I dont believe it will ever become truly popular over here in the UK due to the fact that football (soccer to you guys) is basicaly a religion here, alot of people here are just plain ignorant towards the game because they think it doesnt make you hard to wear pads etc its a shame because i think its just plain awesome, such a complete game taticaly physicaly and as someone said the athletes are very very talented. unlike the premiership its so balanced thanks mainly to the draft and the fact that any team can pick up a player for the right amount of money in free agency so any non brit fans i urge you to at least give it a try (if you can stay up till like 4 in the morning to finish watching a game) got my tickets for saints-chargers game cost me several hundred quid for 4 tickets can't wait

Being from the UK i'll probably never get out to a bears camp

Best start saving some serious money and catch myself a flight (i wish)
