If Europeans really wanted to see FOOTBALL (see Hand Egg) in a way they may like better than the NFL would to be able to see two very good collage teams play, more continuous play, not so many commercials and far less celebrating after each play and very exciting football. A much better game for my money.
You really don't get the impact of the game watching on TV, you have to see the game live to understand it.

As far as pads go, for anyone that's played Hand Egg they know that pads are as much as weapon as they are for protection. A head on collision between a 250 pound running back and a 280 pound linebacker without pads would a train wreck, I wont even go into the 300 pound lineman that can run a 4.5 or 4.6 40 yard dash. If you're in the stands you can hear those collisions. Game wouldn't last to half time without pads or as someone said you'd be playing rugby. Nothing wrong with rugby it's fun to watch.

The Pats are very good, the Rams not so hot lately.
