I’m front the UK too! Reside in Bolton (fairly local to you haha). I started watching in the same season, but I haven’t looked back since – and you’re right there’s too many Pats fans over here!

Thanks everyone! I hope to be a regular poster on here, which hopefully means I’ll pick up a hell of a lot more of the rules as I go along.

For those interested in why I became a Chiefs fan, I started watching AF around four years ago without any sort of affection for anyone in particular, i was content for a while to do that. But then i wanted to actually want a team, to have a ‘home’ as it were. A few of my mates supported different teams, Jets and Pats being the main two, so I did what anyone in my situation would do and I put all 32 teams into the metaphorical ‘hat’ and voila, here I am three years later!

All my friends tell me to drop the Chiefs and support a more successful team, but I’ve been struck and that’s it, I’m a Chiefs fan for life now. Arrowhead sounds amazing and I hope to one day visit.

I’m fairly new to Rugby (both forms) and I love cricket, but (like American Football, I fear), it seems more complicated than it actually is, because of all the technical terms used.

I’m a simple man, with simple needs, which is why I primarily watch football (soccer for you, and I’m not trying to be patronising!).

College Football?

Why does it seem more popular than the NFL?

Do all college players have to have an education?

If so, what happens to all the top quality players who are really stupid? Surely talent over brains? Who cares if they’re stupid if they have entertain a crowd?

Also, I’m still a bit foggy with the NFL draft.

If a player is picked, does he have to join that team? or is that usually sorted behind closed doors with agents?

Sorry to bother you with all these questions :sign0104:

Ah, I see. Makes more sense when you put it like that. There’s probably more questions to come!

American Football is fecking complicated!

One thing I can’t get my head around is that I know that at any point after the snap, you’re only allowed to pass the ball forward once, but can do lateral passes as many times as you want, why don’t teams use that rule to their advantage? I think it’d catch quite a few teams offguard if we were to do that, maybe I’m being naive, I’m sure you’ll set me straight!
