Yeah, I was wondering how many posts in before someone would declare rugby the superior sport to american football.

which it clearly isn't.

Screw that Jake D. dude... not bitter or anything, I just don't think he's all that. I LIKE AARON BROOKS better. But neither one of those guys is a Brett Favre, Donovan Mcnabb, or a Dante Cullpepper.

Poor old Shaun King out there stinking it up in Tempe I was hoping he would shine while replacing that Josh McGowen dude. If he's still throwing by time they get to play us.... I hope they beat us. (Arizon vs Tampa)

Sychronised Diving.

It's a bit like sychronised swimming, but somehow less macho.

American Football is rugby for wimps.

yeah, and rugby is american football for talentless grunts with no physical grace.

Eeep. Much testosterone is around here.

(And, heh, rugby is so much better than American football. Why do you need all that padding? Seriously, just deal with it. Wimps.)

For what it's worth, almost all contact in American football is illegal in rugby, because it's too dangerous without all the padding.

1. The curling bit was a joke. That's probably the worst 'sport' ever created.

2. Brett Favre is overrated.

3. While watching rugby doesn't really interest me, I do have some fun watching Australian Rules Football, if only for the guy in the white tuxedo who points at the goal. That would be the best job ever.

Damn skippy. No sane person would without alcohol being involved.

Now bullriding - that's the sport for me!

yea... jake is pretty amazing... i've never seen somebody make so many passes while gettin' sacked... O_o... sucks our offense isn't as good as the defense
but he deffinately is one of the few reasons right now we aren't sucking as bad as we should
since we've lost most of our starters to injuries

Extreme Ironing beats every other 'sport' into a cocked hat.
Invented by a Brit and taken up by Germans big time. This will soon become the Sport.

I've been known to be wrong.

Or a ruck. Un-official version of the above. Player with ball gets leaped upon. As long as the ruck doesn't collapse the ball is in play until it comes out or gets decided by the referee that it's not coming out.

Yep, I hate rugby.

There is nothing more sensual that taking your head and placing it between the buttocks of two close friends and squeezing. Now, I'm not a pooftah or anything (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I suggest that you all try it. (I also suggest that you select some very close friends to do it with)

Rugby is more than a sport. It is a means by which we men may communicate with God.

depends which head you're talking about.

No, you see, the way I see it, rugby isn't a sport at all. I used to play it, broke someone's leg, and vowed never to go near it again, so I'm biased.

What's interesting is the way Rugby is a middle-class pasttime that is fast becoming a working-class sport (in audience demographics in the UK at least) whereas football (soccer) is a working-class pasttime that has become a middle-class sport. It must be a money thing.

However as everybody knows 'soccer' is the true quasi-religious experience. unless like AUS and USA national teams, you're not very good at it.

The one you think with. Um, I mean the one that controls your destiny. Er. The one you get to use most often.

Oh I know! The one people admire when they look at you.

That's just silly.

There is a lot of choice names I'd like to call Jonny Wilkinson - but talentless grunt wouldn't be one of them.

The most positive thing I can say about American Football, is that it is a much better game than Australian Rules Football. Aussie Rules is the stupidist game on the face ot the earth (not counting basketball, of course)

I'm actually inclined to agree with that. I don't understand soccer very well - but as far as team sports go - I think it does have a lot going for it
