So if a sport isn't completely physical than it's a girl's sport? Whatever... And if baseball is such a girl's sport than I would LOVE to see her up in the batter's box facing Randy Johnson or Clemens. She would pee her pants after the first pitch blew a few inches past her skull...
haha, we can just line up all nfl players on one side without pads and rugby players on the other side. then they can send everyone up one by one, and they tackle to the DEATH. last one standing wins.
Hey now there. That wasn't the brits, that was the Canadians, eh? Don't be giving them hosers credit for what we did. The War of 1812 Oh, come back, proud Canadians To before you had TV, No hockey night in Canada, There was no CBC (Oh, my God!). In 1812, Madison was mad, He was the president, you know He thought he’d tell the British where they ought to go He thought he’d invade Canada, He thought that he was tough Instead we went to Washington.... And burned down all his stuff! And the White House burned, burned, burned, And we’re the one’s that did it! It burned, burned, burned, While the president ran and cried. It burned, burned, burned, And things were very historical. And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies Waa waa waah! In the War of 1812! Us hillbillies from Kentucky, Dressed in green and red, Left home to fight in Canada, But they returned home dead It’s the only war the Yankees lost, except for Vietnam And also the Alamo... and the Bay of... ham. The loser was America, The winner was ourselves, So join right in and gloat about the War of 1812 And the White House burned, burned, burned, And we’re the one’s that did it! It burned, burned, burned, While the president ran and cried. It burned, burned, burned, And things were very historical. And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies Waa waa waah! In the War of 1812! In 1812, we were just sittin’ around, Mindin’ our own business, puttin’ crops into the ground. We heard the soldiers coming and we didn’t like that sound. So we took a boat to Washington and burned it to the ground. Oh... we... fired our guns, but the Yankees kept-a coming, There wasn’t quite as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more and the Yankees started running, Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, oh, oh.... They ran through the snow and they ran through the forest, They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn’t go. They ran so fast, they forgot to take their culture, Back to America, and Gulf and Texaco So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice, Bring a pack of matches, and we’ll burn the White House twice! And the White House burned, burned, burned, But the Americans won’t admit it It burned, burned, burned, It burned and burned and burned It burned, burned, burned, Now, I bet that made them mad And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies Waa waa waah! In the War of 1812!
I don't agree with Kate, because Football is definately a man's sport, but she does have a point when you compare it to Rugby. Rugby and Football are completely different sports. And I wouldn't count out an international or even a national Australia or New Zeland all-star Rugby team vs a pro-bowl team. These guys are hard core crazy, and broken bones are common on a game to game basis. Granted, the only sports I've played were amature leagues, but the hardest I've ever been hit was when I played rugby.
I wouldn't be crowing about that now especially since there still is an invasion plan on the books. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=106670&z=1 Well I guess Canada is pretty much a cold Mexico with bad food.
haha...case and point...actually the main difference is americans are even more obnoxious when talking trash about soccer.
Thats great, take off the pads, make him play 10 minutes of League and then see what he's running. In Rugby League a game is played over two halves of 40 minutes each. Some players stay on the field for the who 80 minutes. At the very least a player will be asked to be on the field for 20 minutes and interchanged just as he is getting tired. These are usualy the biggest players, the prop forwards that get interchanged after 20 minutes and they come back into the game for a few stints depending on their fitness. There are stoppages in the game for penalties and certain game situations. For the most part though League is constant game play. Rugby Union is VERY different. Alot of stappages, let game time...and you tend to find a lower quality of athlete (By some way) because thats all that game demands. Look, I watch both sports, Im more of a Rugby League fans thats for sure, but I love watching the NFL. The fact is, on pure athleticism, you could take a League or NFL player and you have two great athletes, both of which are shaped and trained towards what their own sport demands. There is a reason why you wouldnt find a MASSIVE League player. League players need speed, mobility and strength that they can use from between 20 and 80 minutes, non stop, on the field. In the NFL you need speed and explosivness. You can get guys to bulk up to ridiculous levels because he only needs to do his job for at most 15 seconds at a time. Its just different demands for different sports. As for the padding....it lets NFL players have a much bigger comfort zone in attack and defense. Thats about it.
It may suck in your eyes, but it is still the greatest and by far the most popular sport in the world.
