Re: American Football
So the Navy Midshipmen gave Ohio State a good run today. Their QB damn near pulled off a 4th Quarter comback, but the Buckeyes put it away as expected. Now Ohio State will have to prepare for USC next weekend.
Michigan looked like Michigan again. Faster than ever, and dismantling Western Michigan they way a Wolverine team should. I honestly hope Rich Rodriguez can rehabilitate his team - after all, where would Ohio State football be without The Game against Michigan every November?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just don't respond. If you do respond by making some wankerish comment about not liking American football, let me just pre-empt you right now by saying fuck off, ya pansy.

I like football. And, I see no need to call it American football. It's just football.
Of course, I'm a Colts fan.

Re: American Football
Not what i said at all. I think our sport known as football was stupidly named, but it is named that. So, why should we call it something else? There can be two things with the same name.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:So a game that is played in one country, and hardly ever involves feet, should be called 'football', while the game that is played throughout the world has to rename itself to suit the wishes of the minority?FIO wrote:I like football.

Re: American Football
Easy now Ian i like soccer too!
The college football is interesting but i can't really get into it. Bowl games are interesting and i love it when an underdog college comes up and sticks it to the favorite the romance that is involved in college football i think is somewhat lost in the big league NFL.
oh btw.
Translation of Ian comments about michigan vs ohio state: Michigan and Ohio are two states in the mid-west they HATE each other and have done so since time in memorial.This hatred is most fervently manifested in the game Michigan vs Ohio State.
Only 6 days or so till the proper stuff NFL starts Go you jets and good luck to Mark Sanchez you're going to need it. Anyone else wish Brett Favre would fuck off and retire once and for all granted he lifted the jets to a 9-3 record but then failed miserably as his body packed up on him i hope the vikings don't make the same mistake have him a backup QB thats where i think he is best suited.
Oh and im looking forward to Viks vs Packers game in green bay it could be interesting. Not to mention the jets crushing the patriots i hate those cunts with a passion.

Re: American Football
I like the NFL too. Being from Connecticut, I'm grudgingly a Patriots fan. I say Grudgingly because their star QB, Tom Brady, played for Michigan. I'm an Ohio State alum.
I prefer the college game. Of course the pros are better players, but I don't think the fun is there as much.
Here's an excellent ESPN article I saw a couple years ago on 20 reasons why college football is better than the NFL: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/preview06 ... id=2549750
There's a companion article of 20 reasons why the NFL is better. But I agree with the first article.
Oh - and I despise the Dallas Cowboys. Passionately. They're the only team in all of sports that I genuinely hate, except Michigan during the third week of November. It's partly because I don't like Texas and Dallas is the epitome of all that is wrong with Texas, but mostly it's because of owner Jerry Jones and that whole "America's Team" horseshit.

Re: American Football
Sport has always been a mystery to me. Rather, the enthusiasm and devotion they elicit has always been a mystery. I could never get excited about them I find them tedious, dreadfully boring In fact, the only thing in this entire thread which sped up my heart rate was Geoff's shirt, featured in his avatar picture:

Didn't realise this thread had RULES! It is such a break with forum tradition that I am not sure it is actually legal. I will need to discuss this at length with the other staff to see if we can allow rules in just this one instance!
