    I agree with everything but the Steelers over Broncos. I'm hoping for Broncos over Steelers.

    You can hope. Tebow can pray. But it's my fondest desire that James Harrison shows that boy what playing in the NFL means finally.
    Honestly I'd like the Steelers much better if they had a different QB. I can't stand worthlessburger.
    I do love me some Troy Palomano!!

    Booo ManU :( (Chelsea fan :drinker: )

    And Steelers :heart:
    thsmiley_consoling.gif I'm sure Chelsea might manage to secure a qualifying spot in the Europa League next season.

    I know. Most American's aren't even aware there are teams other than Man U or maybe Real Madrid but that's about it. I dated a boy from Greenford so I'm still a Chelsea fan :) gotta love UK football though!
    liam_shadowboxer.gif I hope you aren't calling me American. I'm Irish.

    Who knows then. All I know is that the US thinks sport revolves around them. 'The World Series'...competitors involved = the US. :p
    Also, really...

    Looking at the major professional sports in the United States -- baseball, football and basketball -- is there one that has exclusivity rules as far as what nationalities can play? The best players of each sport in the world play in those leagues.

    Should we? I don't expect anyone in the UK to be familiar with which teams are in the National League West.

    LOL no no no! I'm simply inferring that I'll probably get boo'ed and hissed for talking about football football instead of football.

    Guys the thread was about football in America as the bulk of people on this site regard the name of the sport.
    Don`t like that...fine but don`t piss on everyones shoes over such a trite thing.

    Sheesh.
    Carl, the title of the thread didn't specify "American Football", it just says "Football". People in the civilised world consider "football" to mean the game that you Americans call soccer. :smile:

    I think you misinterpreted. I'm not saying other nationalities can't play in your sports...I was saying how you have a tournament named 'The World Series' where only US teams compete. That'd be like footballs 'The World Cup' being played by British premiership teams.

    no, no, no... I said football, not soccer... LOL!!! My boss is from GB and we have this debate all the time.....

    Football is football. American football on the other hand...
    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:

    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.

    Most of my friends know quite a bit about American football teams. From most accounts they like the sound of the players smashing into each other :laugh: . I suppose whatever tickles your pickle!

    Hell will freeze over if this *does* happen....

    But Manning vs. Tebow.

    G-men for the win.

    Like I said....hell would freeze over if it did happen.

    I'll do reality vs. what I want to happen:

    Reality:
    Texans over Bengals
    Saints over Lions
    Falcons over Giants
    Steelers over Broncos

    Fantasy:
    Don't care either way.
    Lions over Saints -- only in that the Lions beating the Saints would be crazy.
    Giants over Falcons -- Being a life-long fan of the crappiest NFC East team, I'd still pull for the Giants to win. Manning's Gomer Pyle-ish-ness has made me overcome my hatred for his draft shenanigans.
    Kinda don't care either way -- Though I'm seeing this as a "Good vs. Evil" struggle and I've always pulled for the Dark Side.

    Really wish the debate about Tebow would die already.

    He's an AWFUL quarterback. Nice guy, but terrible player.

    Tebow has a lot of potential, but he's not Super Bowl ready. He's not even really Steelers ready ... the team isn't ready! There's always the chance that we will have a crazy comeback in the 4th, that's one of those things we do ... but the Steelers are going to have to walk in to the game thinking their balls are bigger than their skills and be overly confident for that to happen. I don't think they're that stupid.

    When the World Series was first devised in 1903, international baseball teams were nearly non-existent. Baseball is quite entrenched in tradition, and nobody is going to change the name now.

    There is a World Championship of Baseball played every four years. Sadly, the US sends a rag-tag 3rd string group of players, which makes it a bit of a joke.

    If sports in the US draw more fans and ratings worldwide than sports in other countries, does that make Americans ignorant or conceited?

    Anytime you limeys want to lose to the Cubans we draft feel free.
  • Patriots beat the Steelers to win the AFC

    Saints go to San Fran and win, while the Falcons go to Green Bay and beat the Packers in a shocking upset.

    Saints beat the falcons in the super dome for the NFC and go on to beat the Patriots again in Indy!!
