I did not watch the game anywhere. I was at my parents' house and they don't get the channel it was on. So we watched the Raiders game instead.

I really used to hate football, and to some extent professional sport still annoy me a lot. But they are entertaining at times and football is fairly easy to understand; it's also exciting. With baseball you kind of have to watch the whole game to get any excitement- the drama builds pretty slowly. With football every play is dramatic.

Basketball is exciting too but it moves so fast. Here are some analogies:
baseball : Tolstoy
football : Halloween
Basketball : flock of birds
