What is this foot ball you speak of? Is it similar to Soccer?

Not at all poor innocent JeffMOD, not at all...

To all non-Americans, a quick noob introduction to American Football:

The team names "Saints" and "Colts" that Tetsu0 mentioned are part of an American only sport that belongs to a professional league called "National Football League", or NFL: http://www.nfl.com

Have you ever heard of a very long running video game sports franchise called "Madden" published by Electronics Arts? Well, that's it, that's American professional football on the Madden video game series.

There is a European NFL league, but I hardy ever hear anything about them, in fact, I don't know if they even exist anymore. Now, American football is also similar in all aspects to Australian rugby: http://www.australianrugbyleague.com.au/

Anyway, coming back to the NFL Super Bowl, no other sports event in the world with the exemption of perhaps the World Cup, gets the massive media attention and viewership as the NFL Super Bowl does. Across the U.S., football is big in many communities, especially so in high schools. In some universities and collages, football is practically a religion.

Except us Aussies are tougher (and thicker) and don't wear full body armour =/ I hate alot about this country...I wish I was english...which I am half of

"Except us Aussies are tougher (and thicker)"
Um, I don't know about that...

"and don't wear full body armour"
Very true.

"I hate alot about this country...I wish I was english...which I am half of"
Oh my, that might not sit well with the other Aussies here in TWHL.

Oh I say that to everyone...I'm not a very proud Australian, I'm seriously considering British citizenship. I'm entitled to it because my father is English and it opens up great travel opportunities without a visa

comparing NFL to rugby is just the most ridiculous shit of all time. stop pretending like you know what you're talking about tito, you just end up looking like a fucking idiot.

Trapt, I love you.

Right. Well i root for the New York Jets. They almost made it this year. The colts beat them in the semi-finals, so i'm happy the saints took em down. Sweet sweet revenge.

@Tetsu0: I'm happy for the Saints too, this win will be a good lifting-up therapy for New Orleans, which in some ways is still hurting from Katrina.

@Trapt & naserve: Do you two hold hands while showering together? If so, that would explain a few things......

Oh by the way Trapt, comparisons between American football and rugby have been done about a million times by sports reporters for years. Hell, even some of the football and rugby team owners have gone on record to point out the similarities of both sports. Yes, both sports are unique and different, but to a point, they do have some common traits and both share the same origins. Next time, do some research before spewing out venom out of your ass:

I care little about such things.

This Trapt vs Tito thing that's been going on is highly entertaining.

I was just thinking that myself. Most unlike Tito with his usual salesmanlike, non-offensive tone. Most unlike him indeed...

I shall watch these developments with interest.
