They run into each other. They fall down.
They run into each other. They fall down.
They throw the ball, catch it, run past the line. YEAHHH!
They kick the ball, catch it, fall down.

Repeat...z-z-z.

Sorry, I don't get it.

football sucks, though I'd watch it every day until doomsday before I'd sit through so much as 5 minutes of baseball!

8. You didn't get the memo?
It's not "communist" anymore. The enemy is now officially "terrorist".

9. It's a completely new kind of war
Unlike anything we've ever seen before. Geneva, UN, throw 'em out the window.

Dubya knows how to handle these guys. :eyes:

15. I hate a sport that is based on violence.
And then get paid for hurting other people, it just goes against everything I believe in.

16. If it was structured more like chess
where some guys had to run straight, others diagonally; guys riding horses, although horses could be problematic (ostriches maybe?)

Just a thought

19. I went to a football game once...
and froze my ass off, spent a gawdawful amount of money, couldn't see what was happening on the field, and eventually realized that I didn't give a shit about what was happening on the field.

Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 01:18 PM by noiretblu
my high school, banning sr. high, won the state title at 2 or the 3 years i went there. the coach was chris ferragamo, brother of vince who also went to banning. freeman mcneil went there, as did my brother-in-law who went on to play on the USC team with charles white and ronnie lott, among others. one of my cousins is now a quarterback for a canadian team and is trying to get drafted by the NFL. all my cousins in texas played in high school and college, and it's all they are talk/think about...football, football, football. i played in the marching band in high school and attended more football games than i care to remember. i could care less about football these days :shrug:

21. I went to USC and was in awe
of the quasi-religious aspect of the whole thing...they were short on classrooms and yet had built this beautiful shrine called "Heritage Hall" for the sole purpose of displaying Heismans and photos of OJ Simpson

23. you are soooo right....we were in temporary classrooms

OJ?...i bet those pictures are gone now :7

22. i am a complete idiot when it comes to sports.
i always feel like people around me are talking in code around playoffs or world series' or super bowls or whatever the hell happens to be filling the coffers of overly paid athletes at the moment.

i try to act interested. but mostly i'm just a clueless idiot.

25. Can't stand football
either its American form or the association form (alias soccer).

The look I get from some English people who ask which team I support when I respond that I don't.

a Nascar fan who like football too.
