Go Giants!

So as an English woman I've never really been into American football-why would I be? Its not like its rugby! That it is definitely not-I don't mean to be a traitor now that I'm living here and all but is it not really boring? It is so stop/start I just don't get it-at least rugby is exciting, and I'll tell you what really irks me the countdown clock-so it says there is 10mins left of the quarter-yeah right that could last an hour-what's the point-at least in rugby and football you know how long you have left! So what happened on Sunday then when I couldn't stop watching the Superbowl? It was like I got swept up in it all and I actually cheered when the fat guy sat down into his touch down-is that what its called? Then on Tuesday I watched the parade on TV and the Rally (Rally? is this Grease?) and somehow couldn't help feeling emotional (maybe its my hormones) then the presenter says-'the World Champions'-hang on isn't it 'American' football as in its only played in America? Ok insanity over-I don't get it!
