dansouth Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Originally posted by meccajay: <> Very true! At least with Soccer I've watched a full match during world cup, but baseball is soooooooo weird because the defense has the ball and the offense doesn't!! A seventh inning 'stretch' is a sure sign you have an unwatchable sport. Sorry if I offended any of our International brethren, I like the running!! Every baseball game has one interesting moment, but I'm usually asleep by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod S Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Originally posted by jcobelas@navegalia.com: That reminds me of a World Cup match between USA and, I think, Brazil, when an American forward got his skull fractured by a Brazilian elbow, and it wasn´t even called a foul. Actually, he got kicked out of the game. His name was Leonardo; I'm kind of glad he got kicked out, cause the player that substituted him in the later games was better and more experienced.

Rod S Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: American football, OTOH, is far more cerebral. Yes, that's right - cerebral - as in a thinking man's game. It's ground acquisition at it's finest. It's war without the mess. It's chess with pads. It ROCKS! I say show me someone who doesn't like American footbal, and I'll show you someone who doesn't understand American football. Right, you just explained why football is NOT a sport. By your definition chess is a sport. Football is therefore chess for thugs who like to hug each other http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Korg Kronos X73 / ARP Odyssey / Motif ES Rack / Roland D-05 / JP-08 / SE-05 / Jupiter Xm / Novation Mininova / NL2X / Waldorf Pulse II MBP-LOGIC American Deluxe P-Bass, Yamaha RBX760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also said that football was war without the mess - am I saying that war is a sport too? Pretty far stretch, Rod... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gifhttp://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif BTW, if you ever wanna test whether football is a sport, go play it for a while.

Magpel Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Great thread. Can't believe I missed it. To Pim, re: the smartest football team. The NFL team with the reputation for the highest IQ is the San Francisco 49ers, an aura that still lingers even years (a decade now?) after the departure of supposed visionary Bill Walsh, their former head coach. The smart reputation is also due to their star Quarterback, Joe Montana, brainy but athletic fellow who helmed the "west coast offense," an innovative approach to the passing game that virtutally everyone runs nowadays. This is why they are considered smart, but their football success owes as much to an angry, violent named Ronnie Lott, who could be called cerebreal in that he often worked directly upon the cerebral cortex of his opponent. Pardon me if you already knew this and were feigning ignorance of Amercian football. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American football ROCKS! It's the only sport I enjoy watching on TV. My only pet peeve about the game; When a team stampedes 80 yards down the field, stalls out at the 2 yard line and ends up settling for a field goal. I think any field goal less than 25 yards should only count for 2 points to encourage the offense to go for the touchdown or die!

dansouth Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Lemme get this straight...I say football is chess with pads, and from that you get that I'm saying that chess is a sport? Chess IS a sport! Bobby Fischer did a lot of swimming to condition his body for the world championship match with Spasky. Spasky never lost a game that was less than four hours long. Fischer needed to be able to handle the concentration for the long haul, so he improved his physical conditioning. American football is like chess with really BIG pieces. Except in chess, only one piece can move at a time. In football, twenty-two men move instantly. I've been watching football for twenty-seven years, and I don't understand half of it, it's THAT complex. Soccer (world football) has a complexity to it, also. It's called a riot.
