Lol, I've started fast-forwarding through the theme song myself. ;)
I've never figured out the appeal of chasing a ball around. Although I do "get" some of the non-ball sports.
Yes, we're football, although baseball made a fair bid for it. Generally in a football-fan-heavy area, you learn to adapt rather than being on the outside permanently -- there's enough going on at any given time of year that I can get away with asking, "What game?" -- if nothing else, there's bound to be both a pro game and a college game on. Then I just nod and smile and sound sympathetic, and if I have to say anything else I ask, "What's the score?" The advantage of working a convenience store is that I usually don't have to say more than two sentences in a "conversation". :)
Then I can ask my co-worker what sport I was discussing, if I really need to know. And I temporarily memorize the score and plays to repeat when the next customer asks if I know "how the game's going". Some of them have figured it out, but I think half my customers assume I'm actually interested and not just paid to be friendly. ;)
