villa4europe Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 my mate supports the packers because he was stuck at an airport somewhere in america and they won the game that was on in the bar, first time he'd watched NFL and that ship in the buccaneers stadium looks awesome i do know a bloke who is a patriots fan "cos of England innit" but they definitely seemed like utd fans / rats this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I can't imagine watching a sport so dull that half time is what people look forward to. Edited February 4, 2019 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I just can't for my life accept it as a sport. Running around with an egg calling it football, while wearing a ton of protective gear. Not to mention they are all roided to feck. Then there's the absolute carneval of bullshit that surrounds it. Fake bullshit up there with WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always chose them on Madden because of that ship. Luckily the period I supported them and actually followed the NFL for a while was the period when they won the superbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 and me, its overtaken the PL, the whole thing is just a fairer more competitive system, perfect sunday night watching NFL playing football manager sending some strategic emails pretending to work people cant see past pads and fat men the pads are misunderstood, there isnt the technique in tackling that rugby has, these guys just smash each other, flip its on its head the pads are just to protect the player being hit they're also there so that the player doing the hitting doesnt need to give as much thought as to what they do, i think in general tackling is less skill but its just more outright violence than rugby and then the other side of the game is probably as skilful as any sport going, the majority of these guys if they weren't in the NFL would be sprinters, basketballers, baseballers, wrestlers, how many rugby players are turning down football or cricket to play rugby? not many 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to watch either, I'd go for rugby league which has the big tackles and without the booting the ball back and forth and no interminable failed scrums.

As soon as you give them helmets (which are necessary given how they tackle in NFL) then everyone needs pads. If you took one of those helmets at full speed to an unprotected chest or thigh or shoulder it would be **** agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wrestling is funny because it's by far, one of the most psychically demanding things a person can do, but because the outcome is pre-meditated, it can't be a sport. (WWE/F) that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
