i hate to do this... but take ur pic.... the eagles or patriots?
-
I think the Pats will wipe the floor clean... that dosnt mean I hope they do. But im almost sure they will win.
-
Even though I've already made one of these, about two weeks ago, I'll vote.
Pats.
-
Who do I want to win? The Eagles.
Who do I think will win? The Pats.
Either way....my Vikes lost out.
-
Who? What? When?

Not as hard as rugby, which is the proper version of it (no big pads, no celebrating the simple act of tackling someone).

We're the eagles,
The West Coast Eagles,
And we're here,
To show them why.
We're the big birds,
Kings of the big game.
We're the Eagles,
We're flying high.
Preseason for real football starts up this month, get your tickets while you're able. Top 4 for the eagles this year. :nod:[/COLOR]

I’m sorry but I have friends who play both... and he will tell you they are both equally challenging in their separate areas. He will tell you that because of the lack of padding people DO hold back in rugby and that football players actually DO hit harder. He will tell you about how football is chess on a field and how comparing the two physically is pretty pointless. They are both extremely physically challenging in their own way and each in their own areas are harder then the other.

I hate both.
PS: Get some, England! :p

First go play chess on a professional basis, and only then compare it to another sport. In time you will understand. :p

Pats by 10. Although I'd love to see a close game won by an Adam Veniteri kick with the clock running down.

Its the wussie version of safety rugby no less.
CFL > NFL

I've always wondered by the Superbowl is held in February, instead of, well, anytime of the year except the coldest month.

Sems I'm the only one who voted snuffleupagus.
-
I demand an American admin who has the proper respect for fabulous sporting events and won't defile the honor of the Super Bowl with imaginary animals. :D
-
yeah, i agree with aldo. rugby rocks. american football's just big guys in bigger suits crashing into each other.
-
My Birds may be listed as underdogs, but I think they're gonna get it done. With T.O. back, and McNabb the best he's ever been, plus some Pro-Bowl-caliber defense, we've got what it takes. And that pansy MA governor wouldn't even eat a cheesesteak. :p Dynasty my ass, this city's going to get its first championship in 81 major sports seasons. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles! :D
-
GO SNUFFLEUPAGUS!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Seriously, I know nothing about American Football (Gridiron), except for what I saw in the Simpsons and the Waterboy. I like Rugby better, simply because I know more about it.

a) Padding. Padding. Padding. Padding.... Padding Padding. Why use it? What's the point?
I've never played in a rugby game where people held back, and that was at the lowest possible level (2nd row prop in school PE). Maybe your friend holds himself back in rugby because he doesn't have padding?
(there's not a scrum in American Football, is there? I rest my case if not....)
b) And this is the important point - It's not called football. You don't use your feet, for one thing (kicking doesn't count); if anything, it should be called american rugby. Do you have any idea how annoying it is going into a shoe store in America trying to get a proper set of cheap (exchange rate) boots, only to get given these steel-cleated monsters?

the padding really doesnt do **** except make the hits harder, more mass to throw around
