99. If you scrap off all the fluff and flair it's a fun game to watch and play.

I don't follow it much any more, used to be a faithful Denver Donkey fan, since faded. I like catching some of the play-off games and this one, I usually have the TV sound off the radio broadcast or music on.
I was interested when Coach Prime (Deion Sanders) got hired at CU. He isn't messing around, he's cleaning house. Denver should have picked him up. A bit of triva; Deion Sanders the only athlete to score an NFL touchdown and a MLB home run in the same week.

To help appreciate football go to Youtube and watch highlights of famous players, plays, and touchdowns. There are some amazing/gifted athletes out there that have worked their buts off to be as good as they are. Fun to watch.

I recommend some highlights of the GOAT, Bo Jackson. Watch both his baseball and football highlights to be amazed.
