Apart from the Albion (and even then only out of loyalty rather than enjoyment at the moment!) I would rather watch almost any NFL game than a Premiershite game!

What's our REAL sport then? In footy nowadays one bloke goes down clutching his FACE having been caught by a stray FINGER on the CHEST from his opponent. In NFL they can get HIT the from the moment they catch a ball, even if its still in MID-AIR then piled on by another 10 blokes before just getting straight back up. Yes they wear a lot of padding but if they didn't they'd quite clearly all be paralysed or worse with the type of tackling that goes on!

As I said if you don't like it don't open the thread, you know what it's gonna be about!

Yankee football is stupid IMHO

its just like playing catch, with your older brother who is intent on trying to hurt you.

and the ball is ridiculously shaped.



not a great deal of skill involved,

legalised THUGGERY (as is egg chasing)

Have you ever tried throwing an American Football 50 yards?!?! There is a lot of skill in that game, and an amazing amount of tactics by the coach. One good play can win a game for you, which you may have lost otherwise.

Not a fan of watching it on TV, as it's on so late, but would be tempted to go to Wembley to watch it.

Yes i can throw an american football 50 yards,

its really NOT that hard

To a moving target, whilst you have 3 blokes all 250lb+ running towards you?

which begs the question....

why bother?

Why chase after an inflatable plastic container without using your hands and try to put it in a wood or metal and string construction a few yards away? What on earth is the point of that and who on earth would ever want to watch someone trying to?

 

[Grendel]

After watching about dozen games, I still don't understand how a "sport" with 4 periods of 15 minutes has matches that can take upwards of 3 hours to complete. Or the frankly ridiculous practice of making over 40 substitutions in a match.

Why bother kicking a small round ball (made of plastic) into an onion bag against 11 men?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge NFL fan, but don't think it right that you all sit here slagging off another countries national sport (or is that baseball for the septics) whilst you have no experience of the physical challenges they put up with.

Why bother running round a muddy field trying to kick a football into a net.

If thats what floats the yanks boat then good luck to them, although I think its just an excuse for them to go somewhere and eat more burgers and hot dogs.

I would rather they didn't bring it over here though cos it is indeed a pile of shit.
