Horse poop... I'll believe it when I see it.
Anyone see this yet? Thought it was pretty cool for a budget of 200.00?

For every 20 minutes of American football there seems to be 1 minute of actual gameplay and 19 minutes of replays, cheerleaders and ad breaks. At least with proper football those 20 minutes will actually give you uninterrupted gameplay.
If Halo was like American football, every time someone scored a kill, everyone would be forced to watch a replay from about a dozen angles for ten minutes and forced host migrations would be sponsored by a beer brand.
Looks like bloom really messed with the soldiers.
Soccer I can understand, but in order to appreciate it you need a better appreciation for the each players passing, positioning, and ball finesse.
In Hockey it moves at the speed of basketball but scoring points is a big deal rather than it being trivial like in Basketball. It's also super physical which is fun to watch too.

Basketball sucks.
Soccer sucks.
Hockey sucks.
Quidditch is where it's at.

The problem here is you're watching American soccer.
Although, bizarrely, my favourite sport is golf, so relaxing.

This is true, but in American football, huge or interesting plays can happen at any moment, and often do. Take any given slice of 20 minutes of uninterruped soccer, and it's going to be the ball getting kicked back and forth over and over with nothing interesting happening. To put it differently, that one minute of action in American football is usally more interesting than the 20 minutes of booting the ball back and forth. I realize this is akin to pissing in your corn flakes, and I will stop now. Different sports for different folks. FWIW, I don't like most American sports, either.
Which is not to say soccer is a bad sport; it's just not one I enjoy watching. I understand the global popularity, I just can't share in the enthusiasm.
Yup. I'd rather watch soccer.

The only sport I can stand to watch is baseball.
Go Tigers!

Baseball, football, golf, bowling, etc., they all suck.
Chess is the only good sport.

I only watch the World Cup - I think football is the best and only sport of it's kind with a proper global following and every four years it's fantastic to see Asian countries, South American and African countries alongside Western nations compete for little more than national pride.
So it's like, every four years football isn't boring to me. In between that, i'd just switch over if there's a game on.
I used to watch basketball when I was younger but they stop showing it and I lost interest.
You know what's boring? Golf. And cricket.
Not premium quality. Soccer is incredible no matter what year.
Sports hierarchy:
(American) Football>college basketball>NBA>college football>hockey>soccer>tennis
At the bottom of the list lies baseball lol. Also, bowling and NASCAR aren't sports. You can actually eat and smoke while you bowl, and NASCAR is little more than driving in extreme conditions
edit: Aww, forgot about golf. I love me some golf.

A. Going to a game and watching it live.
B. Watching a game on TV with a group.
C. Watching a game on TV alone.
I'll watch any sport for cases A and B.
The level of interest drops so much between B and C that I'll really only watch alone if it's an important NCSU game (i.e. rivalry or tournament).
If only I could watch MLG at a sports bar... (Might try to go to MLG Raleigh.)

Maybe, but it's pretty much all about the money these days. Clubs throw around hundreds of millions and it's usually a case of the winning team being the highest spenders.
I just can't enjoy that sort of thing and maybe why I gravitate towards the WC.
I think if this ever happened (and I'm more than likely to be EazyB's identical twin) I might actually pop into a bar and buy a drink there. Just might.

You will be hearing from my lawyers.
I remember that, ha!
No, but seriously, golf can sometimes be AMAZING.

343i, please do not use the stupid sniper reticule from Anniversary in Halo 4. It was fine in the five games before it, no need to change it.
Heh. The funny thing is, I can't watch sports if I'm rooting for a team. The only team I root for is the football team from my home state (Iowa), and I don't watch their games - I'm a wreak throughout if I do. So I only watch games where I have no stake and can just enjoy it. I've never had a home state NFL team, so it's stress-free viewing for me.

Balotelli is a fucking idiot and dumbass, and yet, he's a breath of fresh air in a sport filled with prima donnas.
The guy is an accident waiting to happen.
I enjoy the tension while watching a team I like. That's pretty much what football is about for me. Not that I really follow it anymore.

Wasn't there a footballer hanging around a town centre just giving away wads of cash to people passing by?
When it gets to that stage you know it's just stupid.

I get the most enjoyment out of soccer during the world or European championships. Getting together with your friends and watching the match is just so awesome.

Yeah? Well...
Gotta side with those saying soccer isn't that interesting though... It's huge here in Germany and I just don't get the scale of its hype.
That was Balotelli disguised as Santa iirc
More to love baby.
So I gotta ask now. The correct school, Iowa State; the acceptable schools, Drake and UNI; or that other school?
If you want the DLC to be already on the disc then sure. But people gotta get paid for their work on the maps, I have no problem paying for DLC.
More playlists have to require DLC. I think eventually after the dev costs and some profit has been made on a DLC pack, then it should go free IMO. It's not gonna happen with the current people at MGS.
U of I. I'm not really into the college rivalry thing (my mom went to U of I, then got her masters at Iowa State). The college of business there at the University of Iowa was great. I love Iowa City.
I did my first two years at Kirkwood, another great school.
Neither do I, but the three maps for $10 stuff has got to go.
Totally, one thing that made me hopeful is David saying a while back that, if we want a change from this 3 for $10 model, they will look into it.
I only do the rivalries for certain sports. Otherwise education stuff is all pretty equal. Each of the uni's have their strengths. For example, myself; I would find it silly to go to anywhere aside from ISU for software engineering.
Is 5 for $15 more to your liking or do you think they'd drop what they consider to be the value for each map. I would probably (like a fool) pay $15 for 5 maps just because I love new DLC maps... Only for Halo though. I did it for CoD once, back when I was boycotting Reach for a couple months.
