I tried to get into soccer but watching it just bores the life out of me.

American NFL-style football, I enjoy watching.

Rugby or any other sport that's more like NFL football, only without all the pads and so much downtime, I enjoy most of all. Sadly I can't seem to find any of it on the teevee channels I have here.

I remember back when ESPN first started up, and had zero affiliations/contracts with the big US sports leagues. So we got all kinds of stuff from all over the world. Rugby, Aussie rules, World Cup skiing...

Once I watched a rugby match - might've been the All Blacks playing somebody - and I swear I saw a guy with his ears duct-taped to his head. I can only assume it was to keep them from getting ripped off.

*sniffle*

Good times, good times.
