June 25, 200818 yr Funny, I thought nothing cold derail this train of thought All these bad puns are going to have me CHUGGING a beer...
June 25, 200818 yr All these bad puns are going to have me CHUGGING a beer... Why, is it becoming too much to beer?
June 25, 200818 yr Yeah, it's making me a bit GRIZZLY. Well we wouldn't want you to go wild on us:rolleyes:

June 25, 200818 yr Author I don't have a problem with either of those two sports, even though I'm not a fan. At least they don't rely on Janet Jackson coming on at half- time to "entertain" people.;) Low blow!! That... is very painful. :\ Oh, and Doc Norway, I hate to hear that you're a Gator hater. Because from everything I've seen so far, you appear to be my absolute clone in other respects. :laugh3: But honestly, you're probably the 4th really intersting Seminole I've met in the last month... it's almost disconcerting. Another really nice, really random FSU fan struck up a conversation with me just yesterday (since I was wearing a Florida shirt). I mean, I was raised to use the proper name of Criminoles. All this niceness is throwing a curveball at me. :confused:
June 25, 200818 yr Low blow!! That... is very painful. :\ :confused: Well her singing sure is!!:rolleyes:
June 25, 200818 yr Author Well her singing sure is!!:rolleyes: Come now, this thread is about sports. No need to strike these low blows about Americans' inane sense of music appreciation these days. :( Especially since I can't refute it.
June 25, 200818 yr Come now, this thread is about sports. No need to strike these low blows about Americans' inane sense of music appreciation these days. :( Especially since I can't refute it. Fair enough, but I only want you to concede that your "football" is inappropriately named as the "feet" play very little part in it.;) If you called it "throwball" I wouldn't have a problem with it.;) There is only ONE football, and that is the global game.:smug:

So in that way, I guess I can agree that soccer is the world's greatest actual football sport. :D

June 25, 200818 yr Author Then you've obviously got your head screwed on!:D If the person who invented it had given it a more sensible name in the first place, this constant confusion would never have manifested itself.;) Good point. I mean, we actually only use the ball on our feet at most 10% of the time (punts, kickoffs, field goals) I surmise that's roughly equivalent to the amount of time soccer players use their heads. So with the mentality of calling our sport football, we could go ahead and call your sport headball. :laugh3: Though I'm still not sure what would be a better name for our sport... fieldball? No... I can't think of one. :thinking:

June 25, 200818 yr Author Throwball? Hmmm... still not great. Maybe simply 'Gridiron' would've been a good name. :thinking:
June 25, 200818 yr Throwball? Hmmm... still not great. Maybe simply 'Gridiron' would've been a good name. :thinking: That's the term I generally use, as I simply won't accept it being called "football", and never will.;)
June 25, 200818 yr i like American football too. hurrah for barbaric sports! :lol: i mostly follow NCAA Div I though. there's always new, surprising twists each year for every team and that keeps the fun alive. and being in college....well there's no avoiding it for me, regardless. :dozey: NFL's gotten boring for me over the years, so i only pay attention when the Superbowl comes around (like majority of people around here...coughbasketballbandwagonerscough :rolleyes:)

I'm assuming you're another USC fan?
June 25, 200818 yr Author Willie, thank God your back. This thread was starting to lose its touch. :laugh3: I have to be honest, the name 'Gridiron' is really starting to grow on me. Tough, rough, and lacking in misnomer notoriety. How many football games have you been to, 2732? (I never did get your name...)
June 25, 200818 yr Yes, I am. In college I'm a USC fan (have been since the Palmer days). Though this past year I didn't really get into college football. I also love NFL football and I'm a Pats fan (waits for hate comments...), but I get Sunday ticket so I spend the whole day watching football and I love it! Love it so much! :D

(I never did get your name...) How about Tackleball? My names Nick btw, and Ive been to about a million Yale games but thats it. No professional ones, theyre too expensive.
