Why Do Foreigners Say NFL Football Is Gay?

[Busyman]

:unsure:

[twisterX]

cause it is. I dont see the point to get the ball over there and being tackled and shit like that.

You have to stop like every 20 seconds for another play. Its just so gay.

[Snee]

Mostly to take the piss, I think.

It's a bit like rugby, tho', but with protection.


So maybe it's gay 'cos they've got helmets n' stuff, which would make them wusses compared to rugby players, from a certain type of person's point of view :unsure:

Or it's the toit pants.



I dunno', not interested in the game anyhow.

[Biggles]

It is a tad dull - at least the TV version with Lord knows how many breaks is. The live Saturday version presumably has more continuous action and plays like a real game. (The version we never see)

SnnY is right, it's to take the pish. Merkins are so protective about their sports that no-one else plays and it's fun to watch them react.

Actually, I quite enjoy watching it - not live, obviousement - but the highlight shows are pretty good and the whole Superbowl competition format is exciting.

I like American Football. I have gone to watch the Gridiron live on several occasions, albeit only the NFL Europe. I saw the Claymores several times the year they won the World (Europe) Bowl.

I used to like it a lot and watched it on telly whenever it was on. I had a Superbowl party every year, with the drinking of buds and the eating of cheeseburgers and hotdogs.

I just don't watch it as much now.

That's the same way some Americans feel about Baseball. It sucks during the regular season but they watch the playoffs.

Even American's don't actually like the stops and starts but I do realize that NFL has to have it to set up plays. To watch a play like a counter tray, or HB option being pulled off is just amazing.

America is so large that I guess whether other countries play it probably doesn't matter alot.

What's the "live Saturday version"?

Also tell me, does cricket have breaks?

Does a person watching soccer ever get up to do something else while the game is on?

When me and wifey hit a commerical during football, that's our chance to take a piss, get food or drink, or whateverfuck without missing any action.

[Cheese]

Yes.

If someone gets up to take a piss then a goal will be scored. It's like a law of nature or something. My weak bladder has helped many a team to victory.

I meant just ordinary local matches.

Cricket obviously breaks for lunch, afternoon tea and evening meals. It would be a bit harsh to make them play the 30 hours non stop :lol:

Football and Rugby have half time and that is the time to go to the loo or get more beer. The rest is played straight through unless there is a serious injury and they have to cart someone off.

I was watching my Redskins play Tampa Bay and went to take a piss and the game came back on and we got an interception. :dog: Run-On :dog:

In football almost a certainty - in Rugby rarely - too busy trying to punch the other guys lights out.

Ehhh that depends on whether he's a fat-fuck linebacker or a super fast one like Simeon Rice from Tampa Bay.

NFL is about speed AND size.

The Redskins happen to have a free safety named Sean Taylor (the spitter) who is 250+ lbs.

I think what you are referring to when you say fit is endurance.

In the NFL you have to basically sprint your hardest for that play.

NFL is about speed AND size.Tho' fitness isn't necessary.

You put any linebacker in a game of rugby at, say, flanker, and he would be absolutely fecked after about fifteen minutes. They're not used to constant running and simply haven't been trained to the level of fitness needed to play rugby.

Put any top level flanker as linebacker in a game of American football and he would hardly break sweat.

That is undisputable.

Take a look at my edit. You were posting at the same time.

That top level flanker will probably get ran over though.:happy:

[manker]

Oh yeah :lol:

Don't reckon the flanker would get run over - his mobility and tackling skills would pwn a fat bloke. Google a pic of Lawrence Dallaglio, he's a right big, fit horrible bar-steward of a back row forward.

He is also a git but you did ask specifically for an English linebacker. The Welsh back row would, obviously, steamroll the whole NFL - with or without English rugby players in their ranks :snooty:

All our linebackers aren't fat fucks though. Some of them like the center have to be big fat fucks.

An example would be the defensive line. They have to be mobile and fast 'cause they're going after the QB. The offensive line need not be fast at all. They don't have to run after anyone; just protect the QB.

This is partly why interception are very dangerous. Offense has to suddenly become defense and they are out of their roles, so to speak.

Who's that new Englander player with the neck that's about 18 inches (diameter). Can bench press an average American, you know the lad.

[manker]

Andrew Sheridan, but he's a prop. Also a git, obviousement.

Gethin Jenkins kept him out of the Lions team :snooty:

Thanks for that.

Do you think either would be fit enough to run three or four yards, have a (minimum) 30 seconds break and then do it again. Doing that for roughly half of a game, lasting 1 hour.

I might be with Busboy on this one.

[manker]

I can see your thinking :schnauz:

Since no real brains are required, just strength and speed, I'd like to see wrastlers in t'NFL. Then we'd see some tough tackling.

Also, it might add a bit of razzamatazz to American Football.

American sport as a whole just doesn't have enough razzamatazz :smilie4:

That's why we got our asses kicked in the Olympics by like every foreign country at basketball. That and whoever picked the team forgot to put jump shooters on the roster.

We had razzamatazz but they won.:ermm:

Should have been a turnover on principle alone, just to make a football point.

That overhead shot showing the guy track him down all the way from the line of scrimmage was quality. He almost bagged a Zebra on the way, as well.

On the live shot, he came from absolutely out of nowhere, even the accompanying blockers didn't see him.
