It's just great to celebrate athleticism in talking out of your Irish butt.
Liam Neeson is known for many things; being Irish, being tall, being a terrific Shakespearean actor on top of film and "normal" theater, and of course the persistant rumor that he has the biggest member in Hollywood. His football knowledge, however, leaves something to be desired. But the combination of his attendance of a Jets game and having a new movie to promote landed him on SportsCenter, where he gave one of the most transcendant performances of awkwardness to ever grace the screen. In addition to cursing within 10 seconds of being on air, he admits to knowing nothing, then discusses being a boxer in Ireland, and finally responds to a question about Tim Tebow by saying it sounds like "ancient Arabic."

Who cares if Liam Neeson doesn't know everything about American football? He didn't grow up here. He doesn't profess to be a sports expert. Just because you go to a game it doesn't mean you have to suddenly know everything about that particular sport or team. Went to my first hockey game, didn't know a thing about the sport. Had fun anyway.
Liam Neeson is still a total bada$$ and will always be.
