I've been following the NFL since 1990 and my passion for the 49ers has grown so much since then, I remember jumping on the net in the late 90s trying to get info on draft prospects, etc. I think the way the NFL presents its product is so attractive and makes it very easy to follow it with a passion.

I love the Panthers, but I have definitely had more interest in this upcoming season than the NRL late in the season. I think it depends on how my teams are going, but I would say at the moment that my 49ers are leading the pack ATM.

I am NQ to the bone and the cowboys and league is my number one sport but my Bucs are a close second and daylight third.

I love everything about the NFL, the stadiums, merch, jerseys, presentation is all first class and puts our great game to shame in most areas.

Going over to the states at Xmas, missus is from Charlotte, just so happens the Bucs are playing the Panthers on Xmas eve!!!!!!!!!! Awesome timing, I have been to about 4 NFL games and they are f**king brilliant live. Will be wearing my old school Orange jersey, they are f**king heinous but I love it!!

Normally equal, but with the disgusting exit that the Tigers had, I'm starting to prefer the NFL more. Even in past years, I love watching neutral NFL games, something about them is more exciting than NRL neutral games. I used to love watching Vick with the Falcons play, as well as admiring the skills of a Peyton Manning, and the pure running ability of an Adrian Peterson/LaDainian Tomlinson (unless he plays us!).

You are on to something when it comes to neutral games. The absolute attractiveness of the game. You don't need to be attached to a team to enjoy the spectacle and the strategy.

For example, Cam Newton and the Panthers this year. It is not just Newton's raw athleticism - it is the way his skill and confidence works with a very open team strategy.

Watching Rodgers and the Packers is similar - it is just good to watch a great strategy that is well executed and it is all out there to see.

as many have stated, the NFL has it over the NRL in every facet. I also have too admit, after meeting many players, what many get up too, it too turned me off league, the bogan culture amongst league too is a huge turnoff.

i could watch old bills games all day everyday, couldn't say the same about parra anymore.

i havent posted or been in the parra for quite some time, apart from the wankers there (not all but prob maajority these days) i just dont give a shit what is happening with the club.

Yeah I love NFL more than NRL, even with the Bengals being my team of choice. That said, so many good teams to watch in the NFL it really doesn't matter. And maybe one day the Bengals will turn the corner.

I think I love Tim Tebow and he now has his own billboard in Denver. It's only a matter of time now.

I dont know man
do denver have the guys to rework his mechanics to be a Pro? Im not sure. I know tebow would be a star under someone like Reid. But Fox? He's not shown much ability to develop QB's


Tebow era will end poorly in Denver. Quinn is the horse to bet on there. Once Denver trade or cut Tebow, if he lands in the right spot, he'll be a star

Call me biased but i think the best place he could eventually land is Philli, the work AR has done with Super #5, and now Vick, trading Kolb in for a pro bowler and 2x 2nd rounders and now Kafka who is the next Kolb, book it... Young wont be around long enough to cash in... but regardless of what people think or Andy Reid as a HC, there is no doubting his credentials in terms of developing QB's

Tebow won't go to a team where he has to compete for the starting job. He'll go to a team like Seattle where he can make the job his after what he has experienced in Denver. I could see him at the 49ers, Vikings and Chiefs as well.

jeez thats a tough one i like the NFL more than the NRL but probably like league more than American football if that makes any sense
they both just shade Baseball Hockey Canadian Football and Basketball for me it also depends upon which of my teams are going well
however latley it's been a case of watching cronulla without any decent attack Wakefield get pummeled San jose choke The Cubs implode
and having the Bolts promise but not delivering and winnipeg get beaten by the riders again and again and the rockets inabilty to win in the post season...
wait what was i trying to say ah damn now i'm depressed
way to go bills by the way

Makes sense. Nailed it.

AFL makes the NRL looks amateur, let alone NFL.
