    Default Official National Football League Thread

    I'm a huge Denver Broncos fan and have been since their the year of their first super bowl. Watching Elway give it his all at such an old age really hooked me and I've never stopped supporting them since.

    Now though, the attitude in Denver has changed with Josh McDaniels and every Denver fan doesn't really know what to think about the team this upcoming year.

    Nontheless I'm really excited for the 2010-2011 NFL season. There is no telling who is going to win the championship this season. I'm sure most of you guys on here are Seahawks fans. They are going in the right direction with Pete Carroll and will be back to winnning soon enough.

    Sorry but just dont get the NFL, tried it but found too disjointed, too many short plays etc.

    If you like "ball in hand charging games with heavy hits etc" have a look at rugby ( league better than union) not my most favourite sport but you may like it

    Bud Selig could learn a thing or two from Roger Goddell and the NFL. There is a reason the NFL has surpassed every sport mightily in the past decade or so in terms of rating and attendance. The NFL is great in every facet of the game.

    Rugby is almost too crazy. I have never really watched it live, but I have seen highlights of it.

    NFL has highest average attendnace per game followed by Bundeslega and Premiership.

    Do you get many away fans in NFL? Over here for a team with say a 40,000 attendance we would have 3-4000 away fans (all segregated). This leads to massive atmosphere.

    American friends I knew in London loved the charged atmosphere of a football game and wondered in you have same in NFL

    One thing which I like about NFL is the salary cap/draft system.

    This seems to even the playing field

    I have always wondered why baseball doesnt have such a cap
