BirdBoi 0 #1 April 24, 2006 Just wondering why they call it the "world" super bowl, and "world" Champions when noone else hardly plays it?? Same for Baseball too. Not having a go at the sprots at all.. i quite like baseball infact .. but just wondering why the equivilent sports Rugby and Cricket that are massivly played games arnt played that much there when they are such huge games in the rest of the world... and Visa Versa.

Icon134 0 #2 April 24, 2006 I think you've answered your own question... they're able to call them world champions because they are in fact the best in the world in their sport... Not that I'm arguing or anything... cause generally I don't watch sports... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean seriously the only time our "football" is in contact with a "foot" is on the kick off, punts, and field goal attempts. the rest of the time its being carried or thrown...

Confussed now.. lets call the real football football and the american one... rugby with pads. lmao And wats the difference between cricket and baseball players.. both play a slow dullish sport.. and yes the best player do deserve respect as the rest of us are shit at it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yarpos 4 #11 April 24, 2006 footy big? sure but only on one country...a lot like american football respect for cricket players? sure why not? skillfull game, generally entertaining in the one day form, high level of fitness required....far fewer barge arses running around than you see on a baseball diamondregards, Steve the older I get...the better I was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skykittykat 0 #12 April 24, 2006 Quotehigh level of fitness required.... Have you seen Shane Warne??? The Barmy Army always sing the classic "Who Ate All the Pies" at him. The superbowl is the equivalent of the FA Cup final in the UK, but the Yanks use the word "World" rather than "National". From the various superbowl parties I have attended, my comment that American Football is rugby for pussies hasn't gone down too well Liz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My cousin was in the rugby club at Reading university and one night they had a dare night and each group had to steal and bring back something. The first group went off and brought back a cow. My cousin's group (which he led) had to do one better..... They did. They went to the local boys boarding school, broke in and grabbed a sleeping boy (who was about 11 yrs old) and took him back to the club house. My cousin did return him before the school's wake up time the next morning. True story.

Jonah Lomu was my head prefect at school. While he was 18 the dallas cowboys offered him $10,000,000 US to play for them. He said no and become an ALL Black for $250,000 NZD because of pride playing for the all blacks. Come on people lets admit it, in america you wear pads so it sounds like harder tackles, what the fuck are the helmets for? American football really is just a game that has nothing over rugby. example, Jonah Lomu, running down a field at 100 meters in 10 seconds (fastest schoolboy in new zealand) weighing in at 250 pounds tackling you at that speed. Oh by the way, no helmets, no pads, just bone crunching tackles. Great game. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
