If you're in the target audience for this blog, I'll add that football itself is very enjoyable. The strategic elements of it really are game playing at its finest. The basic goal is for the offense to advance 10 yards down the field within 4 plays (inclusive). Here are videos covering formations, which are core to understanding the game: (defense) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hgu7hExdjQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hgu7hExdjQ (offense) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY7b24cv600 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY7b24cv600 Also, if you have a chance, I recommend watching any football games which don't have commercials (including not going to live games which are televised) because the commercial breaks slow down the game unnaturally by about an hour. Arena football is especially fun to watch (basically a minor league and semi-pro type team with ex college-level stars playing under modified arena rules... google to find a local team) and high school football is also quite fun to watch.
