I am excited for the start of the football season, the real manly American kind. NFL is about to kickoff and I wonder just how famous are NFL players around the world. So all you non-Americans (Canada doesn't get to play either) out there get to play a game with me.

I will either show you a picture you tell me if you recognize him and try to give a name off the top of your head (dont look it up, that is not the point). If you think others in your country would recognize him let me know as well.

This should be the most easiest one, I will know right away if I need to adjust the game. Do you recognize this player:

 Ok that is kind of what I wanted to figure out.  His name is Peyton Manning, does that ring a bell?

 Sounds about right. He was in the super bowl again this year but had an epic fail moment to lose the game. He is probably the best player in the league and by far the most recognizable NFL player right now as he is in a million commercials and such.

So at least he is known so its this is not a lost cause. Now lets test how deep into the NFL I can go.

This should be easy too:

Tom Brady. Heard of him?

and

Brett Favre?

Heard of Tom Brady, didn't recognise him, though. Heard of Brett Favre, didn't recognise him, though.

He looks even older than I expected! Nyaa

 Thats a few years ago. LOL

I figured names would be more recognizable. Lets get to some harder ones:

Side question, if I showed you a picture of this guy you know who it is by name right?

It's a good thing I can't play, because I don't know any of these people. That last guy looks familiar, though.

 The image name is kind of a give away.  I knew who most of those football players were.  Only the dude in a suit I did not recognize.

 Ok that is good, but you don't know Brady. I thought he might be the most recognizable. He has won 3 Super Bowls, he dates super famous supermodels, I figured he would get mentioned abroad.

 Obviously. Nyaa

I'd probably recognise more basketball players than gridiron players. It's not very popular here, but it's around.

Of course people recognize Kobe. Basketball is popular in lots of European countries like Serbia, Russia, Spain, Lithuania, Greece, Croatia and so on.

No one gives a shit about Handegg except the Yanks. 

Oh and do you recognize this one?

Did you answer that?

Now ask yourself. Why do I know this one and not all the other more famous ones?

 Is that Fedor's third cousin or something. He must be a lineman they are usually not known.

So you are saying you dont recognize ANY of the football players I mentioned, you never heard of them?

I still need some info from UK.

Iga have you heard of Joe Montana or Jerry Rice. NFL legends don't get any bigger than that.

I heard from Hanna Montana! Does that count?

BTW. That guy with the awesome moustache is Stephen Neal. He is the one that beat Brock Lesnar in a armature wrestling bout. It was in the NCAA division 1 finals, that took place ages ago. There were some rumours that he was going to participate in MMA. 

Fuck these handegg wussies.

Vader do you recognize this one?

Hint: not related to Fedor.

 No clue but he scares me. No one follows real wrestling around here only the fake kind.
