Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 15, 2002 I remember that there is a german playing in one of the teams. His name is Nöten or someting, he either plays for the Rams or the Steelers. I remember last years Superball, and I think those two teams were actually playing against each other, werent they (was that the final?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravens spanked New York around... I'm sure we can all agree to disagree. I don't like soccer and you don't like American Football....ok...fine.... Since my Miami Dolphins got sent packing per usual, I'm goin' for the Steelers or Raiders.....hope the Steelers spank the Ravens like they spanked teh Dolphins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brentk 1 Posted January 15, 2002 THIS JUST IN FROM BRITTISH INTELIGENCE: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TO BE CALLED "SOCCER" OR "KICK BALL" ALL AMERICAN NAMES REMAIN UNCHANGED hmmmm i hate to come to this fact... but... Considering that we beat you guys (Brittain -typo??) back in 1776 and then again in 1812, i was thinking we deserve to chose which gets the prized title of "Football". And as for the French and the rest of Europe, we helped defeat Nazi Germany and all that good stuff. SO Damnit let us choose!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 15, 2002 thats the guy, Nutten is his name! I have to admit that I consider Rugby to be more of a "man's sport" (oh dont kill me for that statement ), less show, less chix, less money, less colorful but more cracking bones. (yes I ve played rugby, not for long, but I had to--- damm irish boarding schools) . But of course I like american football, because it is not especially a sport for the Extra-strong but for the fast and the smart (cause it is a strategic game indeed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingBeast 0 Posted January 15, 2002 Brent that post was rather provocative. Especially considering you typed it in ENGLISH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 15, 2002 There's always this debate about which is the tougher of the two sports, they say things like "American Footballers are soft cos they need all that padding", IMO American Football is a far tougher sport, and the padding/protection is necessary, often during the game a player will be tackled at such speed that he will turn a somersault and land on his back or head etc. IIRC American Football was banned around the turn of the century as too many players were breaking their necks? I may be completely wrong about that, it's just some useless info I seem to recall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brentk 1 Posted January 15, 2002 Looks can be decieving my Kingbeast friend. First it was in American, English is only a small break away part of the American language. Makes no sense you say? Well, I agree. BUTtttttttttt, I could say that I am speaking in a language dervided by the Anglo Saxon people, which the English STOLE. And did I mention that we defeated the ENGLISH, TWICE, and 'bailed' them out TWICE? So, somewhere in that process we, the superior nation of the 2, took 'your' language and made it our own.

It was legal (or rather no rule against it).... Course now they are coming up with more and more rules and pretty soon it will be illegal to tackle ANYONE....

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted January 15, 2002 I am sure there is a good reason for the protection, and whoever sais they are chicken because they need it should dare to this into the face of one of these monsters (players). Anyway, that was not the reason why I called it" less of a mans sport". I always liked the special "things" about rugby: the mud-faces, the New-Zealand dance, the gum shields flying, the bloody noses... the game constalations and (regret to say it) the perfect undisturbed game flow. ( I am not gay, but who needs those purple,dancing, shouting, barby-chicken (cheer-leaders) near the football field ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brentk 1 Posted January 15, 2002 yeah well that 'padding' as you call it provides the players with a chance to play again the next week. I mean think about this... who's the smart one(s) here? the ones who use padding to prevent injury and prolong thier career.. or the guys who dont use it and are more prone to injury hmmmmmmm not a hard decision to make there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
