Ah yes, why's that?

That statement is laughable at best. You can't possibly know the complexities of the game unless you've played it. And you obviously have not.
Explain away then. Be sure to explain why 40 people to a side is necessary, and why the game takes so bloody long, for so little activity, and why the cheerleaders are the most interesting part of the whole game, and why body armour is necessary, and be sure to highlight any elements of skill or complexity you feel would change my mind about gridiron being a boring game for big pussies...:p
Well why is rugby so great? It's basically just a bunch of unibrowed tough guys running around beating the s*** out of each other, except for the scrumms when they need a bit of sexual relief from each other. Looks to me more like WWF only stupider and with a ball...:rolleyes:Quote:

Hmmmm.... you make it sound alot like gridiron, 'cept we don't need armour to protect ourselves...:rolleyes:
And I'm still waiting on an explanation.
Of course I haven't played it - it's a stupid, boring game, and it just isn't very popular anywhere in the world except the US. I have struggled to watch a bit here and there though, thank god for free beer and box seats...:p
That's just 'cause you're all too stupid to realize you need it :p
Hmm...it seems Bonker Gudd is favored to win...well, $10 on Bonker, then!:D
Gridiron is a sissy game.... Why the hell do they need all that body amour to dance around the field yelling hike hike hike
If you want a real game come and watch a Rugby test match between NZ and Aussie or SA and either of those teams.
Now thats skill bone jarring tackles and high speed action without Timeouts.!!!!
Or England - Scotland in the Six Nations :D
Again I say that the only reason rugby players don't wear pads is because they are too dumb to realize that they need them.
Yeah that's another thing. Rugby is 80-100 minutes of non-stop action basically, save penalties and **** like that. WE don't need to sit down and have a bloody conference every time some bug twit drops a ball...:rolleyes:
How can you people make such boring sports (Baseball too) take so bloody long, with so little action, and then have the nerve to call it the World Series, or a tough game???
:confused:
No, it's because we train properly, and aren;'t such a bunch of pussies that we need extra protection...:rolleyes:Quote:

Keep harping on about gridiron being so challenging, and then tell us we're 'dumb' for not wearing body armour...pffft....:rolleyes:
Perhaps it's because they lack the mental capacity to do so.Quote:

People get broken limbs on a regular basis, black eyes nearly every game, bleeding everywhere, so how can you say you don't need extra protection?Quote:

Explanation of the rules (not making this up !)
Well bugger me, never thought of that ! :DQuote:
Rule 1 : The team scoring the most points wins the game. The match is considered drawn if points are equal.
Rule 2 :
...
Er...actually it's because Rugby players ain't afraid of getting a broken nail like the grid iron girlies;)Quote:

Hey Matt Rogers got a broken nose in the final of the Brisbane sevens...teach him to play in a team that beats the ABs:rolleyes:
Grid Iron has to be the most non-sensical game in world sport. Get the ball, run a few metres,(er yards for the seppos) , get tackled, then spend ten minutes arsing about setting up the next play. Went with LA Dave to see the LA Rams(?) play, ****e it was boring, all this mummy boys running around trying to look like sportsman....geez the swans cheerleaders could take em out.
And as for the flag being through in, first time l saw it l figured one of the defensive guys must have got a run in his pantyhose and was calling for a replacement;)
goudabuddha,
Rugby players dont need a conference becuase the team capitain and the first 5 8th Thats a position not the amont of teams. Have the skill and experience to direct the play as it happens. They can actually think on their feet.
and as far as injurys go. You should see some of the damage that these guys come off the field with. But they still dont whine when someone gets a black eye or stubs their toe. These guys play harder for longer without body armour think on their feet without stopping play for a commitee meeting. Also i feel that rugby is a hell of a lot more tactical in nature than gridiron is.
Maybe you should actually watch a first class rugby game right through before you carry on critiqueing the game!!
Too bad I have watched rugby games all the way through on more than one occasion, but I fail to see anything in it past a bunch of bohemoths running around and trying to kill the guy with the ball except for the occasional smart one who kicks it away before someone snaps his arm in half.
If it's gone to the point where we are insulting each others countries' sports, it's gone too far.
It's only a game..and the players in both "Gridiron" and rugby could take us out anyday ;)
Isn't it on right now ? They're about to start prancing about err ... the game (sorry), aren't they ? :D
Yeah they are but I don't really care who wins either way so I'm just not gonna watch
Lets see goudabuddha, on the one hand you're proclaiming gridiron as a challenging game, yet you think rugby players are dumb for not wearing extra body armour, and stupid 'cause we don't need 10 minutes to plan every movement of the ball....?
Pffft... typical ignorant hypocrisy. Gridiron is a ***** game, with far less spontaneous thinking involved than rugby, let alone any other version of football, and none of your arguments make any sense at all, let alone follow the same train of 'thought'...:rolleyes:
'k I think this is gettin' a bit silly
It's not the living American's fault they have this game, but there is a good reason why US-inspired games are more of less only followed by US citizens and nobody else.
ok whatever, think what you want and ill think what i want
Actuallty speaking of silly sports.
AFL have annouced an International series, including a NZ team:confused: Sorry folks but they don't actually play the sport in NZ:confused:
'Cause everyone else has better versions. :pQuote:

Gridiron ----> Rugby
Baseball ----> Cricket
I've watched both of those games, baseball at Olympic level, and god they are boooorrrriinng....
it's a ****ing joke have them in the olymics, can anyone say "Guaranteed US gold medal"????????????Quote:

I think Morris Dancing and Scone eating whould become olympic sports :rolleyes:
Not only do we not play it Jethro most kiwis think its an amuseing joke. You know kinda like those carnival freaks
Step right up and see those crazy aussies play AFL where they threw the rule book out the window while playing rugby on a cricket pitch one day.
Honestly i reckon that game started over an arguement at the MCG one day between The Australian Rugby Union and the Cricket chappies. The all started this punch up and some amused Kiwi tossed in a rugby ball. They all liked it so much it became the national sport :D
Can we have ONE thread related to something American that does NOT turn into an anti-American debate? :rolleyes:
Thread crappers attack again...
Aha Chris, speaking of OZ not beating England in other sports, what about the Club League final........er what doya mean....................Bradford won ok moving along to the cricket:eek:Quote:

But your opinion doesn't count, since (I assume) you don't play sport. :p
And anyway, we're abusing gridiron as a sport, it only appears as seppo-bashing 'cause no-one else plays it...:rolleyes: :D
and Chris, I'm not positive, but I don't think the US won Gold at Sydney, and it's certainly not guaranteed - Japan and Cuba have won a few - they are big players at Olympic level.
But my god, I've never watched anything so slow and boring in my life... you'd think at Olympic level they'd make it interesting...but nooooooo.:rolleyes:
It's the basketball where the US always gets gold - we only have that to see who gets Silver and Bronze - Australia, Lithuania are up there in that one. :p No-one cares much about the gold in basketball, we just watch it for the runners-ups, since the US send over a ****ty team and still flog everyone. :p
How can you assume something such as that?Quote:

It's still thread crapping. If this were a thread about Visual Basic, and I proceeded to discuss how C++ was better, it would be thread crapping.
Just like on [H]ardOCP-- whenever someone asks about buying an Intel system, rest assured there will be 5 people saying "AMD rules!". (I usually refrain from thread crapping even if I agree with the crappers...)
Nuff said.
Do you play any sport?
maybe teh person is thinking of buying the new supercool Intel Septium 1Thz with 1Gb of fullspeed ondie cache?! Could be.Quote:

Actually, not really that much :pQuote:

Although I'm doing track and cross-country running, which is definitely a sport and requires lots of endurance/practice, etc...even if it doesn't involve a ball or a stick...
Occasionally I play a little basketball (1 on 1) for fun...
That's about it though, I am not even really a football fan (I only keep the Super Bowl on for the commercials) but that doesn't really justify thread crapping.
Regardless of whether this thread is about American or Australian sports or anything else, it's not very nice.
;)
I think if Intel put out one of those for a cheap price I would be converted! :DQuote:

I could just run software rendering on all my games and get 100,000 in 3dmark :p
