Football Predictions ****MEN ONLY***

Yeah but we love a good freak show.. thats why 1.2 million of us tuned in to watch that twinkie Kate and pretty boy william tie the knot... .
But, really... Saying something like, "All I know is that the US thinks sport revolves around them" is silly. If sports in the US draw more fans and ratings worldwide than sports in other countries, does that make Americans ignorant or conceited?
Yes.
(This is a sports thread, ribbing is a requirement)
The US thinks ALL things revolve around them.
Hardly a freak show...0 -
Damn right. Trust the yanks to rename a global sport 'Soccer' then call their fake rugby football.
:P
The rules of football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863 and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football. The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".
Within the English-speaking world, association football is usually called football (or colloquially footy) in the United Kingdom, and soccer in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. Other countries may use either or both terms, and may also have local names for the sport.
Bump, in case this was missed.

Lol, till one of them run over a soccer player.American Football should really be called "wimps running around wrapped in cotton wool".
My prediction is that Manchester City will slip up and United will win the Premier League.
Glory, Glory, Man United.

IT does. Why do you think foreigners are now trying to get into the NBA, MLB, NFL? Cause of the money!Who knows then. All I know is that the US thinks sport revolves around them. 'The World Series'...competitors involved = the US.

Been a Tebow fan since his FL days (huge Gators fan here). I don't think you win the Heisman by being an "AWFUL quarterback. Nor do I think you bring a 1-4 team back from the dead by being an "AWFUL quarterback".
His completion average - Terrible (Under 50%)
He tends to overthrow or underthrow. Almost always, but especially on long throws. His turnover rate is incredibly high. He holds onto the ball for WAY too long, which CAN lead to big plays... for either him OR the defense. His situational awareness is not good. He doesn't see his open man far too often.
Basically, his only real strength is the option. Hes fast, and he's big.
Hes a mediocre QB, at best.
Oh, one last thing - he does tend to perform much better when the heat is on and they are down. I guess that helps.
Meh, he's a running QB, which isn't seen often in the NFL. I guess you could say he's a prima-donna, but a good old christian boy...so the two rule each other out? :laugh:0 -

Basketball and War.
If you saw the riots that break out at football matches you would consider war to be a sport. :laugh:0 -
Let's see, guys that weigh 300lbs that have 5.0 speed in a 40yd dash vs guys that at most weigh 200lbs with the same speed? Hmmmm I think the laws of physics favor the NFL player here. It's one thing to play against guys your own size, another to play against behemoths who are athletic. I liken it to me playing against a bunch of kindergarteners.I'd like to see your 'American Footballers' play some of our Rugby players. Then we'll see how much they enjoy it

Track and Field, Swimming, Basketball to name a few. If you're trying to lead into soccer, the reason why it's not popular here is because it's considered quite boring and football is a game we enjoy more. Plus the sport helps to support colleges around the US.Name one team sport the US competes on an international basis and does well in?

That's the one thing I really quite admire about it...you have 'drafts' or something of your own college students (as far as I can tell?) And isn't college football huge? Ie, stadiums and stuff.
I'd love to see UK football teams do a similar thing with out young people but it'd never happen.0 -
And the fan base is, men, women (as shown on this forum) children and the elderly. Not just a bunch of drunk hooligan frat boys....

Lol, that's before the padding. But put pads on the Rugby guys.................they would still get smashed. Rugby guys can't even make an NFL team. Many have tried, but lack speed, skill and catching ability.

The two sports are quite different in how they are played. American football has a series of short burst of explosive speed, and the risk for injury requires the protective equipment.

Both sports are fantastic, and have incredible athletes playing them. To call one group out for the padding is silly, as the two games are quite different and have different risks involved.0 -
32 different countries play at the "soccer" World Cup, and over 100 actually try to qualify.
How many countries compete in your baseball World Series?
World? Really? :P0 -
Well back to the NFL, I think I like Tebow and the Broncos for the win since my Titans and the hubs Seahawks are out. And I usually for the underdog! Was kind of hoping the Colts would let Peyton go and he'd come back here to TN. Maybe Muncheck will go to Penn state and Fisher will come back and get us going again!0
