Ok would you classify a paper cut as a real injury?

Not at all. That's the beauty of any sport. You don't know who will win. There may be a favorite, but come game time, favorites don't matter anymore. Upsets happen all the time. Most of the time, a game can change rather quickly. There are a ton of different strategies to use. There is a lot of brains involved in sports. It is not just how good the players are, but how they are managed and the plays that are called. You never know what could happen next. There is always that big play or goal that gets everyone excited. There is the fact that your team is representing YOUR city/state. I could go on and on but my point is that there are plenty of things that make watching sport's games great.
If you really think about it, sports cover a lot of movie genres as well. There is always some drama between rivals, after huge wins or after a crushing loss. Players often bring comedy into sports. There is always suspense in every game. Sports cover a lot of the bases.
I wish I could come up with a deep and intellectual explanation of what art is to me, but I've got nothing.
So I'll just leave the dictionary.com definition.
–noun
1.
the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
I must admit, I lol'd.
It's all about watching vs doing. Killaman likes to watch football. Knight likes to do skateboarding.
I was going to make a comment like this. IMO, if you're soooo into football, why not just play it instead of watching other people play?

Well, you can't really count commercial breaks against going to a game because they are also on TV. Sports are a business too, they have to make money. Also, I'm guessing that you meant the Georgia Bulldogs instead of Atlanta.
You stopped watching football because you didn't like the commercial breaks or am I missing the reason? Please elaborate.
It's actually an ok game. I don't feel the over-dramatization that CoD seems to have but I did think at one point "this is just like every other shooter". We'll see, I'll get screenshots and a better opinion when I play some more.
*EDIT*
I forgot to mention that unlike CoD6, Medal of Honor plays very well with wide & weird resolutions such as those with triple-head.
