So....who's going to THIS?

A chance for you guys (and gals ) to watch some REAL football…

They tried to bring american football over here a good few years ago and it failed. I can`t see it working this time.

Let me know when they stop taking a break every five minutes and learn how to spell and pronounce defence…

Of course I’ll have a look, however as a favour in return see if you can catch up with some Six Nations Rugby starting in a couple of weeks…

Great bit of marketing by the NFL but…

…can’t see it working I’m afraid.

Some will want to watch - about as many who want to watch the Annual Squid Wrestling contests…

Having been a Chicago Bears fan since it started being shown over here in the 80’s will try and get some tickets. Would love to go to the Superbowl one day. But seeing it live in London will be the nearest I ever get to that I’m afraid.

Best Season since 88 for the bears as well this year so far, Thank god for channel 5 and Sky sports

Men in tights… its sooo wrong.

Please KS…that’s rugby for wimps!

When your boys can do the same stuff WITHOUT body armour then you can come over here and tell us what “football” is all about.

Oh God, here we go.

I remember being sat in the sports bar of the Toronto Sheraton (eating a damn fine burger BTW) as an English work colleague of mine espoused the brilliance of Rugby (sans armour) compared to those ‘wimps’ in American football. On the 42" plasma screen in front of us a gentleman was being removed from the field with a broken neck.

Now I know some muppet just got jailed for breaking a jaw in a football match but I don’t recall many broken necks in the news from the game of rugby.

Right I’m going to ride home with my armour firmly in tonight. Wimp that I am.

Poofta!

Don’t watch much rugby then do ya…
Happens all the time. Not so much at pro or televised levels, cos they’re trained how to hit properly and fit enough to survive the impact.

The reason the septics get broken necks is cos the armour makes them feel invincible, and there’s a coach on teh sideline screaming at them to give it 110% sweat and effort or the multi million dollar soft-drinks contract is gonna disappear…seeing as most the “muppets” that play rugby don’t think or live their lives in that kind of world, they hit as hard as they can, knowing its just “their bodies” hitting the opponent. This makes them THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES of what can and can’t be survived.

If you believe you’re invincible, you have no concept of danger. Hence broken necks.

Just re-read that press release and saw that the NFL wan’t to target the Canadians, Germans and Mexicans next.

Canadians?

Blimey they are half septic already - if they can’t convince them of the benefits and joys of American “Football” they have no chance with us Limeys…

Hmm, no, don’t watch much rugby, but then all the broken neck action appears to happen off the telly…

The “muppet” I referred to was a footballer (sorry, a soccer player ).

Wait a minute, if you hit ‘as hard as you can’, and you have no armour, surely there will be more broken necks? Rugby fields must be littered with the dead and dying?! It’s a veritable Rugby armageddon (like that scene on “Gone with the Wind”, lol).

Anyway, American football is more fun when you cut out the adverts using a video recorder. But then you miss the cheerleaders.

Previous demo games between NFL teams have attracted massive crowds at Wembley. I can’t see why this shouldn’t be the same.

Could be persuaded! Used to watch it a lot when Channel 4 first used to show it on TV over here, but i think it was mainly cos i developed a crush on Dan Marino . Its ok, ive matured and im all growed up now!

I’d go and watch an NFL game in London…I bet it would be a CRAZY atmosphere and wicked huge fun to boot.

What run for 7 seconds, stop, change team, oooh ad break, hold on. We’re back, oh wait we missed something really good, let’s see the replay, hold on, they ran for three seconds and fiftry blokes threw little yellow hankies on the pitch, now they’re talking about it, yup still talking about it…now some old dude’s holding his arse and talking to the whole stadium…now they’re all walking forward 10 yards, wait they’re lingin up, somethings about to happen, hold on, there’s a bloke runnning up and down the line, doesn’t he know where he’s supposed to be, OH hey they’re off, oh no wait they’re still where they were, nothing happened…hang on, more ads…and so on and on and on…

Hmmmmm

Are we talking about cricket, union or league? Or that Aussie one where they kick sh!t out of each other? I’m confusticated now.

Besides, not of them are a patch on my sports of choice to view - foxy boxing and mud wrestling. Now there’s a real man’s spectator sport! None of this “blokes running around after a leather parcel” rubbish.
