And with the NFL, we had a league that grew to 20 teams in 4 divisions. This was the game we played: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4454/statis-pro-football

That's where I learned the rules / tactics, etc for American football. And the team I chose to represent (and become a fan of) was Cinncinati Bengals. This was when Boomer Esiason played. When it became superbowl (for real), we rented the biggest TV at the local dealer.

Several years ago I played cards online with a Norwegian couple who were very interested in learning about American football so between hands I tried teaching the basics to them. The wife, I think they were married, caught on really quick, but the husband wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but they were nice. Back then internet access in Norway was spotty at best so they could only log in for a few hours a day and it was very expensive. Not sure, but I think they were ready to sell their children into slavery* for internet access.. *Joking.. Last part isn't true..
