Means big burly men in pads knocking the hell out of each other on a beautiful grass (fake or otherwise) field.

then again, I might be the only american on earth that likes both American Football, and "Futbol"

Because TV channels are paying clubs 60mil a year, so they prety much stay on the TV.

and it means football over here, aka the game where you use your FOOT to kick the BALL.

It isn't all about Sunday. It starts on Friday (High School), continues Saturday (College), continues through Sunday (NFL), and finishes with Monday Night Football.

Thats three days devoted to football. (Friday counts as 1/2- school/work, as does Monday)

HEY! We use our foot to kick a ball.... on extra points, field goals, kick offs, and punts.

So we do, but its better than running around in short shorts kicking balls up and down a field the size of Rhode Island.

And in practice they are loose pants! The tight ones are game pants.
