Has the game changed on the last 10 years? 20 years? Or is it basically the same thing?
Do they come up with new things? Or is it always the same sort of thing?
But then again...our football is a much less brutal than yours, so maybe my falling out of it is more justified... Boring poor show.
Well, as you may know, there is a bit of down time between plays in American Football.... plenty of time for tweeting and texting.
It has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years specifically. There are rules tweaks every year, and lately they have been taking big swings towards making the game safer and more competitive. Big plays are way more common because the rules have favored offenses quite a bit.
Also, one of the players, Le'Veon Bell, is changing the game with his patient running. He seems to just shuffle behind the line before bursting through, it is incredible to watch.
Unlike football on this side, the clock is always ticking, the gameplay is always the same... Sometimes, there's one guy that has some fancy footwork and a nice kick.... but that hasn't changed much... it's just boring.
I saw that GIF a bunch of times... and don't get it...
So the guy can run quickly... so what?
It's much more impressive when a guy can run quickly, faster than the others, AND he has to kick the ball forward at the same time... kinda like this:
Then there are few pretty team plays like this
But, for the most part.... it's 90 minutes of same-old!... and not worth my time.
