Sorry but i find American Football ( how on earth you can describe it as football i'll never know ) sooooo boring, i just dont get it, im sure its fun for people who get all the rules etc but i just dont get it ....... its the only sport where obese pie eaters get called althletes ...
Regards
Seconded, i really dont get the whole changing teams all thetime thing either. Should send the lions over there to play some. Would be an interesting game i reckon, and im pretty certain theyd kick ass (assuming youre allowed to punt it up field rather than throw it).Originally Posted by Steve A
The rules are pretty simple really, The team on the offence has 5 attempts to 'gain' 10 yards. If the attacker is tackled, the play is restarted from where the tackle took place.
So you could gain 5 yards on your first attempt, but you'll still need to make up the remaining 5 yards to start over again within the next 4 goes.
The quarterback (the dude who chucks the ball behind the line of blockers must 'complete' the pass to his team mate, if not it is deemed as incomplete and the play goes back. The opposition can intercept the ball and then they will get 5 attempts to gain 10 yards from where ever the player was tackled (unless he gets a touchdown).
Darts?
My feelings towards soccer are very similar, except you can know the rules and still find it boring. American Football is like a chess game. Each play or move is some action, unlike soccer when whole games go by and nothing happens.
The thing with american football is the slowness of the game too, watching a game in person is fine, 3 hours of drinking with friends is fine, but watching it on TV is just so slow. I really like american football (at least on CH4 days when it was just highlights) but the whole things is just slow.
As for pie eaters being called athletes, i have to disagree, some of those guys are SERIOUSLY fast. As for the RUGBY/AMerican football thing, it was done several years ago, and rugby code only just lost.

Made me chuckle that they were advertising Youth Football whilst the camera was on some cheerleader with her boobs about to fall out.
Thank god it wasn't Janet again hey
God i hate American Football, bores me to death. There is a reason only the US play it (properly anyway). Get the fat poofs on a rugby pitch i say.
Please tell me in what way 'whole games go by and nothing happens'? That only ever happens in the Sunderland defense.
Oh, and the game is football. Only muppets, Yanks and the slightly less annoying Chuckle Brother ever calls it soccer.
I'd also challenge the statement that American Football 'is like Chess', but I don't care enough to do so.
