What Brand of Football Do You Enjoy Most?

Alright guys,

As there are several areas that this could go into, I chose this one as this is where I feel the most people will see it...

I'd like to know what brand of football do you enjoy most and why... It'd be nice to have a bit of conversation as well...

I'm partial to NCAA as I feel that it's the purest form of the game found at a high level. The tradition is great, the fans are great, and there is a lot less drama as far as players go then in the NFL. The variety of plays and formations seen in this brand of football is very interesting and I just find the players play harder, not having their meal tickets punched just yet.

The NFL comes in at a close second, though at times I find it gets a bit predictable and it also makes for a lot of drama... That being said, it's the undesputed highest form of football that there is and at times it's a beautiful thing to watch...

I also like watching highschool football as that's where it all begins, though it can be a bit long to watch with the younger teams...

(BTW, I've given people the ability to choose more then one choise)

P.S. Should this be better suited to another in another thread, please feel free to move it...

I love the pageantry of the NCAA but that's not enough to surpass the flare of the NFL ... as Bill Walton would say "These are men competing for the ultimate prize"

NCAA is first because it's all kids trying to get through school but also fighting for a spot to be an all star in the big leagues. Not as much drama because you can't hold out on a contract you don't have. And the formations and plays you see are ridiculous.

NFL is second because it's the NFL, nuff said.

CFL is my third because I'm Canadian, and I like the high flying passing games used by pretty much every team

I like the type of football where they don't use a rolled ball and wear helmets.

I like the NCAA followed by High School and then the NFL.

Here's my list:
1.NFL
2.NCAA
3.High School
4.Arena
5.Canadian

I do occasionly like NCAA better but overall the NFL is dominant over any other league.

I know this will sound like a weird comment, but I think NFL network is hurting the NFL, at least in my eyes, and that's why I'm into NCAA more these days... I just can't get over the drama and the constant politics behind the NFL game... I cna also see that some people live on it... My wife is into NFL more now, due to the drama... It's kind of wasted on me...

That being said if NCAA adopted a final four format for Bowl winners, I'd be an even huger fan and NFL would likely really fade from my football radar, at least until playoffs...

I grew up on NCAA football, specifically SEC conference.

I recently moved to Atlanta, so I am trying to get into the Falcons. It's almost as hopeless as watching the Braves though. haha
