Yeah, the Belecheck Pats are right up there with the Lombardy Packers.
D&D... I don't play it, but I see it played at the game store I play Magic at.
Basically, it's a role playing game, where players are knights, fighters, mages, clerics, etc. The play together in parties, exploring dungeons and quests. A dungeonmaster organizes things, keeps track of actions and statistics, etc. They roll dice to determine results.
It can become very very complicated, when experienced players have at it.
