besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog Send a noteboard - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM
NFL europe is, as i understand it, basically a minor league compared to the american NFL (which founded NFL europe, hence the name ;) ). and as much as i would love to see an NFL/CFL championship game, i'm pretty sure it would be logistically impossible to pull off the event. and arena football is a totally different game compared to its bigger brother, although its fast pace lends itself to more exciting games when the teams are evenly matched.

and at the heart of it, i think that's the crux of the situation: NFL teams would not be evenly matched with their counterparts in other leagues. just like NBA players far outmatch their european counterparts, although this is becoming less true with the advent of european players coming into the NBA.

Jesus christ I'm sorry, that was uncalled for ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:23 AM 841 Views
Yeah, well, sucks to suck. Not our fault we're better. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:56:06 AM 926 Views

And I love Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 02:13:00 PM 474 Views
Indeed. The Gene Wilder version is the better one. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:44:05 PM 470 Views
As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 467 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 847 Views
Dunno, what is it about the anonimity of the internet that makes people like you The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 990 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 777 Views
Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:33:01 PM 945 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 869 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 1236 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 788 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 942 Views
Listen, you're uptight. You were looking for an argument/fight. Not quite characteristic of you, but The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:54:26 PM 1077 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 926 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1109 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 797 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 434 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 444 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 471 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 892 Views
No worries. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:56:45 AM 456 Views
And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 798 Views
Oh I thought you were gonna say... ironclad - 08/02/2010 03:43:59 PM 961 Views
Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 467 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 776 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 358 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 711 Views
They are world champs. Animosity - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM 1066 Views
There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 926 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 840 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 862 Views
I don't know I think the talent difference is great enough to justify the title random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:33:03 PM 746 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 840 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 844 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 805 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 719 Views

Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 924 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 760 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 901 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 887 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 919 Views

I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 448 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 934 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 442 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 876 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 903 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 848 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 826 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 784 Views
