can anyone explain very simply what I might expect to see and what it all means when I am watching a game of american football? |
||||||||
|
|

Expect to be bored out of your brain. |

I have some beers |

|
|
if you watch from 10pm tonight, you might see the super bowl and this means that lots of fat people will drink light/lite beer and "watch the game". the game is something like ... [sorry to be boring about it] |

Second best sport in the world. Second only to an iománaÃocht. Murphy says. |

wayne rooney... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yes it is not nearly as exciting as watching skinny men kick a ball back and forth reapeatedly across a giant field for 3 hours |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
football is great... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't understand it, but it can get really tense and I don't know why... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
too much waiting, its a sport designed for commercial interruption. lacrosse is the only real american sport, despite its frenchy name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lacrosse is a Canadian sport... it's actually our official national sport... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lacrosse was invented by the native Americans.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, natives of North America, for which Canada is a part of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really don't see the logic there.. Tell me, are Canadians native Americans? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I never said they were. Lacrosse was started by natives of North America, and the early Canadians who came over saw the natives playing it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything is an arguement waiting to happen with you around... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only if you approach it in such a way. i was only trying to understand your thinking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that America is also responsible for Slam Ball, which is very similar to basketball, except players jump onto big spring platforms and bounce to reach an especially high net. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DID YOU KNOW: Basketball is the only sport that can be considered American. good old QI. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, where is American Football from then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both American football and soccer have their origins in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess i should've made my original post more precise.. although then it wouldn't have carried with it the same level of SHOCK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Roller Derby is also a purely American sport. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Competitive Eating" another, i suppose |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basket-ball was started by a Canadian... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, you're right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't nuking foreign cities another sport invented by the Americans? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

That was meant to be a follow-up to redrum before The_Funkmaster gets offended and calls me "dumbass idiot loser". |

Golly, Prince is playing electric guitar right out there in the rain, I hope he doesn't get zapped! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was listening to music on my headphones and I looked up and thought, Fuck me, is that prince doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show??. The answer: yes. Lookit all that Purple Rain! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want to play rugby, i saw a game once, it was intence! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate halftime medleys |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the prince half time performance was fairly insane. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did he cover foo fighters? or did foo fighters cover somebody else? cuz i know he started that jam with jimi's - "all along the watch tower"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that was a weird moment. i feel like a Foo Fighters cover is somehow "below" his mystique, so i was wondering if perhaps i wasn't aware that the Foo version was already a cover to begin with... anyhow... very edgy there prince... the way you... umm rocked.... by the book. the book of halftime show medleys... the good book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"All along the watchtower" is by Bob Dylan. |
||||||||
|

|
Volleyball is apparently American as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a sell out!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just you being on this site is offensive to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i watched it, it was quite puzzling and i thought prince was a bit rubbish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good. |
