I do not agree with this guy at all in my opinion football is the most exciting sport to watch and the most fun. There is so much hype that leads up to the super bowl which makes it even better especially when you have the most successful football team ever along with the best duo of head coach and quarterback in Tom Brady and bill bellichick. Steve almond is an idiot for saying he doesn't watch football anymore because he's missing out on the most exciting sport and he missed out on the probably the best super bowl matchup in many years with one of the most successful defenses and the Seattle Seahawks and the best offenses and coaching staff the New England Patriots. Not only did he miss one of the greatest plays in Super bowl history he missed the patriots winning there 4th super bowl and Malcolm butler making the biggest play of his rookie season and roughly the biggest play of his career even though i'ts early
