I can't wait for the lockout to end. I'd like my Broncos to start having real practices.

Try selling your American football to a person who is on the otherside of the world. To us it looks like a game that goes on for hours. There is no flow to it. More stop / start / stop / start. And all the padding they wear? I know. I know. They take hard knocks. But over here we have Gaelic Football and Hurling. The knocks you take in those games are something else. And they have no padding at all. Players don't even get paid for playing the game. You do it out of pride for your County. Someone gets hurt? So what. The game goes on. Help comes on. But no need to stop the game. 35 mins a half. That means it will last exactly 35 mins because they don't have to keep stopping the game and taking out measuring tapes and watching video replays. I think I'd be sleep by the end of 1 quarter of a game of American football. So your job is to try change my opinion on the game. As I live in a country with fast field sports. Plenty of fights in the games too. Gives you something to cheer about. And the players are not all over the top rich people who would gladly swap teams for an extra 10 million a year. It's all about pride and passion.
