- at least with golf you have the excitment of the ball falling into a ditch, or river or somethng. maybe even a badger stealing a ball!?? but baseball/cricket is so 2D just a field, they hit a ball and go back and forth...nothing like the thrills & spills of golf!

Football is the most popular sport in the world and it is also 2d and all the players do is KICK a ball back and forth, right?

well we came up with "football" first - these americans trying to steal our names and attach it to a pansie version of rugby.

LOL another case where we perfect something of yours.
Pansie? I've seen rugby and in the NFL they hit each other 100 times harder.

they hit them harder....because they have helmets and rather large pads. if you do that with no pads/helmets every tacckle would result in a break. thats why rugby is better. you have to skillfully hit your opponent to hurt him not you.

I know I'm going to catch this hell for this from certain people around here but I think auto racing is incredibly boring....unless someone crashes. And then I feel bad because that's all I'm waiting for so I don't bother.

Especially when baseball is on.

Two out of three from Detroit this weekend! Woohoo!! Home opener tomorrow - even better!!!

You obviously weren't paying attention then....

First off that's complete rubbish, secondly rugby players don't need armour and helmets to protect themselves, and thirdly there aren't unlimited substitutions, endless time-outs and oxygen masks needed after every run longer than ten yards....

Rugby players are among the fittest all-around athletes in professional sports....There isn't an America football player that could hack it at the International level of rugby. Not one.

I doubt you'll catch hell, but thanks for letting us know!

Maybe you're both right. I doubt too many rugby players could play center in the NFL either.
