I've never got Football. Now it all makes sense. I think it makes sense. No still makes no sense whatsoever. That guy is funny. Give me a good game of rugby any day. Now that's a real man's game. ;D

It's strange I feel sick when you say this. The mighty All Blacks rugby team are the greatest in the world. American football players need padding and helmets not rugby players who are brave tough men. It makes me swell up with pride just thinking about it.

Thank you "Shorty",
Hilarity at it best. Angain the foot, ball vs. Hand, egg thing is a very complicated subject and myself prefer world cup futbol to all of it anymore!

I've gotten some of the best naps after nodding off to football.

I'll be betting on the Ravens since I'm from Maryland.

But now I live in California so if the 49ers win (which they most likely won't because when you add those two numbers you get 13 and 13 is an unlucky number), I'll give thanks for a really good nap.  :)

True about the pads, Patric.
However, I have heard from some older players that the older teams were made up of Farm Boys who wrestled hay bales and cattle before high school or college. Apparently the training coach had to give workouts to loosen them up rather than to build muscle which came naturally.

Just wondering, Indiana Bob
