    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.
    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... .

    Hardly a freak show...

    Damn right. Trust the yanks to rename a global sport 'Soccer' then call their fake rugby football.
    :P

    :smile:

    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. holla.gif

    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. :smile:
    Lol, till one of them run over a soccer player.

    That was nothing compared to My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. I thought it was beautiful but traveler weddings are outrageously extravagant. You should check them out.

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

    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:

    Basketball. Women's Soccer.

    Sadly, we never send a decent contingent to the Olympics or World Baseball Classic, but we would wipe the rest of the world up.

    If you saw the riots that break out at football matches you would consider war to be a sport. :laugh:

    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.
