Just want to see if there are any NFL fans out there. That would be American Football to the uninformed.

I started watching it around 5 years ago and have really been taken by it.

I happen to be a fan of the much maligned, and fallen giants of the NFL; the Oakland Raiders.

If I remember correctly, that stadium cost $1 billion. The most expensive stadium in the world and two of the world's largest HD TV screens. It's also taller than the Empire State Building if you turned it on it's endzone. As the saying goes, 'Everything is bigger in Texas'.

How do you guys watch the games? I record them off of DTSV, or I just access NFL.com/mobile on my cellphone and ''watch'' it via live text updates.

I'm impressed that I have not seen a single Packers and especially a Steelers or Patriots fan.

Chargers fan here. Been watching NFL since the early 00's, and have also found that I have grown to be a supporter of the Saints :eek:

A few years back I went to watch the Chargers v Saints game in London! It was incredible :D

I started watching a while back... and by a while I mean a long, long time ago... So long ago, in fact, that I still shout for the Redskins who haven't won anything since 1991 (kinda like my other team, Liverpool). I still have a Redskins "81" shirt lying around somewhere... 81 was Art Monk's number and that boy could catch the hell out of a ball... Still stay up all night for the Superbowl and I try catch the Skins games on ESPN whenever they play.

PS. Kaleb, as far as that "nfl is for sissies" thing goes, I always quote one of the commentators from a game I watched back in the day... He was talking about the QB and said: "Well, his biggest problem is that at 6,2" he can't see over his offensive line." then I tell people to YouTube the Skins' Sean Taylor or watch this little William Perry video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wl9au4knak&feature=related
