Re: Football vs. Football

I did not spam
that was artistic use of the forum-post medium to recreate memory of watching a soccer game.
if you were civilized you would have enjoyed the buildup to the goal
just ask Primo

Re: Football vs. Football

Oh that was a football game? I thought it represented the stop-and-start-every-other-second game play of American football.

Re: Football vs. Football

I don't actually mind watching American football, but only as highlights. I've watched the last two Superbowls and it's mostly boredom interspersed with sweet hits and the occasional moderately exciting play.

North American sports in general though seem to be geared around advertising.

We'd go home bored off our trees, you have to wait for 5 minutes after 10 seconds of action, did I hear someone say Roids? Oh I didn't?

Just sayin'...

We have a best of 3 series every yr and is equivalent to your superbowl I guess and if we had America's population we'd trump your numbers ten fold. Your NFL players wouldn't last 10 mins in this sort of game! The only thing you guys may have on us is speed and weight, you don't have strength and toughness.

Blood and sweat filled rugby league games anyday!

Re: Football vs. Football

Unfortunately that metaphor falls flat since the rugby players would just be stronger, tougher trucks Chrissy.

Re: Football vs. Football

as I have never heard of a pro rugby player feelign that he is too old for the rough and tumble of rugby and opts to retire earning easy money being an NFL player, I think there's just no basis for that claim.

by contrast, Fernando Valenzuela and Nolan Ryan both moved to the AL from the NL for that very reason.

Also, except for those new zealand guys, you would all lose the dance off.

Of course you may say you were comparing modern NFL to rugby and not Dick Butkus

in which case... have a beer
