I love the NFL..Next Sunday is the last real weekend of football..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
Please......go play in the NFL and then talk about your fucking pad theory. There's not one person on here right now, me included, that could make it through one game in the NFL playing a position other than kicker. And there are some pretty tough people on here. Mostly pussies though.
You could say that about any pro contact sport....you talk like you're probably a lot bigger than me....but something tells me you wouldn't last five seconds on the ice with ME...and I'm no pro....I doubt most NFL'ers would last five seconds on the ice with an NHL'er either...totally different sports, different skill sets, stupid comparisons. I know you won't like this...but pound for pound toughness - wise...I think football falls in behind aussie rules, lacrosse, hockey, and rugby.

A am an absolute sports nut, but I see all these threads about NFL and I just can't get into the sport. I am not really exposed to it so iI can't get into it. If I live in the states I would probably like it though.
This comment reminds me of my trip to South Africa. Every day on the news they'd just go apeshit over the rugby and cricket scores and I personally think those 2 sports are about as entertaining as watching flies fuck. Cultural differences I suppose.
one foot in the door
the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

Flies fuck? that would be awesome. I don't care much for Rugby but Rugby League I like

I used to follow most sports, but barely have time for hockey now...if I had time, I'd get into NFL...but since I don't have a 'team', it's hard to really care who wins n loses...which makes it boring. I like Rugby and Aussie Rules too, but you pretty much have to join a rugby club to get anyone to watch it with you...I like how the guys in the vids in the header post always seem to get up...unlike certain other sports.
curious - did they measure hockey hits?
no dude, I didnt see that they did. i wouldnt be suprised if its on some future episode through. they did measure a hockey goalies reaction time, and its as fast as a cats. something like they get their glove up to stop an 85mph slap shot from 30 feet in .03 seconds. the show rocks, but its on sunday night when the football games are usually on.
keep in mind that the force generated from a football hit was 4000lbs. a 35 mph car crash into a brick wall. that was the force generated from a dude hitting a standing target. send the target running at him, and I would guess the force is approx 6000-7000 lbs. approx the same as getting hit with a sledgehammer full swing 4 times.
PRO athletes are the closest thing to superheros we have on earth (regarding physical ability anyway).

when is this thread going to degenerate into a full blown pissing contest between rugby, hockey and football fans over who's athletes are tougher?
i hope the saints dont suck next year
