American football-a homoerotic exhibition where immense steroid infused men prance on the turf, grasping each other, tossing other men to the earth and jumping on them in a twisted form of male bondage, spanking each other on the ass, and then they shower together. Need I say anymore?

Nope.

But I will.

Yankee football is as much a game of chess as is it about physical prowess. It is, indeed, the ultimate physical game involving violence, short of war.

No, we should not support either. It is disgusting.

Acts of love that you allude to would be far better taught to our children than the violence of football, which is actually the training of young men's minds for induction into the pursuit of war for the gain of the rich.

I will stop there and say... yeah... whatever... I am watching the game, drinking beer, eating pizza, screaming at the refs... I am not gonna suck any cocks. If I could change the violence aspect, I would, but I can't, so I am gonna watch the fags PLAY FUCKIN FOOTBALL!

Besides, it's not fencing, biathelon, rodeo, skeet, trap, target, archery, or any other sport worth watching. Dressage is more interesting, and has fewer commercial breaks. So is watching paint dry.

To those who don't understand the game it may seem pointless but those are the ones who I'd invited to post elsewhere. Aparently they couldn't resist.

If you read my post correctly you'd get that the ignorance comes from posting to a thread that should not concern you if you don't like football. One should only feel insulted if they are posting ignorant comments.

Like being an asshole about spelling.

Go ahead, corect my spelling again if you need to do it to make yourself feel superior.

Why don't you start a thread about how much better you are because you can spell and use proper grammar?

Pysical yes, violent not really.

Gnu I'm not sure it is very disgusting. I get that your being sarcastic but most here wouldn't.

I was thinking of getting some American beer in for tonight:

"However, we have had word that our miniscule allocation of Brewdog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%) is about to land. We can offer this collectors item to you at the crazy price of £39 per 330ml bottle. I think that makes it technically more expensive than uranium. Now, only 500 bottles have been made, so this really is a rare beast, and it's first come, first served…"

Will the Saints double Clark? What if Addai is lined up short... will they drop and stop and risk the cross short under with the deep threat optional? Will the Colts secondary play blanket zone beyond mid-field and leave one deep back or play man-to-man on blitz and dare the Saints to pound the ball? Have they got the balls to risk it against the Brees? Are they Manning enough?

Or dozens of other scenarios... chess indeed. Unless you know the game, you just don't know it. On many threads, I have said I LOVE football, rugby, tennis, squash, etc... but Yankee Football is like everything else the Yanks do... they just do it better.

Here's a story I heard several years ago, told by a Cajun musician. Wait - it was Mark Savoy. At the time, the Saints were a losing team.

===============
Beaudreau died and went to Hell. One day the devil came to him and said, "What do you think of the heat in Hell, Beaudreau?"

Beaudreau shrugged. "Reminds me of a day planting the beans in April in Louisiana." The devil said "Humph!" Then he went and jacked up the thermostat of Hell as high as it would go.

He went back and he said, "What do you think of that, Beaudreau?"

But Beaudreau just said, "Reminds me of walking the beans in Louisiana in August." So the devil went and turned the thermostat of Hell down as COLD as it would go. There were icicles hanging everywhere, and snow was flying.

"What do you think of THAT, Beaudreau?"

"I don't know what to think. I guess the Saints must have gone to the Superbowl."

Hell must be freezing today!

Nobody's mentioned the end of the 2nd quarter - Payton went for 7 rather than 3 on 4th down and failed. Manning got the ball with c99 yards to go and failed to make 1st down. Saints got the ball back and finished the half with 3. I'd say that was where it started to be the Saints' game.

Subject: RE: BS: Happy SUPER SUNDAY!
From: mousethief
Date: 09 Feb 10 - 01:14 PM

I read somewhere that going for 7 instead of 3 was a calculated risk in the sense that if they failed to make the 7, it put the Colts at such a disadvantage in field position that it was worth giving up the 3. In other words they could have gone for the easy 3 but then the Colts would have a much easier time making up 7 of their own. By giving up the 3 they made it all the more unlikely the Colts would score on that drive.

But who knew the Colts would be so obliging?

gnu: In their position you would expect them to kick the field goal. If they had the would certainly have got it -- but then they would have to kick off to the Colts, who would then have the ball on the Saints' 20, or very possibly better field position than that.

By going for a touchdown instead, if they fail then they are out 3 points, but the Colts have the ball on the Saints' goal line -- making it much harder for them to make it into scoring position, and therefore far more likely to have to punt, and from much farther back. Thus putting the Saints in much better position to make a touchdown.

Sorry I didn't see this thread until two days after the game, but I was busy elsewhere, watching the game, and haven't logged on to the computer at all for a while.

The Saints have been letting their opponents score first all year, so I wasn't at all worried at 7-0 or even At 10-0. The failed 4th-and-goal call was at least aggressive, and (as noted above) resulted in good enough field position to get another 3 points before halftime anyway.

And, speaking of aggressive play-calling, then came the onsides kick! From that point on it was really all over.
