I enjoyed playing football. And I like a good football game (which means high school). The reason is that high school football is about the game, and it's simply played.
NFL and increasingly college football are genuinely uninteresting because you have a game that's massively complicated by advertisement. Am I correct to understand that a typical NFL game now takes about 3.5 hours, and the superbowl takes about 6 hours? That's ridiculous.
