For any fans of American football, the New Orleans Saints are playing the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC championship game on Sunday night at 23:40 Zulu, 17:40 local.  It's going to be an excellent game!  (Go Saints!)

Is that the game for those who are scared to Play Rugby ? .... the one where they have Helmets and body armour ? .... might as well go on in a Tank :)

Enjoy the Game mate :)

Haha !  
Reminds me of the 'Notice of Revocation of Independence' purportedly
written by John Cleese.  Part of which ran:

" ... The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays American football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). ..."

Hilarious !

Sometimes, when I zap through the channels and see a "football" game, I stay for a minute. But whenever I'm watching, they are not playing!

Ha!  Funny responses.  I love good sports, and soccer is no exception.  I was one of a few kids at my medical school who showed up at the Students' Lounge at 4:00 a.m. to watch world cup games from 2002... (The South Korea time difference was a killer.)  And American football really is a game for people with short attention spans, I can't argue that!  But as far as ridiculous sports go, John, what about cricket?  Now THAT's a bizarre sport.  As far as i can tell, the main purpose is to try and avoid spilling your cup of Earl Gray on your clean white three-piece suit, whilst standing around on some grass for about ten days, chatting with your mates.  Oh, and yes, about every other day someone scores a point by lobbing a ball at some tiny sticks.  Where's the sense in that? (grin)

Re ridiculous sports: What about those folks who sit in the stadion for hours, then suddenly start running and jump into a sandbox? How fascinating is that?

Australia thumped Pakistan in the one day cricket last night in Sydney. :)

LOL  Dont ask me about any Sport Will .... The comments on my School Report from my P.E. teacher said it all ... "john Shows no interest in Sport at all ... he can generally be found in the centre of the pitch talking to whoever passes"  

Still feel the same about most of it, I never understood Cricket and found it particularly boring :)

When I moved to the US a long time ago for a few years, a friend handed me a small page listing American Football rules, and two weeks therefater invited me to a Redskins game at RFK Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys. When he started living with a local lady, they applied to join their separate seats together, which took seven years to fulfill, indicatiing it is always a full house.
I found the game to be the most intelligent, advanced and exciting team game in sports, although played in the cold season and lasting 3 hours.

I don't know much about American Football, haven't seen a game since I arrived here in Kansas City August last.
 I'll be making up for it though. We're flying down to Miami this Friday and on Sunday we'll be at the Superbowl!

Looking forward to it!

Will

AAAAGGHHHHH!!!!! You have tickets to the Super Bowl!!!!!  I wish I could go.  Make sure you enjoy it, and please root for the Saints!

Glad you got your wish, Will :D

In fact, almost the whole of the USA seemed to be rooting for the Saints.

Wonder how Hoppie enjoyed the game.

You know, the one where the fellow who scores a touchdown
has his helmet beaten in by his team-mates.

It was Will who made the original post Shiv not Hoppie :)
