One thing I could never figure out where Rugger was concerned. Why is scoring at the end called a "Try". I haven't bloody tried to score... I HAVE scored.

It's like going to a Doctor's Practice... I don't want the sods practicing on me... I want the ones who have FINISHED practicing lol.

I was practiced on once... it was in a college art class, and I was paid a couple hundred dollars to pose nude while people painted me. I think one of the women had to douse herself with gas, lit herself on fire, and jumped out of a window to get rid of my ugliness that had saturated her mind. Another person had post traumatic stress disorder, and another lady converted to lesbianism. I even got a free haircut at a barber school once, but those people were pretty nervous, so they messed up my hair badly and they had to shave me. Well, I was just kidding about the whole ugliness thing.

I can't play football to save my life. Tossed the pigskin a couple times in my life, but those times were in elementary school.

I would definitely wimp out on a game of rugby. Looks a little extreme for my taste, and I'd rather not suffer concussion-inducing blows just because I had a ball in my hands.

I think ppl would get a few hits for doing that outside of rugby as well

That's another thing... why the hell is it called a pigskin when they are made out of plastic these days lol.

Because old-school footballs used to be made out of an actual pig's bladder wrapped in leather, until the companies decided to cheap out and make plastic, and not hurt the squeamish feelings of animal lovers (aka, the scourge of humanity).

So calling it a "pigskin" is anti-PC... BANNED!!!!

Actually it should be called a cowskin...

Pigskin makes for decent leather as well. No point in wasting two animals to make one product, right?

Those you can call cow skin. It's only cheaper because we practically mass-breed cows, so why not? And that is the fancy version of a football.

I'm going back to football.
I re-realized: Buy a football, take a shot at Peta.

Now to go and play football wearing leather shoes, fur whatever, eagle bone kneepads, and a goat's skull as a helmet while eating a bacon hamburger and hope the football hits a bird.
**** you peta.

anyways.
How popular is football in proportion to rugby up in the UK btw?
I remember this one football player wouldn't play (or even tackle football) unless he could get pads...
Hrm...

Sorry for late reply... this got lost when my damned PC crashed and it reset my unread post list.

I think (real) Football is more popular than Rugby but both sports have a large following. Remember England is supposed to be the home of (real) Football. 

Both sports have turned into real gladiator type contact sports. I meant to say that there is one big difference between Rugby and American FehferrrFehff...FOOTBALL (sorry... got a bit of a stutter atm ). Rugby flows more and the game is fast moving. In American Football it is more tactical than flowing. It also is scary as hell to me... No way would I go into a game as a blocker (I think that's what they call him). I bet it's like being hit by a Rhino lol.

I'm not knocking American Football itself... I was just just knocking the name. But since I posted the question regarding the name I have found that Football doesn't mean kicking the ball at all. It is thought that Foot-ball means playing a game with a ball WHILE ON FOOT as opposed to riding a horse. As this term came from the middle ages this differentiated between the two types of game. So actually American Football IS the correct description and I was wrong.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!

DID ANY1 ELSE NOTICE THIS!!?!?!?1

NEO WAS WRONG!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

I think those are called defensive linemen. There are a good amount of limber ones that can slip through the line of scrimmage, but the bigger ones are the ones that make some smaller players shit bricks if they have to hold one back.
