American Real Football- Not just soccer players can catch air and run


Recommended Posts

I think so. Great commercial, btw. But we have to be nice to the European folks who like soccer on this board. While it is something to entertain kids under 10 and the cleaning lady in the US, they take it seriously. AS a wise man once said, there is no accounting for taste.

Sorry but why do Americans call it "Football" when the foot very rarely ever touches the ball and even when it does it requires a specialist kicker!!! :clueless

Why do you call cricket "cricket" when there are no crickets anywhere in the game?

 

Where are the rugs in "rugby"?

If you're English, your lot also initially called the game "soccer" before it was imported to the USA.

 

This silly word game crops up every time the word football is used for American football, always started with the same silly question as put by TheFiend this time.

 

Explain to me where the crickets are in your other game, and I might be interested in playing along.

 

Otherwise, get used to the use of the American terms when we use them, rather than getting your panties in a bunch and going off on the same tangent every time...as if you haven't got some strangely named sports as well.

BTW, to the OP, I was amazed at Bam Bam Kam's defensive leap over the line when the Broncos were trying to KICK (using the FOOT) the field goal..twice!

Not as amazed as Kam was to learn the opponent was the Broncons rather than the Panthers.

I'm all ragged out from watching two games in the wee hours this morning.

 

Yeah, the Panthers...duh.

I think everyone was amazed. Seattle likes to hit hard and wear down the opposition. That is their secret to success. Kam taught them that he is on a different athletic level than his opponents. Air Kam definitely rocked their boat. Now on to sending Green Bay packing then its Super Bowl time.

Err, comes from the name of a school.

Backgammon was originally played on a side of bacon.

Hi,

 

A link.Rugby school is the association. It's a public school and rugby is a rich mans sport in most countries. Wales is an exception, mainly it was played by miners there in the past. Top players are pros now.
