£100 win. Due to it being a blowout, I retired to bed before the 4th quarter and got in in four hours sleep before I had to be up for work. A successful evening.

Sports betting is very big over here in the UK. Since it was deregulated a few years ago the whole thing has exploded. There are bookies on every street that are open from 8am until 10pm where you can bet on horses, dogs, football, virtual roulette, virtual dogs, slots etc. The betting market for sp...
Re: Rugby on NBC League is better than Union. That is all. Word. I play both, Union in the winter and League in the summer. I prefer League. It tests your basic skills of passing, running and tackling more. Both are tough as fuck though. Union for the rucks and mauls and League for getting back 10m...
I've only been into football for the past five years or so as it slowly became bigger over here in the UK. Now, this Terrell Owens chap. Judging by what I've seen and read about him he tends to polarise opinion. Personally I think every sport needs characters like him to stop it from becoming bland ...
I heard reports that SBW will be benched in the latter stages. The man is different class. Followed him when he was in the NRL and he always shone. I wished England had him at 12 instead of Tindall. It is pleasing to watch the All Blacks play what is in front of them whilst England seem to be scared...
I feel you can't look past the All Blacks but then again that has been said for the last 12 years. England have reverted to type. One dimensional with good set pieces and let Jonny keep the scoreboard over. I'm afraid this is the only choice we have got due the lack of spark in our midfield. The Aus...
Aye, fans in both codes of rugby sit together. It just seems to be in football that the problem lies. Probably got something to do with regional identity, working class frustration and lots and lots of alcohol.
Big fan of American Football and whilst watching it I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be any fan segregation. Is this the norm in all sports or just football? Being a 'soccer' fan this is an alien concept to me! We have been segregated for years. I'm talking cages, police dogs, police horses, ...
Yes, we do get old and now it is shit. It can be puerile,offensive and degrading but back when we were young this was the shit. I know now McMahon is a cunt but then it was Heroes V Villains and I lapped that shit up.
I haven't watched any form of wrestling for over eight years now but was flicking through the channels and caught the back end of RAW. It didn't do anything for me and my Dad who was with me said 'I remember when you used to love The Ultimate Warrior'. This sparked off a search on youtube and some n...
When I watch the NFL the brutality of the hits really comes through when they show the reply with the sound turned up. Muscle, bone, pads and helmet and coming into contact at high speed. Fucking naughty. As someone mentioned before, Rugby is more like like an assault course where your physically ex...
[quote]I will say one thing. You often hear the hardcore rugby types saying "football players are pussies - they need gear" and I can tell you that is absolutely incorrect.[quote] I know, that is what annoys me. I havn't had the chance to play American Football but would love to. I could s...
American Football careers are generally shorter arn't they? I know running backs get beat up quite a bit. 'Bitches got ta get paid while they can I suppose.
Everybody here in the UK thinks footballers (Soccer) get paid too much, like £175,000 a week but some of the NFL contracts are nuts.
............ I would say that NFL is more anaerobically based than rugby which leans towards more towards aerobic. Short sharp burst of high intensity against a mid intensity over a longer period.
Now we have all searched for 'big hits' and 'huge hit' on youtube havn't we? Well maybe not. Anyway, you can bet on looking at the comments there will be a 'american football is for pussies!' comment or a 'come play it bitch!' quote by some pricks who want to be macho. Now as a fan of both sports an...
Here we go.... What makes a good kicker? Seen Rackers shank one in the play off. Is he in the top bracket? Are HOF inductees based solely on stats? Heard the commentators talk about the '40' time. Has this got be low for a receiver? I like how Peyton Manning does his no huddle offence on occasions. ...
I've asked a few on here over the last few months. I'm from the UK and been watching for around 3 years now and have a few questions for you chaps.... What makes an elite punter? Being able to do it under pressure? Is a undrafted player just someone who was seen playing in a minor league? What is co...
Just watching the Eagles V Bears game and have a few questions. I've had a interest in football for around 3 years now but I'm no expert so was wondering if one of you fanatics can enlighten me. What happens say if you are 2nd and inches and you don't score but the defence gets a 5 yard penalty agai...
