AFL vs NFL vs Union

[strong_latte]

Ok, there've been a few of these already, but personally I was wondering where people ranked NFL.
I personally think that NFL is the most ridiculous and idiotic sport ever invented, seriously how can anyone say it's good when you sit there watching it for 4 hour's and for 3 of those hours your watching commericials for bloody lawn mowers and super soakers!!!
On the other hand though, I work with this yank (an absolute tool) who always argues with me that NFL is better than league, union etc becuase League is just too primitive compared to NFL... he tried to argue that he'd played every game and thats why he could say "for sure" that in comparison to NFL league and union were primitive... mind you he didn't know what a hooker of prop was....

NFL only because i play the madden games.

 

[Kurt Angle]

I used to dislike NFL, but then I ended up understanding it.

Very complex game, I'd say more tactical than League, which is infinately more tactical than Union or AFL.

Once I did, NFL became my 2nd favourite sport after League.

AFL is still appalling.

Yeah same with me. It is a very complex game with a lot of money and tactics. Its just very stop starty.

That's fine.

One really stupid argument you always get AFL fans with...

"League is boring, it's always stop start".

then you go...

"so is cricket, you like cricket ?"

"yeah"

"So you don't hate sports that are stop start.. you hate it for some other reason".

And the you pull out your c0ck and urinate on that same AFL fan.

Laugh, then you laugh...

then laugh some more.

 

[Porkypine Head]

yeah... NFL is more of a tactical game if you are coaching and if you want to play this game... you have to be the size of Morely or perhaps be more like Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuquiri.

I get nuch more interested in this game every time i watch it! I like the big hits as well! They are fun to watch as well!

 

[Red Bear]

AFL easy
Union is shit.
NFL is worse.

 

[Le Rouge]

American football is way better than AFL and Union IMO.


Its a VERY tactical sport with big hits just like League....what more can you want. Brutality is wonderful. \\/ . And the NRL & NFL have it.

Just like league, you must physically grind for the metres you want to make.
In American Footy you gotta use the most of your 4 downs just like league with your 6 tackles..........you got to use your possession wiseley.


unlike union where you just kick it out or AFL where you drop it. ](*,)

and also the Madden games are brilliant.

 

[Chippo Raiders]

Union is easily the most like league....

AFL I can watch and know the rules but I get bored

NFL is very boring..

Tactics in NFL include wearing down a losing opponent in the fourth quarter by forcing them to use their timeouts and running for minimal gains just to eat the clock....this is sooo mind numbingly boring...... and slow


Union I can follow more, it would be the sport i would most likely play second of the above codes

 

[DIEHARD]

None of the above.

 

[Dr Crane]

Cricket
League
Union
AFL
Other stuff goes here, but for arguements sake...

Same here.

I hadn't taken much notice of NFL until last season when I started to take an interest.

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

 

[Stranger]

I seriously couldnt watch NFL. It has got to be one of the slowest games in the world. Seriously overpaid players

 

[strong_latte]

NFL to me is an example of what happens to a sport when you over commercialise and over professionalise it... The players are incredibly one dimensional and single skilled and all the padding makes it look like your watching toy soldiers, so the big hits mean nothing to me... Seriously, what you prefer; a couple of fibre glass padded morons bouncing off each other or a bone-rattling shoulder charge where you can see the flesh of the players ripple on impact?
I've sat down and watched NFL on foxtel live a few times and even though I have gained a good idea of the rules I have never been able to watch a game for more than 5-10 mins.... To be honest most of the time I felt it was more interesting as a study of the US advertising system than a sport, because realistically you get way more viewing time of commercials than game time! Now call me biased, but when I wanna watch the footy, I WANT TO WATCH THE BLOODY FOOTY! I don't want to watch stupid commercials for 3 hours and get snippets in between of what appears to be a game.

Thats about the same as me, but it's a little more like:

League
Union
AFL
Cricket
Soccer
Womens Rugby League
Womens Rugby Union

NFL

 

[JW]

I'd prefer a none of the above option, but if forced to make a choice - NFL.

Cheers.

 

[strong_latte]

I'd have to say out of all the sports: NFL, AFL, RU and RL, NFL players would be least likely to succeed in the other 3... several English Rugby Union players (who never made the national team) have gone to NFL and a couple of AFL players have aswell, but to be successful in NFL you only need to be good at ONE thing! Try putting an NFL player into a game of league with no padding! He might pull off a few hit ups, but when the 6 are up he'd deep shit because he'd be yelling "I can't do this! I'm not a Deee fence player!"

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

NFL players couldn't afford the pay cut to play in the NRL. So your point is nonsense.

They wouldn't even bother.

No, they just couldn't handle playing a game where they don't get 5 minute breat after every run...

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

There is one player that I can recall who came from top level American Football to League.

And what you said didn't happen.

Try again.
