Don't die of shock, but I was watching the Super Bowl yesterday... strange sport that it is.

I continually saw and heard the word interception come up. You know "the record number of interceptions by a defensive team in Super Bowl history"...

Is this a common usage? I would tend to use intercepts but I'm not sure whether this is because I'm a lowly up-under type person (with minimal grasp on the English language) she says getting in before the Zilders on Board have their dig or is the use of "interceptions" particular to the sport? Or is it them 'Merkan sporting journos that is just not edumacated?

'Course, it also puzzles me that this is another one of those "World Championship" sports that the rest of the world doesn't get invited to, but I'm trying to keep this a word post...
