LOL I love football. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights are the best in this house
 
I am a die-hard Notre Dame and Denver Bronco fan. Coming in a close second is the Patriots.

Status: offline 		football (or i guess i should call it soccer here) is not for me, although i have a friend who plays on a women's team, and several others who support their home team with fierce pride. i did, however, play ladies rugby during my time at uni, and love to play it although find watching all sports far from thrilling.

I agree.  Although I occasionally like to shoot hoops or play some game or another with my peers, I could never really understand the appeal of televised sports. Football, baseball, and soccer are just too DULL to watch. (Sometimes I'll make an exception for basketball.)  I guess that it's one of those "you have to participate to understand" things. Maybe it's just cause I throw like a girl!!!

Status: offline 		I love football.  It's a big deal in this house, and we are excited it has started again.  Now, we are getting cable just to be able to watch it.  I am not as crazy about college football, but if I had to pick one it's Wisconsin.  I am a total Packers fan, though they had a crappy time last year.  I hope it will be better this one, just depends on who gets injured.  It's supposed to be Bretts last year, and if that is true, I really hope it goes a lot better. 

I have a cheesehead, and we fight over who gets to hold the Official NFL football during the game...It's just something I enjoy a lot, and can't wait till the cable can be hooked up to watch again.  I keep up online though, it's not quite the same but I get a bit of a fix.

So, I guess the answer is YES, I could care a less if there is a guy around to talk to it about.

Status: offline 		If someone could maybe explain to me what the hell is going on in the American version of football, then maybe I might be interested. Personally though, I doubt I'd be interested even if I did know! It just seems to be about beating each other up!

Now, if we're talking soccer (British football), then yes - its wonderful! Though I realise that many Americans will be left in the same position as I in relation to the American version!

Status: offline 		besides, team sports aren't really my thing - not becasue i'm uncooperative, but i don't really like the competitve nature of them. i know they're mostly friendly fun, but it's still not for me, i prefer outdoor pursuit type sports that challenge the individual in a different way.

Sorry for the hijack: yes, there are women who actually like sports.

Status: offline 		American football is the most boring sport going. English football is barely better but watchable. I only watch for the legs in shorts to be honest but prefer rugby as i like my men well built. Why on earth would i watch football so i had something to discuss with a man, jeeze !!

Status: offline 		Yes I enjoy American football. It is not my favourite sport but I do enjoy it. Watched it just last night in fact, double header but I could not stay up for the second game. I dislike golf, baseball, basketball unless it is women's college, and most other major competitive sports. I do, however love going to a good ice hockey match. And don't EVEN get me started on boxing, I LOVE boxing!!!!! Love love love LOVE it!!!
