Either that's a deliberate understatement, or you're just yanking my crank. They were ahead by 18 points, driving to add another touchdown, then the whole thing came crashing down.

I'm all about the deliberate understatements, except when talking about my sexual prowess :ph34r:

It's (almost) that time of year again. The Pats will face Tampa Bay in the first pre-season game.

Soccer and rugger, Manchester United in soccer, and Ospreys (Swansea/Neath) in rugby. Thank God the season is starting. :cheers:

I don't follow the rugby myself, I am more of a Rugby League fan and a football fan. I follow Liverpool in the EPL and I don't really have a team in the UK Super League, I just follow the progress of the Aussies playing over there... as I do in the Premier League

Where's the smilie that says blah blah,blah? If the only thing you know about the NFL is The New England Patriots, you know everything you'll ever need to know.

I wouldn't have a clue about anything to do with the NFL. It had a bit of a cult following here when I was in high school in the 90's, I used to watch the Superbowl but that's it.

What I find with America's major sports is that they go too long. A 48 minute game of football lasts half a day or more, so many stoppages and commercials, time outs, coach challenge's etc... I lose interest

Why do they wear all that body armour in your "football"? Rugby League (and Rugby Union) would kill them. The best part of your football is watching the Cheer leaders! :P

you mean you dont stop to smoke a joint during sex ? :crazydude: :P

its for longevity , I mean you take a guy that starts playing at age 12 and plays till hes 45-50 hed be dead if they didnt wear pads and such ..

I can smoke it without stoping :thumbup:

How do you explain guys that play league in Australia from ages 6 to 35?

It's all about safety. Those players are getting paid millions of dollars, nobody wants to see them get hurt. Plus, the average linebacker is probably 275 pounds and can run 40 yards in 11 seconds. These guys are huge, strong and when they hit somebody they hit really hard. Without protection, a football players career would be less that one whole game.

But would be more enjoyable to watch!If you play a contact game, then you shouldn,t be wrapped in cotton wool!

I beg to differ , I much rather watch them in there full coverage pads and uniforms then in there skimpy man shorts bumping and grinding other men , that's just not my cup of scrumpy . but to each there own . :drinkup:

Watching a game with no pads would suck. Do you really think some guy is going to tackle a 250lb running back, running full speed, without a helmet? Just think how hard that running backs knees would be if they slammed into the other guys' head. The would-be tackler would never put himself into that position. You'd probably enjoy motorcross more if the riders wore only speedos instead of full protection gear.

Watch bondi,s clip on rugby League, THATS tackling. You call Motor cross a contact sport? thats where protection IS needed. :cheers:

i would play without pads if a 275 lb guy ran a 40 in 11 seconds...lol....

most NFL players run 40's in anywhere from 4.3 to 5.5 seconds.........they would be playing baseball in they ran 11's.......

Aussie rules is where its at.....dont get me wrong i love the NFL for its purpose of entertainment...but those are some crazy bastards in Rugby.

Go Man U....how about that 9yo....signing with the big club...did tevez get signed yet?

My hat goes off to you... you know your football!!!

As a spectacle the NFL is great but I just grew up watching big men clash week in week out without padding. Sure some guys in Rugby League use pads but they are either rubber or a similar substance, not plastic and fibre glass.

The 9yr old you refer to is Rhain Davis. An Aussie despite those wicked brits claiming him as his own. Also, Man Utd HAS signed Carlos Tevez but he'll miss first few games through injury.

I'll post the Rhain Davis clip and the League Hits clip again below :thumbup:

Best Tackler in LEAGUE

Man Utd 9yr old - Rhain Davis

*sorry for the poor quality of the videos*

My son is playing football now , started 2 a day practice last week , he runs the 40 in 4.5 sec flat , AND hes only 14 and he does it while wearing full pads


Well anyway Im curious what the average salary is for a rugby player ?

NFL its about 2-4 million a yr or higher Id think , but dont find it published thus far


BEARS WIN , PATS LOST , CHIEFS LOST ..

Yes, but, Rhain has Welsh blood in his veins :) Man U. DROPPED 2 POINTS TO READING on saturday, criminal.!

I give props where props are due......Bondi knows his shit......I work in college sports here and have been a Physio at all different levels of athletics in the US......

Man U will be fine.........long season and they will be back to proper forma nd should run away with the EPL if they stay healthy....

Devin Hester is the man in Chicago huh? Its nice to see an old athlete of mine doing what I saw him do for years......he is a stud.
