Thanks for backing me up Nugget! As much as I have grown to love the NFL, got to say it's a slow version of rugby League!
i love league but the nfl is on a different level,its just pure violence
if there wasnt protection you'd have dead players on the field mate
Ldee needs to get out of his Big Top a bit more, slow version of Rugby League, pure comedy genius
"if there wasnt protection you'd have dead players on the field mate" dont talk sh't, because they have protection it lets them hit people in totally the wrong way, if they didn't have protection, they would have to learn how to hit without breaking their necks.
you're a bit clueless aren't you..............shouldn't comment on stuff you know nothing about
Learn about the history of the game and how protection has evolved with it and then you'll understand more.
The protection enables them to hit from all angles and not worry about killing themselves you fool, unlike Rugby where you have to get the tackle correct or else you break lots of limbs, now do one, obi one.
the reason i can assume you are simple is that you started a thread called "bet of the year" on the 6th february.
I rest my case ,goodnight
I rest my case ,goodnight
Its mostly about the speed in the NFL, the hits are way more explosive, therefore more dangerous
SDL, so backup why i am cluess when replying to your stupid statement. we are taking about hits not bets, you dick!
From 1931 to 2006, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research has reported 1,006 direct and 683 indirect fatalities resulting from participation in all organized football (professional, college, high school, and sandlot) in the US .
read it and weep der der dum dum
read it and weep der der dum dum
because they don't know how to hit properly you prat, they are not thinking "how do i hit without breaking my body" think about it, if like you say they have no protection, they would soon learn how to tackle without killing themselves. You really are clueless, you must be a bit simple, come on admit it.
time to stop digging your hole mate,you're just embarassing yourself now
I don't doubt these are tough guys playing today but I'm sure they would struggle to last 10 mins on a rugby field!
You are a f'ckwit. They hit like they do cos they dont have to worry about protecting their body. I teach you a lesson, learn it and shut up you prat.
think about it, if you are covered in protection from head to toe, you dont care where you throw your body.......take away protection, you don't get "dead bodies" like you say, you get people thinking twice before jumping in head first to a tackle.

So how long do you think they would last on the field in the ultimate contact sport known as Rugby League?

Rugby league my number 1 sport, but love NFL, amazing how many rugby fans take to nfl so easy. Different sports but high entertainment. Watched chelsea v liverpool today and realised why I love nfl and league.
I have played League for 18 years and had a dabble at American Football with Manchester Titans for a bit of training etc
ldee,willie mason tried to sell himself to the nfl but was rejected for being too small and not athletic enough,tape of greg inglis was thrown around the nfl too and they didnt even bother trialling him.
so no Different sport different tackling, much more lateral tackling in league

I am comparing the two, just replying to a stupid comment about if you take away protection you have dead bodies. Totally different sports, in one you have to learn how to hit without harming your body, in the other you can dive in head first as you have full body protection.
I love NFL and League

ffs man,there have been nearly 2000 deaths with some form of protection,which bit of all this dont you understand.
having played both, american football is the top contact sport. ferocious hitting on players without ball.

You really are stupid! There are so many injuries because they don't think about tackling correctly, that is the problem. I will say this s l o w l y f o r ..........take away protection, they have to think about how they hit, hence, less injuries....go on, try and squeeze that in your head.

american football is the top contact sport. ferocious hitting on players without ball. i agree
im so sorry it is so hard for you to understand, are you in employment?
When i was working in Pittsburgh i had a chat with Lee Flowers who was playing for the Steelers at the time. I told him i play Rugby, his reply was "that is the crazy game with no protection, no way would you get me playing that sport with no protection!"
This is my last go at explaining it for you.....
There have been nearly 2000 deaths in the sport..............IF you take away protection you will have dead players on the field.
Protection is there for a reason.

That proves my point really!

"that is the crazy game with no protection, no way would you get me playing that sport with no protection!" to which i would reply "because we dont hit as hard as you do. "
take away protection they learn how to tackle properly, THERE ARE SO MANY INJURIES COS THEY HAVE PROTECTION AND THEY HIT IN STUPID WAYS YOU WOULD NEVER DREAM OF WITHOUT HELMETS ETC.............easy isn't it.

in rugby you generally catch the ball once it has been thrown back to you. in american football you can get thrown the ball forwards with you running at full speed with your eyes on the abll behind you.. catch it.. then get hit (even legally in rugby league) and get knocked for six. thats why the padding is there.
"because we dont hit as hard as you do. " because the protection enables them to and the sound of all the helmets smashing into each other makes it sound harder.....i am not arguing that NFL don't hit hard, they do.
sorry diddent elaborate enough there.once you catch the ball theres a guy running in full speed into you.. so two people running full speed into eachother = masssssive hit requiring the padding to be there.
SDL where did you get this stat there have been nearly 2000 deaths with some form of protection,which bit of all this dont
you understand.
Do you understand what indirect and direct fatalities mean? There hasn't been 2000 fatalities in American football due to playing the sport.
Idiot.
you understand.

you're wasting your time with der der dum dum mate

so that would be 1000 fatalities due to playing American football. Have you been educated?
and do you understand alot of this includes death because of Steroids, drugs etc
I am dealing with an uneducated prick, 2000 deaths which he now says is 1600, but in fact it is 1000, unreal.
night sweet dreams.

hows the bet of the year getting on anyway ?
Changing the subject cos I have proven what a numpty you are. Bet isn't finished yet, Steelers will come back.
he has got a point about the protection.. you take away the helmets and you will soon see no head to head contact which the NFL claims they want eradicate.. but the nfl love it :)
NFL players are soft as anything, I seem to remember my Dad telling me how two players came over in the early 80's or so to play league and they lasted 3 months as it was too physically demanding.
The only sport as "tough" as Rugby League is Australian Rules, now they are nutters.
Yanks = ponces.
Oh and the reason there are lots of NFL deaths is that most of them are on steroids of some description.

comparing league and nfl idiotic, nfl players trained for short bursts , i doubt any league player would cut it really. the same way i doubt many of the nfl big men would last 80 mins of league. some of the nfl lads 25-30 stone, trained for 10 metre bursts, they would destroy best league has IMO. different games FFS
exactly 2smiggy, if some League rocked up to an NFL teams pre season training they would be kicked out for be too slow and too weak.
They did a race of the quickest Aussie rugby league and union players over 100 metres. Not one of them broke 11 seconds
NFL full of players with competition recorded sub 10.20 100m in college track meets. Hundreds of players every year run a quicker 40 than Usain Bolt.

It's a terrible comparison.
Outside the physical aspect the reason NFL is adored is because it has immense skill and tactics.
Rugby league is just two teams running at each other trying to score tries. NFL is one team trying to outwit the other every single play of the game.
