Erm.......NO!

Another no for me. American football is just rugby for pussies.

I went to watch the Washington Redskins play Tampa Bay - I have to say the whole day was really good, the stadium was unbelieveable !!

I probably would have liked it if I understood it, but to be honest it just went on too damn long !! 4 hours !! I lost the will to live I'm afraid. Plus the whole stop, start, stop , start thing did my head in - GET ON WITH IT !!!

Mind you millions of americans can't be wrong ?!!?

i dont mind it, i like all the tactical plays

as i used to play it i have to disagree.

yes we wear pads. but that means the person tackling you is ALSO wearing pads and charging into your gut. Someone smashing their face-cage into your arm really ****ing hurts i can assure you. And a helmet to the groin isn't exactly christmas!!!

and pads are neccessary in american football, as the tackling player will usually be getting a 10 foot run up before launching himself at the ball carrier wheras in rugby, the players are nearer together (scrum, and im not dissing rugby)

i love the tactics in american football and think thats whats good about it. the fact that the games last 3 hours is cool as the season only lasts 16 games (play-offs not included)

thats just my two pence anyway!
