I voted football sucks but in all honesty I didn't think it was a touch down either. I did think that a few of the decisions were questionable. And although some of the plays by the seahawks were very good, I think that overall the steelers probably deserved victory. Especially with the 2 or 3 'big' plays.
Shit game none-the-less

To be honest that was not a touchdown but the Seahawks fucked that game for themselves. 2 missed field goals, horrible time management, poor running game, dropped passes, and penalties did them in.

Football sucks, is for fags, is boring

Exactly, stop calling it football, find some other name for it.
Like 'sport-that-only-americans-care-about-but-not-the-rest-of-the-world'

Ha. Maybe it's time to have a separate sports forum that only americans can access so we can talk about our "sports that no one cares about but still feel the need to read a thread and make a comment on"

First off, American football kicks soccer's ass. Dont get me wrong, soccer is a fun game, but yankee football is so much more intense. 300lbs linemen tackling ppl and shit, crazy ass guys doing crazy as things. And, its a thinking mans game, like chess, lots of dynamic thinking.
As for the superbowl, seattle did get screwed a few times. I fuckin hate the Steelers so much, especially the coach, such a lil biatch.
No worries tho, next year, the Giants are gunna win everything

Oo another football vs soccer thread. How unique ^^
As for the game, i think it was shit, boring game, and for the touchdowns, the steelers first td wasnt in, and the steelers should have gotten their first td minutes earlier but that was flagged. Silly.

Than watch it, pretty much anything has more action than cricket or soccer, and soccer is about 20202020 times better than cricket.
And either way the nfl still blows compared to ncaa football. |
I have watched it. I admit footy is boring to watch sometimes but yankball = unwatchable ALWAYS!
I have seen yankball a lot of times (its on at 2am nearly every week I don't particularly pay attention because I rarely watch TV) and I watched the super bowl, and all I remember seeing were adverts and people standing around waiting for play. If you timed the exact time from when there is 'action' then i bet in a whole match (supposedly 80mins or whatever it was) then I bet you'd get less than 10 minutes in most games. |

not more action than rugby though Hockey is another unwatachable sport for me too. Such a yawn fest. There's not many sports I can watch though. Handball is pretty good though even though ive never played it.

I do watch the NHl. It's such a yawn fest because 1. It's pretty hard to see where the puck is half the bloody time 2. It's just baaaaaccccccckkkk and forth baaaaaaacccccccckkkkkk and forth. Watching it on TV you don't get the atmosphere or feel the hits and bumps like in rugby either. The padding takes away all that.
Watching it live will be better without a doubt but on TV, no chance.
Same with football really. unless you've actually been to watch a game you'llnever really appreciate it.

you realise what would happen if hockey players didnt wear gear, its alot rougher than rugby the players are more built, games twice as fast people are getting hurt enoough already without the gear popele would be dying left and right. Same goes for nfl. You get the atmosphere for sure, must be the tv station you guys watch it on.

 NFL = a lot of fat boys. rugby players are 17 stone of pure muscle.
I'd easily take a hit from an NHL player over a rugby player even if it's someone like peter stringer. (go google)
The gear doesn't save lives in NFL at all. With hockey i'd give you that (although not up to life.. if no1 wore all the padding there'd be less collisions!), but its more of a protection against the playing surface than the opponents.
The NFL = a standing start from about 5 meters. You might say 'but you can get tackled at any time' ... I'd love an NfL player go into a ruck and survive a stamping.
It's a known fact nfl players = can't make the transition into rugby. Rugby players = can play in the nfl! |

i dont have a fucking clue why some think the nhl is a yawn fest. what game did you guys watch? coyotes-blue jackets? you should watch wings-asslanche or canucks-flames, thats 60 minutes of pure action...and you dont honestly believe you would prefer a hit from i-break-your-neck-bertuzzi, look-i'm-hideous-hatcher or ouch-my-heart-fischer than any rugby player. sure, they might be pure muscle, no doubt about that, but the impact from any of those hockey players would be way more intense though, alone because of the speed....

They're not bigger and more built. And THEYRE ON SKATES. The impact is greatly reduced, although maybe increased a bit by the speed, i'd still rather take a hit from any hockey player than a rugby player.
Hockey has a reputation of goons and boxers? basis?  it's like saying manchester city has a reputation with boxers because ricky hatton has a tattoo of them! besides, it's pretty irrelevant anyway. |

The impact is reduced? Flying 7 miles an hour down the ice, weighing 250 pounds at 6'5 and leveling someone into the boards, with a stick to top it off as compared to jumping on each other (ive played rugby)....ur cracked man.
Rugby is a tough ass game, no doubt and I dont mind watching rugby. But dont say rugby is tougher than hockey, your dreaming.
The only sport (besides fighting sports) that is tougher than hockey is american football. And even that is kinda debatable. Soccer and rugby have nothing on hockey and football.
Hockey, in a all around way, is the toughest sport. Both mentally and physically. U need quick thinking, sharp skills, tons of coordination and balance, good eyes, strong body etc
and football, u have to worry about being crushed by some giant of a man...
Rugby, yeah, tons of injuries and I wont say anything about it in that regard and it is kinda a thinking mans game.
But soccer, naw man. Contact is minimal (although bad shit does happen every so often) and its more about endurance with very little action.
Fun game to play, boring to watch.
