Here's a thread for all the cats who like American football. Training camp's about to start, and I'm sure somebody has an opinion on something.

Like Ricky Williams retiring after, like, five seasons, the douche.
Janiel
got any info on the 49ers roster this up comming season? too lasy to look it up
Blood Angel
>_> if soccer is for wusses, then american football must be for pansies. Rugby, virtually the same game, the players wear no armor. Why is it the american footballers do? o_o;
Janiel
great now this is gonna turn into a debate...they wear armor 'cause theres 400+ lb. guys running around crushing anyone they see
Blood Angel
>_> the same as in rugby then. Except no armor.....american pansies...don't brake a nail..XD

I actually think American football's a lot more physical than rugby...tackles are far more direct, and there's a whole lot more contact involved. In Rugby, tackles are usually just a case of grabbing the guy round the legs of the waist and pulling him down...you don't have people charging into you head on.

A friend of mine played for the football team in Uni for a while...he reported a long list of injuries ranging from a broken ankle to a dislocated shoulder. Granted, this is because he was a moron tongue.gif

You havn't watched a game in a while then have you Seraphina ?
Watch out for the new Pacific Island team , it hurts just to watch them .

Of course it's nothing the All Blacks and new team captain Tana Umanga can't handle . Have you ever seen Tana take a tackle ? or stood on the side lines as a herd of Rugby players literally thunder down the field . It vibrates all the way up through your knees twisting your stomach with excitement and resonates right out through your finger tips . There big fellas, I know, I've fed them .

P.S. sorry Snuffy for hijaking your glorius thread , it wont happen in future , unless of course somebody mentions the Netball wink2.gif

Nah, just our version tongue.gif Where there's far more running like hell and a whole lot less violence. I would certainly give our teams about five seconds against New Zealand or such like dontgetit.gif

The Niners are a bunch of sissy girls, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Sorry to be the one to break this to you.

Wow, somebody actually posted on my thread, I was thinking I'd have to start talking to myself. Now I actually have to know what the hell I'm talking about. dontgetit.gif
Janiel
i never really had my hopes up in the first place, i was just wondering (tis my moms fav team anyway) i personally dont have a favorite team, i just root for whos winning tongue.gif
snuffypuffer
I like the Steelers, personally, but I don't see them exactly setting the world on fire either.

Falco Rex
Try telling Ray Lewis he's a pansy to his face! tongue.gif . Not that this is appropriate for anything currently going on in the NFL; but I'd like to take this opportunity to say..neener, neener!
Why?
Because I spent years watching my Patriots get stomped, and had to listen to everybody laugh and tell me that they'd never,ever win a Super Bowl in my lifetime. When they actually did it it was almost a sexual experience, I gotta tell ya..
Yeah, that sounds weird. But I live in New England, home of the "close but no cigar" style of sports..
Janiel
good job for you man thumbsup.gif i was hoping they would win one too (id like to see every team in the NFL win a Super Bowl in my lifetime but i know thta wont happen, the browns suck too much)
Falco Rex
Yeah, I'd like to see the Bengals and Saints win one too. But how likely is that?
Janiel
i think a monkey'll fly out of my butt first
snuffypuffer
More likely than Duece Staley being worth a crap, but that's just me.

Well said Kis well said, bunch a pad wearing wimps. Play a real mans game.

I like to see sum of those over paid cissys in a good old fashioned ruck eh kismit.
Falco Rex
Apparently we're going to have to report some threadjacking here. If you'll notice none of us has showed up on your Football thread posting silly or derogatory comments. Is it too much to ask for the same in return? This is becoming the Wrestling Thread all over again already...

Actually, it's the last week of January-first week of February, usually. Thanksgiving is just regular season games and the tail end of the college season.

Speaking of college football.... Soooooooooooonnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrssssssss!

I`m an aussie and only know a tiny bit about the american footy NFL. Its an okay sport but it will never take off down here. My dad knows heaps about it and would fit in with any american group of dads talking about footy! He goes for the radiers!!!

So what do people think about aussie rules footy?!!?! Thats a great sport! thumbsup.gif
Dancing_Dumplings
i think rugby takes more guts then american football really....
i mean american football...you got all those pads and helmets and stuff....in rugby...they dont wear all that clunky crap...they just go out there and ram into each other lol
Subtemperate
The difference in rugby is that they are all looking at the person going to hit them, so knows where its coming from.... American and Aussie Rules football, both have the ability for an opponent to take the person with the ball off guard.....

GO CHICAGO!!! I hope we win a superbowl sometime soon.


DA BEARS!

I didn't know too much about the sport until recently when they had the NCAA Men's tournament on ESPN. I have to say that it is a sport I can definitely respect.

I really like the program and I think the coach (Bob Stoops) is one of the best, but USC all the way. No offense to the OU program (it isn't their fault), but the Trojans got snubbed last year and we can all thank that damn BCS formula. I know they made a change to it this year and I really hope it works for the better, but I would still rather see a playoff system.

Superbowl: Indianapolis -vs- Philadelphia

Go Cowboys!!

I actually agree with you there, much as i like OU, they had no business in the Sugar Bowl last year. They couldn't win their conference championship game. Both USC and LSU won their conferences, and should have met for the championship. The BCS is crap, not only would playoffs decide an undisputed National Champion, but they'd rake in a lot more money than the bowl system does now.
