Belatucadrus Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 A real mans sport and the one and only football:Much as I love the NFL, did you have to chose the 2005 packers and Lions as your exemplar ? Both pretty dire.The thought of the average NFL offensive line player trying to play rugby is a hoot, no breaks, no defensive crew to give them a breather, the bus and his ilk would be blowing like beached whales after twenty minutes and stretchered off not long after. PS why is it called football, with the honourable exception of Doug Flutie, hardly anybody ever foots the ball ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 And what about so called baseball, All it is, is what girls used to play when I went to school. They Called it Rounders. Only high school girls play this English sport in the US. This is a picture of a British mens team. :lol: Talk about a bunch of pansies. ;)What a strange game of rounders!That's an Irish game of hurling I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I was watching a prog. on TV when I was suddenly struck by the question "If I had a ground breaking roadmap would I take it onboard or would I take a rain check? Or perhaps, if the rain check fell outside the cookie cutter or went down the wire, I would checkout the checkout and then checkout ? If I could only get a handle on it, it would make cherry picking a piece of cake. Failing that I could go for an ace in the hole shot, providing that I was hanging in there."

Belatucadrus Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Young girls are the only ones playing lacrosse in the US. :DUS LacrosseAlmost exclusively a male team sportThe Cherokees called the sport "the little brother of war" because it was considered excellent military training.Seems like the Young American Girls are likely to kick the arses bottoms of a bunch of American males, who presumably couldn't handle the lack of padding or a game without a beer break every ten minutes.Anybody for a game of Little sister of war ?General sports knowledge quiz score, UK 1 US 0. Just wait till we get on to British sports like Crucket or whatever it's called. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Which is why all sports played by men in the UK include uniforms of shorty shorts and a bunch of arse holding and hugging.. :lol: If they do not have sense enough to wear protective gear that is not my problem. What is the average age of a British rugby player who has lost his marbles..........21? :) But hey, I could really care less about who is tougher or which Country has the tougher sports............I was only trolling but it looks like I caught my limit. :rolleyes: ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 In spite of the lack of interest in gridiron in the UK, there are plenty of column inches in the Sunday papers today.Thos. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Not the best game ever and while I don't think the Seahawks played well enough to win, it'd have been a lot closer if the officials hadn't been playing for the Steelers, Holmgren and his crew were outnumbered. There may have been some major sporting event with worse officiating, but at the moment I can't think what it was.Perhaps the Olympic boxing when Tyrell Biggs got the decision over Francesco Damiani despite clearly loosing.

The Steelers were handed this one to them on a black and white striped platter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
