    I jest! I jest! :joker I could joke endlessly about steroid use and all-around misbehavior by American football players.

    I will say this... though I believe that American football players would stomp a hole in "soccer" players, "soccer" fans would put the hurt on American football fans! You guys are brutal! :ohmy

    My oldest son played soccer for a year and I helped coach. He really didn't get into it. He watches American football, but he hasn't played. He's small for his age, so he won't likely ever play it. He's played baseball for the past 5 years, but I think this year is his last, giving it up in favor of competitive swimming. My youngest gave up baseball midway through his second season.

    EDIT: Soccer players could probably beat up baseball players. Just sayin'. :D

    You could always take it back yourselves, if you want...

    ...but you'd probably need our help. :usa

    heehee! :p

    Good video, shows an ugly side to the sport. Thankfully, I didn't see my team in that video. Non-league footy - now theres a rough old game. So much more entertaining.

    Ohhhhh - but think of the kudos if you don't finish bottom. Think of the grief you can dish out to anyone who finishes below you!

    Ah, now you be talking my language.

    Having played both, in what is generally deemed to be either a lazy or a mildly insane position (goalie) I can safely say that I got injured more in football. The amount of padding in hockey notwithstanding, the worst that ever happened was I had to do the splits once to save a shot. THAT surprised me a little. The rest of the time, I was generally the one doing the injuring...

    Football, however... whilst the injury list is nowhere NEAR as bad as Zeb's list, the last injury I got was whiplash. Playing footy. Yep. Go figure.

    I know. You like ice hockey, you support the Pens. I have never played ice hockey, but my school (standard) hockey team spent 5 years battering other teams in the area.

    Have you ever SEEN a pitch full of teenage girls with long wooden sticks running around taking the frustration of double Latin next out on other people's shins?

    ...um... dude... those American football dudes are NOT running into each other. :biggrin Oh, man, that's classic. :D

    So they can kick a ball into a goal. Whee! :p

    If I want goals and skills and saves, I'll take in a much more physical sport... like hockey. 8)

    Those are pretty funny! :) Course, you can find bloopers like that in almost every sport... including AmFootball. :)

    Thanks, everyone, but I'll have to pass on the invite... I'm simply not wired to do anything "halfway" (big surprise, eh?!). If I get into a league, I'll learn it and study it and analyze the statistics to death... which is doubly bad for something I don't yet understand enough! :)
