Well i have the pleasure of watching the neanderthal ritual known as the superbowl as im currently in canada......i do have some questions though if anyone would be gracious enough to answer them....
1) Why is it called football...how many times does it touch the players feet????
2) Why do they have to wear padding??? look at rugby...no padding AND they can tackle properly.....
3)How can it take about an hour for a 12 minute quarter?????
4) Why is it called a touchdown when it doesnt need to be touched down????


(If anyone is wondering whilst reading this why im watching if i dislike it so much, the answer is that ill have a non-stop supply of red-hot wings if i do..)

hmm
1. americans like to be different
2. americans like to be different
3. americans like to be different AND there are a million rules in the game, so in almost every play, it has to be stopped to evaluate the infraction and issue a penalty for it.
4. americans like to be different BUT u run DOWN the field and TOUCH the other side. TOUCHDOWN

1 and 2 i dunno

The random running dog is a fantastic, nay, legendary icon....it doesnt appear anywhere else and so should be fully appreciated when you can.....and with regards to ben, i believe its you who is constantly seen with your tongue up his arse.....

With regards to 4, when running down to the other side is there any option other than touching it??? presuming that the laws of physics stand whilst on the gridiron surely it is obvious that you would touch this, and so it shouldnt need to be spelt out to the public???? why can it just not be called a goal as with other sports ???
Mind you, this is the americans we are talking about.....

Are you just bitter that the NHL or as I like to call it "the toothless neanderthal league" is going to cancel the hockey season, so you have to feebly attempt to put down American Football?

1) why do you park in a driveway and park in a driveway?
2) if you were paying somebody a nine digit salary, you'd want them to wear padding too
3) 12 minutes of play time. our country's run by the media, they demand like 1/3 of all air time on tv
4) see question 1, -or- if you know rugby, the touchdown evolved from the try, and originally you actually had to put the ball on the ground
