I'm from England and my son played American Football as quarterback today lol. I think he took a bit of a battering lmao, he loved it and really got into the game, he ended up giving as good as he got bless him. I hear the Miami Dolphins are coming to Wembley soon, and the New York erm....sorry can't remember....(sorry) don't know anything about the sport except it's a bit like rugby (jin makes a mad dash for the door from all the eggs being thrown)

hiding, jinny lol xoxoxoxoxoxo

[Raynaadi]

Lol I won't throw eggs. Souds like your son had a great time! Quarterbacks do tend to get pretty beat up during the game haha.

[sabby]

That's great he played "real" football!!! *ducking from jinn throwing eggs*

New York Giants it would be hon...New York Giants....LOL My fav team (or at least they used to be) LOL

You should try to get out to see them play.....hopefully they will kick Miami's arse to the curb!!! LOL

Hugsss
sabby

[kebsfroggy]

Glad your son got a chance to play "real" football.

If you are a betting person - take the Giants. Unless the dolphins by some miracle of miracles finds that magic rabbit in the hat, the Giants are almost sure to win.

real football my *** lmao

this is REAL football, we don't need to wear wussy helmets rofl
or shoulder pads (dynasty style)




actually proper FOOTball is played with the feet!!!!!

(jin ducks the eggs and cabbages)

My daughter plays Gaelic football and now is into comogee(?), female hurling I believe.

She was a soccer (yes, real FOOTball) goalie in college and really loves the Gaelic football now. But there is NO protection for the goalie in GAA so mom is a bit worried.... Oh well, that's what mom's do..

My hubby sells things on e,bay and he found a really old jigsaw of miami dolphins!! could be worth something lol

I just know what reaction I'll get for that from New York Giants fans

jin xoxoxoxo

[sabby]

I almost forgot....New York does have another team...uggghh....the New York Jets ( booooooo!!! ) LOLOL

*Runs back behind the couch*

(((((((((((sabby))))))))

I like the American football season, and i usually pick a few teams as favorites, though this year I've only paid attention to college games. I was in awe of the Univ. of KY vs. Univ. of Louisville game, in which KY won. I couldn't sit down during the last minute of play...so exciting!
I like to watch Rugby also, but I don't understand it! Those guys look a lot tougher than the American football players. I watched segments of the world playoffs and was amazed.
When my daughter was a student at Univ. of KY, she said the Rugby players were "insane!"

i may watch the dolphins and giants game actually lol.

don't know much about it though. I watched some American soccer today, kansas City against LA Galaxy. Galaxy won.

same as English footy apart from the insane commentators lol.

I played for the Columbus comets--A professional womans football team. It was awesome--I was a defensive end. And yes, we wore pads and tackled and everything.

I also played rugby for the sciota rugby team--go flying squirrels!

As for the debate about rugby versus football...I would have to say American football hurt a lot more. Its a different type of hitting. I loved playing both but hung up my cleats when I turned 34...my poor old body could no longer take the abuse--its been 2 years and I still feel the pain of the broken bones, pulled muscles and numerous concussions.

Of course if you want a real sport, there is always kick boxing...that makes football feel like ball room dancing.

lol depressed me. I would love to see some footballers do ballet
excersises for a month too - that would sort em out hee hee

I can just see David Beckham in a tutu rofl

Jin xoxoxoxoxo

[biiv]

((((((((((((((((jinny))))))))))))))))))) :squashes a tomato over jin while jin is distracted with the hugs:

'real football' is rugby to me too :-)

but i'm in aussie now and i think it is fair to say there are more league supporters than union supporters.

i've been to a few live games of aussie rules and that is... interesting... seriously, though, the guys have a nicer build ;-)

but... don't even talk to me about the world cup

((((((((jin throws a custard pie at biiv)))))))))lol

I'm actually watching rsa against fiji wow what a close game!!!! I'm getting into it now lmao.

come on fiji (ducks) just in case there are any rsa fans lol

[SweetSunshine]

STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!! WHY OHHH WHY waste a CUSTARD PIE Doing that!?!?!?! OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! Crazy People lol!!!!!

BTW... Football definitely rocks over any other sport !!! IMO!!! lol
Now if my Bengals could just win a game!! They need to get their defensive players healthy again..

[DePressMe]

I agree with SweetSunshine, save the pie!!!!

looks like it's gonna be England versus RSA in the final!!!!!

come on England (ducking again)

Who would have thunk it?! http://www.columbuscomets.com/ I've never heard of women's football teams.

[DePressMe]

Hi Perna, thanks for taking the time to check out the comets. Playing pro ball was a high light of my life. It was tough, but I am glad I got the opportunity to do something that is so male dominated. Women really can do anything--if they are given the chance.
