What the hell is the idea with this 'game'?
Mr. Ninestonehomaphrodite runs away from big black guy with even blacker marks under his eyes because he might break a nail on his helmet?! Most of the guys who run away aren't even holding a ball!
I think there is 3 divisions... West East and Central, I mean what is it? "Us West-siders don't like the way the East-siders look at us so we play with ourselves!"?
These mickey mouse idiots... they don't even go for tackles! The ref has to interveen before they hit incase one of them gets a little headache!
The whole game is stupid... I've tried to give it a change, because sport is a good thing... but no sooner would I class this a sport than I would lawn-darts!
They don't even have to touch the ball down... they just have to run... it's like 'Bulldog' with a ball! Stupid! Football is an art... Rugby is cool, Pool is a laugh, and Golf is much fun, but American Football is a joke!
And what's this... Soup-Bowl XXVIII? I mean we have The 6 nations... it sounds cool and they have the Soup Bowl?
This sport must rank among the worst ever made... it's just a babies version of running rugby! I'm not surprised they need cheer-leaders to attract crowds!
American Football.... Bah!

We'll be ok as long as the other team looses.
I know you was comparing them through wages and stuff, but I was thinking of them compared mentally ;-))
Anyway, hopefully this weekend we can celebrate our World Cup qualification ;-) We'll be ok as long as Stevie Gerrard's playing ;-)

Sorry, Benenden's Private school is the Ladie's version of Eton, where all the princes go :)
+ the reason why I compared beckham to an 'Oxford UNI' teacher was because D backham, being the excellent football player he is, doesn't have a use for that money? if he loves that sport so much why is he being paid it? you might think he's worth it, but how can you put such a big price on someone's skills? I don't think so, anyway football is hardly the cure for Cancer, is ManU didn't have it's fan's devotion D Backham wouldn't be paid so much, he'd be better off working for a fish and chip shop down the road, whereas Oxford UNI teachers are trying to make cures for cancer and don't get paid anywhere near the amount, and if they did it would go into reasearch as thats what they love doing, if they didn't, then why are they there?

you'd find it hard to believe but after my trip today I would have though the same......
I went to Benenden's private 'ladies' school and saw two ferrari's, 5 Lexus's and the rest were Mercedes parked in the 'Staff' 'car park' they had their own security bloke letting the people into the carpark! + the girls we were filming (legally) had their own houses in London! it wouldn't have been so bad if the Huntchback of nostrodame was better looking but these girls had natural beuty! how can so many people in such a small place be so well off!?

they have a lot of set plays don't they .
Thing is with American Football, its more tactical than Rugby. Its messing around with all the tactics that cause the breaks inbetween. I like American Football as kind of a hobby sport. Like a lot of people in this country (and around Europe), I can't think of my football club as a hobby, its more like life ! Liverpool's results tend to really affect my mood and its the same with a lot of supporters, whereas with American football I like it as a hobby sport, if my teams I like win (Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins), then its nice to watch and cheer them on, if they lose, no big deal.
I used to always show an interest in American football since I was quite young, but never understood it. Thanks to my girlfriend and her brothers I'm pretty much up to scratch with my knowledge of how it all works now ;-)
It does get annoying when a game seems to last forever cause of the damn adverts inbetween ! God the yanks love to throw adverts inbetween every possible thing ;-))
At least I can play American football videogames now ;-) I remember me and my friend would get a game and try to work it out as best we could. The comp would be thrashing us like 70-0 and then through complete fluke we'd get a touchdown ! We would be like shouting in celebration so much you woulda thought we'd won the match ! ;-))
Like i said though its a nice change for me personally cause with football I want my club to win like its life or death. But American football is like my little hobby which I can enjoy without coming close to heart attacks. I like to support my 2 Florida teams and buy things to do with them while I'm in the U.S. I have shirts, American footballs, caps, etc. Its just nice to collect it and stuff :-)
