I have been following the Rugby world cup on NBC's Peacock streaming service, I have never watched Rugby before but I've gotten into it and it seems very intimate and I can understand how I'd feel if my country got knocked out. I'll mention that the schedule is here, the games are on the weekend at times that are easy to catch on the U.S. East Coast

It looks to me like American football on drugs, like the guy gets tackled and the play is not over but he passes it back to his teammate, instead of kicking the ball straight they kick it diagonally but the quality of play is great.
Lately I've been on a sports photography kick which means I go to as many home games at my university as I can, I went to an American football game today and a Polo game yesterday, tomorrow I might go to a field hockey game.
I got the Peacock subscription because I'm into Premier League Football (aka Soccer) which has the funny story I had a fight with my RSS reader YOShInOn which uses a content-based recommender algorithm. At first I was expecting it to learn that I liked the NFL and hated the Premier League but it kept showing me articles about games that went 7-0 or where it was 0-1 and an own goal and I went from "What the fuck is Arsensal?" to carefully following every Arsenal and Man City game.
So at this point in time I am so preoccupied with sports that I don't have the energy to really pay attention to the NFL or MLB at this point.
It would help if the sports didn't seem to have arbitrary rules towards a specific end. Fewer rules the better.
