Me and my friends once sat down out of the blue to watch the superbowl finals. (We are dutch and know jack shit about AFB).
That shit was mindboggling to watch. 20 seconds of action followed by a solid 30 minutes of hardcore standing around, aerial crowd shots, cheerleaders and dudes running with clipboards wearing headsets.
I get that it's a tactical game and there's some cool moments, but man, that shit is impenetrable if you aren't used to the flow of the game.
I basically need a book called 'American Football for dummies'.
