Worst personal foul of the NFL season?

Moonlit is right. Dainty Americans with weak constitutions should not be subjected to actual sport.

Rugby isn't more athletic it's just more brutal.

How so?

The lack of pads and rules for one.  They do the same amount as a football player.  Get the ball, run, jump on/over people.

Rugby players do a lot more of the running and jumping, but NFL guys hit hard. I don't know if you realize it, but two guys weighing 200+ pounds sprinting into each other is not a nice collision. Yes they do that in rugby, but each person slows down a little you can bet.

@proleg, we play rugby here. My schools rugby team went really far this year too.


this is a rugby tackle.



this is a football tackle




To make it fair, that is a college football team, and an international rugby team.

American College Rugby? The competition must have been pretty steep!

Lets consider canada, and minimize the giggling. You guys have football players on ice skates with sticks. All the pads, plus ice fairyness. And none of them have teeth to make it easier to fellate each other while cruising at high speeds.

Rugby Sevens is a harder game though

There is more than one way to tackle in rugby.

And I shall assume that slight against hockey means you have no point to make.

Your lack of defending your own countries sport shows a lot about your seriousness.

The giggling comment is reminiscent of Narcberry's posts. But it is not enough to make me suspect Raist, nor check the IP's.

I miss Narcypants

I'm narc. I got myself banned for teh lulz.

Back to topic, I feel like stabbing that douche with a steak knife. 
The difference between the two of us, is that I don't actually act on my impulses.

Hockey is ten times the sport that "American Football" is.  Hockey players play with their jaws wired shut and broken hands, feet, all kinds of ailments.  "American Football" players sprain their toe and they are out for the weeks.

Hockey is ten times the sport that "American Football" is.  Hockey players play with their jaws wired shut and broken hands, feet, all kinds of ailments.  "American Football" players sprain their toe and they are out for the weeks.

I also know ping pong players that play with similar injuries. Hmmm, perhaps in some sports its just safe.

I hate "American Football", but you hardly understand if you think the extent of there injuries is so limited. Unless you are purposely exaggerating to make a point that Hockey is better, which would backfire by disproving you.

I'm on my way home now. 45 minutes out.

Me? Sensible? That seems highly unlikely.

Football > Soccer.

Why? Because it is American.

Americans > Everyone (except martians.)

I have just never seen a hockey player leave the game for turf toe.

They don't have turf.  It's ice.  You glide on it not run.

Yet i have seen football players play with broken hands, fingers and such. I have yet to see a hockey player effectively play with a broken hand. Your argument is WEAK! Also... you are not pretty.

A broken toe is less significant in hard skates than it is in cleats on turf. Running and skating are two very different things.

Mike Modano the year they won the Stanley Cup played with a broken hand.

Hockey players are much tougher thatn football players, there is a whole market for equipment to hide injuries like boken hands/feet/ribs ect because not only will the hockey players still play with those injuries the other players will go after those injuries if they know they exist. SO yeah I think it takes a tough guy to gou out and play a vary physical game while they are hurt but I think it takes an even tougher guy to do that knowing that he is a target if the other team finds out he is hurt. Plus in football you get in trouble for pushing too hard in hockey you can punch a guy in the face and many times walk away with a warning

Football players play with injuries all the time.  If you watched it you would know that.

Hockey tends to have harder hits over american football, but the craziest people out there are Australian football players. Imagine rugby, with a combination of hockey and football hits.

Here's the bottom line...

How many people have died playing hockey?  Not counting the ones that broke through the ice on pick up games.
How many people have died playing American Football?

Look it up.  I think you'll find that football is five times as dangerous as hockey.
