    Taylor Twellman,eh. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'm a season ticket holder to the Patriots, so I should be able to find the stadium. The tickets are actually fairly reasonably priced. Have you given up on the Eagles yet? You'll be much less depressed on Monday if you jump on the Patriots bandwagon, J.A.B. There's plenty of room, ha, ha. Take care, man.

    That's pretty cool that you work with a Patriots fan in Ireland! He sounds like a very wise man, ha, ha. I've heard that criticism before from Europeans about American football. You're right, though; it is hard to imagine people thinking football is boring. It's my favorite sport.

    This is where itis cultural again. Europeans think American football is boring because they don't understand it, the same reason many Americans think soccer is boring.

    Well Irish try to compare American Football with rugby and in rugby you don't stop play. They think all the breaks in football make it boring.

    Yeah, I think not understanding the game is the main reason people don't like a particular sport. What is a little puzzling is that many American children play in soccer leagues, but do not become passionate about the sport when they become adults.

    That's interesting, because I think we like the breaks in football so we can see the replay of an awesome hit or a great pass. In football we get to enjoy each play twice. I suppose if the play was not so spectacular, then it would seem like a lot of extra time to wait for the next play.
