Seriosuly guys, what's the go there? I was watching it the other night on cable and noticed not one single person was killed during the match! Not to mention they're praticallt wrapped in bubblewrap and kissed by their mommies before they play.

Now some of you may disgree, and that's you right. But unfortunately you're wrong.

Are you kidding? Some of those players can snort twice their body weight in coke!

EDIT: Or whatever these kids are doing nowadays.

Lmao!

I think I'll need to state this thread is intended for friendly jiving at the expence of sportstar only and is not intended to collapse into a flame war. if it does, I so dead guys... so DON'T! a'ight?

No need for it to be that big Rotovia. ~ Euro

How about you and I play some football? You be the QB and I'll be a linebacker. ;)

Trust me the padding don't really provide that much protection. Why do you think you only see either BIG guys, fast guys, or guys with lots of muscle play football? You never see your average desk jokey play football, so yea.

Doesn't provide much protection my arse. I've seen computer moniters shipped with less protection!

What exactly are we comparing it against? Canadian Football (which is way better, btw ;) )? Rugby? Australian Rules Football?

If we're talking Australian rules, then yeah, I'd have to say the NFL is for pussies. I once saw a guy get kicked in the face by a guy flying at like mach 2, and his face was all bloody and he just stood up and kept playing. Based on this evidence alone, I'm not sure they even have hospitals in Australia. They're too tough to really need them.

Of all the lame ways to attack America. Well, that was pathetic if you pride yourself as an American hater. Course, yall like to stereotype dont ya :) We all like watching sports. So this will get our goats. Congrats though, better method then your fellow haters, since they like to blow up women and children to show their hate.

Indeed. In Aussie football you get decapitated and you keep on playing "Walk it off!" Your teammate would chant...

Omg! You're the smartest person in the history of complete mental retardation... One, I don't hate America. I just think your footballers are pussies. I like the way you assume everyone hates you though. I'm sure you could right a book on that, but I'll chalk it up to some kind of sick reverse racism thing. Lastly, don't ever compare me to terrorists. That was sick, and low, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ummm...I'd say most American Fotball jock types DO get into it for the pussy...so um, yeah, you're right.

Any American football players ever lost a testicle playing, like Buck Shelford? Ouch!

No, they're shipped via UPS, which is infinitely more punishing (when I order a crate full of records, I always ask for an extra 50: 25 extra on each side, cuz they'll be toast anyway...little itsy bitsy pieces...UPS is evil)

Except a player did die during a game last week. Feel better now?

I dont really know how it works anyway... maybe someone should make a thread explaining the game to those of us who don't have a clue. But, to be fair, it does look like a hard game. The players all look quite intimidating. The armour and helmet thingys all seem a little alien to me, as I've played rugby for years ...

Rotovia-, you're trolling and admit it yourself.
Take a three day vacation.
