OT: American footy thread

[strider]

As a Parramatta fan, it makes sense that you would want that rule.

this is funny ... cos its true :lol:

Did you use the phone app that let's you order a beer right to your seat?
My brother was at tha game and was telling me about it. Got good seats pretty cheap too because the Niners had been eliminated from Playoff contention.

I can't wait to get to a game. I had a chance to go to the last game at Candlestick (would have gone apeshit at the 'Pick at the Stick'), but no one else could go with me and I didn't want to experience it by myself.

I love both NRL and the NFL. I can understand how people find it boring, but I'm sure if some of them were to learn more About the game and learn its intricacies (as well as have a team to cheer for - that makes a difference) then they would start to enjoy it more.

We will all have a team soon. Might even sell Lions jersies in the Blue & Gold store.

As a Dragons fan, you would have experienced what hindy was describing first-hand - what, with the 30-nil scoreline and all...

Also - you guys hired (and kept for THREE seasons) Steve Price, so you're the last people who should be laughing at anyone tbh.

My team is f**king shit, & will be for years to come.

I'm not going to ask for a 12 point handicap every game because of it.

 

[not graham olling]

I'm sure they'll work it out. Once they do someone will whinge. Can't keep everyone happy.

I will, 'cos my team is shitter than yours.

 

[Twizzle]

League just needs to bring back the physical contest and stop trying to change the rules. Take away the wrestling and get players to tackle again.

I blame Craig Bellamy and Melbourne in general. They are the antichrist of the game.

 

[strider]

I blame Craig Bellamey and Melbourne in general. They are the antichrist of the game.

i agree .... what bellamy does has brought success, and hence is getting copied .... but it's f**kin shit!!

Agreed and give a good legs tackle the credit it deserves!!!

They changed the rules after 2008 because that season was just one big wrestle bore fest and by the GF in 2009 they let the cheats do what they wanted and the wrestling is again prevalent.

Just f**king get rid of it, i have never heard ANY fan of league say they like the wrestling, so why the f**k do the NRL continue to let it happen????

 

[hindy111]

Cause like sterol has said-Its gone too far now and is too hard to police.

 

[T.S Quint]

Maybe the NRL can allow players to launch themselves at players' knees, like they do in the NFL.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Doug marrons walks from hc of bills, throw your house now on bills going to playoffs next year, the dumbest hc in the nfl, and was the thing holding our team back ( aswell as his puppet on offense Nathaniel Hackett) from going to playoffs this year

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Bills should IMO give Swartz another chance at a hc gig, promote pepper Johnson to dc, and bring in tresmsn from the bears as oc

Who's your QB though, Ron? EJ was dropped for Orton (who has now retired again), do you place all your hopes on EJ to come good or do you try and get a QB in the draft and probably have to trade up for one?

 

[hindy111]

Sanchez

Didn't use the beer app mr squint. Beers were over $10 each and they refused to sell past the 3rd quarter. The only 2 downers from going. Great game by Ravens today. their luck with picking up Fawcett? After dum ass rice is setting em up beautufully

 

[Parra]

He gives hope to small blokes. Good with the ball, ferocious blocks.

 

[jk13]

Yeah, u hear so many stories like this guy who floats around the nfl and comes good on a late chance. That's why hayne has a slight chance of success. I think only new eng or Ravens can stop Seattle.

 

[Parra]

He is a good example for anyone who questions what Hayne is trying to achieve.

I'm still not sure where Hayne fits - latest bit of news indicated RB, that doesn't seem right for him. Maybe slot receiver / some RB duties?
