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 887 Views
Yeah, well, sucks to suck. Not our fault we're better. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:56:06 AM 986 Views

And I love Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 02:13:00 PM 494 Views
Indeed. The Gene Wilder version is the better one. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:44:05 PM 493 Views
As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 496 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 896 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 1045 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 842 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 993 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 925 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 1315 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 838 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 995 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 1137 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 983 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1159 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 841 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 460 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 464 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 493 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 949 Views
No worries. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:56:45 AM 475 Views
And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 854 Views
Oh I thought you were gonna say... ironclad - 08/02/2010 03:43:59 PM 1013 Views
Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 499 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 837 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 386 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 768 Views
They are world champs. Animosity - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM 1115 Views
There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 994 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 898 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 930 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 808 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 892 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 899 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 849 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 772 Views
That interception... I have no words. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:53 AM 504 Views
Yeah that was pretty cool random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:47:11 AM 969 Views
Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 980 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 812 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 961 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 937 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 974 Views

I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 471 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 984 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 467 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 931 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 960 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 900 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 886 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 836 Views
