I am a total footbal junkie. I don't know how many of you have the NFL network, but I think it's about the greatest thing since sliced bread.
From in depth analysis of each matchup during the season, Game of the week which turns a game into a Hollywood production, full coverage of the combine, analysis of each draft entry, owners meeting coverage, and now every game played in NFL europe.
I usually cannot get enough, I'm a particular fan of the above mentioned "game of the week" as well as the new vesion of 6 days to sunday that they do every week spotlighting a different players journey b/n games. Just curious for those that get NFL network, what your fav. shows are?
However, enough is enough. A couple of nights ago the first NFL Europe game was on, Berlin v. Amsterdam I think. It was absolutely unwatchable. Poor play, no intensity, and the uniforms.... man, can someone do something about those hideous uniforms.
For those that may have seen NFL Europe in the past, is it worth watching? will it get any better? Do you eventually develop an interest?
And do you think the players really care about the game?

Its all kinda like the Winter Olympics Who Dey...over glorified former college stars doing their best Bode Miller .... ...just kidding man...It probably an interesting league from a developing your 3rd string quarterback point of view...who knows maybe the next Brett Farve is out there right now... ...And yes, players care...they might not have the talent it takes, but they care...they are dreaming of the NFL , just as much as the Arena league guy, or the CFL guy...

I understand that they care about the game of "football." Geeeeezz... I care about the game of "football" and I've never played it. No I was questioning there sincerity towards the "NFL Europe" as a league.
Anyway, it's obivious you have yet to read my post about my desire to see Argentina win back-to-back gold's in basketball.
