My step brother. Never played beyond freshman year. I had 3 years of varsity at least. But every time he comes over for a game and brings his junior high school son, he preaches to him to watch the pro's technique. "YOU SAY YOU WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER, WATCH THE DAMN GAME!" Like, dude I played with a guy that played D-1 and he never made the pros! And he was the biggest stud player/athlete I ever met!! I think the kid quit football freshman year as well.
There is also the Fantasy Football Guy who obsessively watches half the games playing on any given game day, and who is massively conflicted on whether he wants his home team to win or if he wants the opposing RB to have the biggest game of his life.
Especially when it comes to college ball, a solid 80% of targeting calls are BS and a player shouldn't be ejected unless it's glaringly obvious it was on purpose.
You be surprised how many fans are all on board with the college targeting and roughing the passer these days. Every time a qb gets hit some fan is like Joe Buck commenting on Randy Moss mooning Lambeau, “that is a disgusting act”
I’m lowkey the analyst and I call 1 thing the whole game then just keep referring to that 1 thing while down playing every other thing I was wrong about
As a former superstitious football watcher this is giving me stressful flashbacks and I'm so glad to be done with that. Was perfectly acted though, well done
@@JonP_4-31inf My dad is still a Vikings fan (we're originally from MN) and I've never seen him sadder than after the Gary Anderson missed FG in 98/99. I just can't figure out why he watches them every year.
What about the boycotter? Whether it's kneeling during the national anthem, protesting the concussions, or getting annoyed at something Roger Goodell said. Often, this person is watching the game at a friend's house or bar, but reminding everyone they are boycotting the league.
Loved the superstition during the game especially if you had the chance to make or break the game by sitting in the wrong chair or preforming the right or wrong act
You missed oh man this is going to be the year because we did “blank and so and so” during the offseason and everybody thinks it’s going to be our year and it’s going to be different until we either 1. Don’t make our expectations, 2. Show promise that we are finally going to make the big game and win a playoff game giving faith to our fan base. Or 3. Doing the first two and blowing our fan base off and repeating ourselves for the next 10 years. This is being a Vikings fan. Hopefully one day we can finally pull one off that’s all we want. Until then Skol Vikes! Love you always no matter how much it pains us.
I’m the guy that shows I know a lot by saying every players first name. Also making snide remarks about play calling while simultaneously bitching about mike macagnan
This will be my first season watching nfl. It’s a pretty cool game. My aussie league teams are shit house and it’s finals time, so I’ve got nothing else to watch except nfl. Complicated game though, thank god for RU-vid tutorials :)
Um, wait. You're an Australian rules football fan and say American football is complicated!?!? Seriously though I miss when someplace like ESPN would show Aussie rules football in the middle of the night in the US. I actually figured out how it works. Rugby too. I like rugby now because of that. Still totally lost on cricket though TBH. Peace man. 😎
@@Dsdcain yep and NRL. I just can’t get my head around stuff like downs (eg 1st and down), i think I just need more exposure to games to get it straight
It's only complicated when you have to explain it someone who was not raised with it. My girlfriend is Chilean and she's like, this game is booty...🤣...what is it about people south of the Equator?
@@SuperNagz Well it's *sort of* easy. Each team has 4 downs when they have possession of the ball. IE get tackled four times (without moving forward 10 yards) the ball changes possession. If a team can move the ball over 10 yards toward their goal line they get a first down and the count of downs starts over. If the team feels that they can't complete the ten yards they will generally *punt* (kick) the ball on their fourth down to the other team to hopefully put them farther down the field. There can be crazy things that happen on a punt but they're not common. Cheers man.
