My mental divorce from American football

I saw this meme on social media. I stopped being a football fan in 1985 or so when they went on strike.

In the 1983 class, I have heard of three of them.

It's just nice to see Jon refer to it 'American Football'.

Maybe next summer he'll start watching cricket.

If it’s getting devoured by lions at the coliseum I’ll watch it.

They break for afternoon tea which is kind of similar

I don’t recall ever watching an American football game on the TV. Rarely watched a CFL game either in the past 20 or so years - despite it being a noticeably different game from the US game of four downs and smaller gridiron.

Hockey (depending who’s playing), curling and “football” for me, thank you.

Hard to beat 1983.

Heck, Kelly took his team to FOUR straight superbowls. Don't ask him how many they won.
