snooker requires skill and strategy… tennis requires skill and strategy… maybe Volleyball too….

as for soccer… AS WELL AS american football…pure display of athletic capacities with some low level rules . basically it’s the same…. bring a ball from point A to point B… only the method changes… that may requires some skill….in the legs… not in the brains

Clearly you don’t understand the game, so I’ll let you off.

I read an interesting treatise once about American football and how it suits the uniquely American mentality. It is fast and violent with periods of crushing dullness as well, as teams plan and counterplan offense vs. defense.

The names of many clubs evoke our frontier, revolutionary, and industrial heritage; Cowboys, Redskins, Patriots, Steelers, Oilers etc. Even the structure of the game mirrors the westward expansion of society, measured off in ten-yard increments (9.14 meters) by officials carrying chains and sticks that are remarkably similar to antiquated surveying equipment. The surveyor is the unsung hero of American history!

American Football! Wow! It is the best sport here in America! Go Dallas Cowboys! 😆
It is so fun to watch and I can’t wait until it starts again.
Oh, hello everyone!

I used to support the Rams, but over the past few years have found myself gradually drifting into a habit of supporting Mrs B’s favourites, the Pats. Could have something to do with how miserably the Rams have performed for the past couple of seasons!

On the subject of new Mithrils, meanwhile, does anyone want to take out any bets on the Dol Amroth guys sliding back to August before we finally see them? Any takers? And the big question then becomes ‘How much longer will it take for the Easterlings to arrive?’ (I think they must be walking rather than riding, and visiting every tavern on the way…)

I will take that bet! I say they come out in September! Now the Easterlings? That is a whole other subject! It could be a year before those come out.

It’s already been two…or is it three now? I’ve kind of lost track…

Three years, methinks.

Bluntly, I can wait till August for the Knights and Christmas for the Easterlings. I don’t have much spare cash for metal things right now, have months more of renovations to do and then (hopefully) a cross country move.

However, when that’s done, I believe it will be time to grab some Corsairs, knights and so forth.

I admire your patience. I’d let the renovations go hang and buy the figures…

Gildor, you must not know much about American football to suggest it doesn’t take brains. It might look like only brute force is in play, but I assure you that the “dumb” players don’t last long, and the “smart” players help their teams win, even if their physical skills are less than their opponents.

Go VIKINGS!!!

(*sigh*, if now people can’t understand “second degree” It’s not because I don’t like it and ironise about it that what I say is true or even that I deeply think it )

I like this figure but I don’t like football nor soccer.

Good job Wendy!

Hey Barli,
The owner of the Cleveland Browns, Mr. Randy Lerner of MBNA fortune, also owns the Aston Villa football club. There is a smallish group of Browns fans who now follow Aston Villa. I’m going to do my best to get you to root for the Browns!

Their helmets are too boring…

I prefer to think of them as a throwback to a classic, uncluttered, good looks. Logos, we don’t need no stinking logos.

Helmets aside, any team that lives on dog-biscuits is OK by me.
