But it's nothing compared to our football. No sport compares. And that's a fact.

I'm just sayin'.

Yup our players are some of the biggest and best specimens that science can create and money can buy.

That is some PRIME American MEAT out there on those fields every Sunday.

Explain the "infield fly rule" to me. Laugh QUICK! Do it now. Don't Google it.

You seem to mistake pedantic details and minutiae for the scope for actual invention and variation on the field of play. Other sports like Golf and Cricket have similarly complex rules, but the absorbing detail of the game comes from the huge variety of different shots they have to use and conditions they have to deal with out on the pitch/course.

I mean, how many different types of baseball shot are there? Have you ever seen a Baseball hitter reverse his grip and stance to hit a reverse shot while the pitcher is throwing the ball?

If football was "borderline unwatchable" it wouldn't get the highest TV ratings of any sport in the world including that poofy world cup ya'll seem to love. I tried to watch the US play England but fell asleep. -YAWN- What a snoozer.

For one day a year! That's about all most people can put up with

Yeap, I'd bet a couple of Euros on F1 having a larger T.V audience than 'murkan Footbal.

I watch F1. Your on!

There is a new F1 track being built here in Austin. It will open in 2012. If you take a look at Google maps you won't see the track being built yet, but it will be just south of the southern end of the runway of our commercial airport.

Rugby is for men who relish some good medieval style prison sex....... without comiting to an actual prison sentence via a crime on their personal record... fags!!!!

Where I live Hard core Dykes do Rugby just to prove they're more than manly enough without the whole " growing a penis thing".


All of you get help, you need it.

But if you are really that "bad ass" try some CRW see you Saturday morning at the DZ if you are truelly as bad ass as you think.

But there is no sport as brutal as our football. Rugby almost comes close.

whats the weather like on your planet?

you want brutal,

in ireland we have a national sport called hurling Camogie, id put a hurling Camogie team up against your american football teams any day of the week. I'd have a hard time choosing between a hurling team and a rugby team but the rugby guys would probably ease ahead due to sheer bulk rather then toughness bulk

Just for the record, I think Hurling is feckin' A COOL! The first time I saw it I wished we had it here. It looks like a blast to play.

I'm just sayin'.

Keep saying, keep pretending its truth too... a 11 whole minutes of running? over the course of 3-4 hours? why dont you try running up and down a soccer field for 90 min? think you can sprint faster than those 'little girls' after the first 20?

and you are dead wrong anyway, the most brutal sport in the world is called BASE.

what is the fatality rate in football? or any other so called 'sport'? (for that matter skydiving is more brutal than your beloved football.)

so much for 'facts'.

ah yes, because popularity is what determines difficulty or excellence. Google 'lowest common denominator' while you are at it or man up to the 'fact' that in 'your world' Britney Spears and Michael Jackson are the best musicians EVER.

Not in MY world, bro. In MY world it's hard to choose who is the "best".
On guitar, maybe Robin Trower.
On drums, Neil Peart.
On bass maybe Les Claypool or Victor Wooten.
Then you get into the world of traditional music and there are so many I wouldn't know where to start. Bela Fleck is one hell of a banjo player. But he's not exactly trad.

Of course you Euro boys spend all your time listening to electronicrap, right? Or maybe rap I suppose. You know you can't spell CRAP without RAP.

american football isnt the most watched sport in the world, the superbowl is the most watched event in the world, there is a big difference. show me the world wide ratings of the jets game in week6 and ill show you higher ratings from a multitude of sports that week or any other week of the regular season. ill even probably do it without using soccer which i happen to hate with a passion

You had better hope the american F1 team can actually manage building a car.

Even if you do it american chopper style by creating a car from everybody elses parts.

And then they had better practice turning right!



In all seriousness though, It is bout time america stepped it up on the F1 scene.

Isn't it a bit strange that only people who come from countries which play rugby that are the ones calling american football pussies? How many NFL games have you been to in order to make an assumption?

I've been to several, I thought it was an interesting game until I saw it live. OMG, tedious is not the word, 5 mins of play lasted 45 mins as they kept changing one team for another. I doubt that they have the stamina to play rugby. As for crash helments and massive padding what the hells that all about?

I'm raising the BULLSHIT card to the above.

Same here..... there's no where near 5 minutes of actual playTongue

more like 5 seconds!

Saying these big tough fat gridion boofheads that can put you on you ass from 3 metres are tougher than a large rugby player who can actually run a length of the feild for 90 minutes in both directions is rediculous.

In comparison the 'merican footy player would be similar to a porn star that had a bid dick like Ron Jeremy but blows his load after 20 seconds.

The bummer is the US F1 team has already called it quits for the near future. They cited the "weak economy". I doubt they could find a driver who even knew what a right turn was! lol

Uh... OK, I suppose I could mention I'm a big Bothy Band fan. Then there's Lunasa, Dervish & Patrick Street. There's too many to mention. But they're all Irish which is kinda my thing.

tourney paintball might not be the most "physically hitting" sport,but you do sprint alot, and are getting the piss shot out of you every game.

68 caliber hard shelled paintballs coming at you 13.3 per second at 300 fps, can suck real fast.

Cant argue with any of those choices. I've seen all of the above several times and in fact I saw two of them in the same night in Vegas recently... point was POPULARITY is a poor metric for excellence or difficulty be it sports, music, literature, pretty much any human endeavor you can fairly well count on that more widely it is liked the more mediocre it is as well.

Unfortunately no. They mentioned they had called it quits during the last race a month ago.

Looking forward to today's race in Belgium! Got it recording on my DVR.

I see what you're saying as far as the lowest common denominator. But in the case of the NFL, I don't think it applies.
The players in soccer and rugby generally have more endurance for constant running up and down the field. But the NFL is a harder hitting game. SOME of the players are really big guys, but there is more to them than weight. Somebody said some of the guys are over 400 pounds. NO. Nobody in the NFL is that big. And the wide receivers and tight ends have to have just as much endurance as anyone in sports except perhaps for marathon runners. As far as deaths in the game, the last I remember was for some sort of undiagnosed heart defect resulting in a heart attack during pre-season workouts. This was years ago. Deaths aren't that common in the NFL.
