It's like torture to me.

Why is football important? Good question. Like Will Rogers said, all of us can't be heroes, somebody's gotta sit on the curb and clap when they ride by. I think that's what it is. People want to pull for something, whether it's America and you want to fly your flag ... why are NASCAR fans so adamant? Why do they pull for Jeff Gordon or Little E? People want to have something to pull for. You become part of a brotherhood. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, you seek out other Dallas Cowboy fans.
