new football fans?

Was anyone not a fan of American Football before hearing the rookie, but now you are? or maybe the story made you more interested than you were before?

I am a massive football fan, playing and watching, that is real football though (what you would call soccer). Now I had never watched any american football before hearing the rookie. It got me hooked, now I know how the game works I will watch it if it is ever on. It has even got me to lose spectacularly on a few games of madden. I wish that american football was played in a more 3D way like in the book, but we can't have anything now can we? Love the book, love the game.

I watched some football, but never considered myself a fan. I think having that inital background really heightened the enjoyment factor for me. Understanding what it meant for the receiver to run a post, and the strong safety cutting off a route made a difference for me... Favorite stop-time line from Quentin?

I usually call American Football "Sissy Rugby". The play's too frakkin' slow and there's not enough challenge for me to keep watching it. The Rookie was like watching the game at highlight speed... with an interesting backstory... I still won't watch American Football. Maybe we can get Siggie in there as a commentator, then I'd possibly watch Monday Night Football. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

G'day. After reading the Rookie I am keen to check out more of this fascinating sport... but not much chance of that Down Under, where TV coverage is NIL.

G'day

I am not a sports fan at all, but I now want to watch some American football so I can show off my jazzy new skillzzzz.

I've been playing or watching Football my entire life. Really love the game. I like all sports but Football is the best. Go Texans!!! Scott did a great job of getting the feel of the action during the games.

Hockey's not a real sport so it's not watched here in Texas anyways.

although we don't have a lot of your kind of football here (the dutch kind being a dumb sport called soccer in america) I always had some interest in it, but the rookie helped me understand the game a lot more and I appreciated the sport a lot more after that. I even watched the super bowl. Maybe not a big deal in the USA but here in the Netherlands that is in the middle of the night and only on some obscure channel.
