Those of us who are not fans of European-style football tolerated the World Cup discussion this year. Are those FIFA fans so insecure as to attack the NFL so aggressively?
Hey, I don't mind American football (though from what i've seen the CFL is much better).

But it totally stumps me how you could call it "football".

The ball is kicked very rarely, and only ever by specially designated players. I just find it very odd.

In the scale of what sports that I think could sensibly be called "football", i put it like this:
European Football > Gaelic Football > Australian Rules Football > Rugby Union Football > Rugby League Football > North American Football

Can we shave your head if the Texans have a winning season? Your daughters would approve, and my son would think it's funny. ...And I thought you'd be a-postin'- in-the-forums, not watching football.


Are you into college football? I forget...What happened to Texas (UoT) on Saturday?

Well, Tampa lost again, but they didn't get shutout so it's a start.

Cool, they announced there will be a "China Bowl" next year.

Yeah, the Bucs made a game out of it, and Simms is out for a while with internal injuries

Niki, are you a Vikes fan or Seahawks fan? The Hawks smoked the Giants today.

YES! Although the Hawks got a little too relaxed in the 4th quarter.
