You believe gaelic football and handball to be better than US football

Oh and stop being such a typical brit.

the reason is that americans, past maybe highschool, dont really give a fuck about soccer. or rugby or handball(lol), or any of that other crap.

football is an american thing. u wouldnt get it.

the only time we care about anything other than baseball, basketball or football, is during the olympics. which we will own in Torrino!!

archie, stfu about gaelic football.

I like to watch football because I find it rather entertaining and well, it's more fun when your team wins 3 superbowls in four years. I don't like basketball because it's too back and forth constantly. I really like to watch and play soccer, and I'm sure plenty of you people think I'm a crazy conspiracy theoryist, but I think that the reason why soccer hasn't caught on in america because of 2 45 minute halves, there simply isn't any time for advertisements. When does it cost the most to run an ad? That's right, during the superbowl. And with soccer we really would have only one big ad oppurtunity. Also, another thing is that it is relatively low scoring. People look at that as boring, but really you can have plenty of excitement without many goals. It makes it so much more worth it when your time does get a goal. </wall of text>

Football is a uniquely American sport. Athleticism, hard hits, weird points, brutality, agility, all that is wrapped up in a package that is uniquely American. If I were to pick a sport that represents "America" as a whole, it would definitely be American Football.

The Super Bowl is the single biggest sporting event in America. Nothing else rivals it for a single game. There are other sports "times" in America, like March Madness for college basketball, bowl season for college football, the World Series for pro Baseball and the NBA Finals.

But for single game intensity, nothing in any other sport in America rivals the superbowl.

No,

Rugby = Mortal Kombat

It's so much more hardcore, I don't care how muscular (and/or fat) the players of American football are.

Rugby is really fucking intense. It's like football, except much much tougher, and no pads. I mean any game where players regulary lift each other up to get an advantage, or engage in scrums is intense. And hurling falls close behind it in terms of intensity.

I hate scrums, they always collapse and you end up with your face in the mud. This is when we play in PE, with all the non athletic kids just walking around getting fat.

The Bucs, only cos I`m from near Tampa.

Well, I'll talk to you guys later. I gotta drive down to Mashpee and hang HD for treason.

Archie, that's why I always make sure I push off the other people who make it collapse to stand up.

Archie if thats how you feel then start playing tag rugby.


As for the comments I can understand the point and I have to say what MESS said was probably correct about the advertisements thing. I wasnt trying to be rude just get an answer.

Are you european?

Out of all the USA sports i most like basketball as it has more continous play compared to other sports...just incase you where wondering.

Yep. Middle Europe, Hungary. And I love basketball too since I was a kid.

I don't know much about American Football. The reason I posted was everytime my favourite sport, football, is written as soccer my blood pressure goes up a little bit...
It's understandable since most of you guys are american, I just have to get used to it that's all.



In almost every sport the rules are pretty simple and the goal itself too(throw, kick or hit the ball where you have to...), so saying something like that is...mindless.



It's sad cos in '94 you arrenged the best Football World Cup I've seen (5 so far).

booyah.

EDITO: That game was fucking awesome. I mean, there were so many great plays for the pats. Interception for td... and the amazing run down the line for another td. It was a nice game to relax while watching the last half, I'm afraid we won't have that anymore till next season.

Of course, I don't think this game proved who the better team was. I agree they didn't give Texas much credit, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that Texas has been known to be big chokers in recent years. If you really think about it, it took a record-setting performance on the highest of levels just for Texas to beat USC in the last seconds. I mean, VY with 250 and 200... anything less than that and Texas loses. Then there was the touchdown that shouldn't have counted when VY's knee was clearly down before he lateralled it (it's not to say they wouldn't have scored anyway, but maybe they would have only gotten a field goal out of it, you never know). The point is, Texas won in the only game that mattered, but as Lienart said after the game, USC is still probably the better team. Football is so much tougher to judge than the other sports because there's only one game to decide it all. USC had one its worst games of the last 3 years and still probably should have won.

So, congratulations Texas on winning the national championship and going udefeated... you're still not the better team.
