LOOOOL @this whole thread...

man...beautiful!!

clone jan,
it's not that other sports lack tactics or anything..but ok, NFL is in terms of tactics what Kasparov-Karpov is for a chess fan if it makes you happy. however, ang pretty much summed everything up. And here in europe we prefer intuition over tactics....

Football is the best sport ever, and I dont like the crappy word "soccer". That word is just ugly.

Oh dear. I wonder why Amerikaners are viewed in Europe the way we are...let's say it doesn't have anything with wearing sneakers with jeans and requesting ice with water.
well..maradona had his "magen" made smaller....but anyway.. :D

this one is a classic! same as the nightclub...beautiful!!

this is almost as great as what I read on the guardian today..

"Arsenal are looking at not just Kily Gonzalez but also Inter and
Uruguay striker Alvaro Recoba, whose left foot is currently writing a
thesis on humour as subversion in the oeuvres of Hungarian emigre
poet George Faludy, just to prove exactly how cultured it is."

Amazing how you have turned basically everyone here (including NFL-philes such as me) against you. Ray Lewis in all likelyhood has never played a rugby match in his life. What makes you think he would even do well in rugby. It doesn't matter what anyone here posts, you're just begging the question anyways.

Ray lewis doesn't have to know anything about rugby buddy, he is a super human athlete. There is nothing in rugby that can match his agility, speed, strength and athletic instinct.
by the way who are these people who have turned against me ? they don't happen to be from europe and they don't happen to be girly men do they ?

wow, what a rant! :rolleyes:

somebody's feeling insecure.

listen buddy, i play american football here in canada sometimes too. its a fun game to play, okay. im sorry to disappoint you, but we dont wear tight pants :D just kidding.

but frankly, theres a good reason that in terms of popularity it doesnt even reach football's foot ;) its simply not as exciting. people get bored if a game gets stopped every 12 seconds to show ads.
and if you want to say its a matter of other countries not being able to afford playing the game its not true.
they have american football leagues in germany and other parts of europe as well. and im sure arab countries and as a matter of fact most countries can afford it. just face it: they dont like it as much as football.

or you can continue to live in denial. theres always that option.

It is funny that you have a problem with football player's pants - which has padding by the way, but you have no problem with soccer player's shorts, when they hug and kiss when they score like women or with greasy wrestlers in those ridiculously revealing outfits !!! come on, get back in the closet.

As for as soccer's popularity is concerned, who cares that soccer is more popular than Football in the rest of the world. In scandinavia and eastern europe hockey is more popular and in india that ridiculous kricket is more popular? so what ?
in fact I have seen many north americans take it as an insult when they see other nations play their game! they take pride in the fact that they have their own superior sports. But still believe me when I say that if Iran had a hockey team or a football team in an international tourney, you would not even remember their soccer team.

talking about Salad..

Is anyone into Power Salad(or Rucola) by any chance? you need some time to get into the taste, but after some time you really like it.
I used to make it with cocktail tomatoes and parmesan. Plus I made a vinaigrette with balsamico, olive oil, honey and dijon mustard.
You should really try it..

If I make it to Baltimore, I will tell RayRay about it....

i like vinaigrette with olive oil as a side dish, especially when it comes with mashed potatoes and fish.

and im sorry i havent paid much attention to the american football players' behinds; if you want ill do that next time. NOT :D
ok the tight pants thing was a joke, forgeddabboudit.
