To me, Euro football is a bunch of dudes running around in girlie shorts, whereas American Football is the closest thing we have nowadays to gladiatorial combat.

Tyrone Prothro's Amazing Catch

Tyrone Prothro, a University of Alabama player (the university I'm currently attending), made this catch during the '05 season (I think), and it's probably one of the best football plays I've ever seen. Even if you're not that big into American Football, I'd still suggest watching it anyway (I mean, c'mon, it's only a minute long).
