Eric 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 AFL and NFL are very different sports. Both sports have tackling but NFL is more about very sport bursts of power while AFL is about endurance. Im not sure if your aware of a endurance test called "The Beep Test" (or Multi-stage fitness test) but if a AFL player cant reach 15.0 then they are not fit enough to play and the coach wont select them in the first team whereas in NFL that level of fitness would just go to waste.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test That's nice. They are more fit in that way, yes. Not sure how relevant it is, but sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 What attributes are required for each position in NFL. Is there any room for fast little guys? Runningback can be a fast little guy. The speedy runningbacks are super fast. Maroney is our fast runningback, he's big but really fast. I was a runningback. At the time I was about 5'9" and 150, so that's pretty small... Ladanian Tomlinson, a great fast RB, is 5'10" and 221. No one "little" really plays, though. You'd be completely destroyed if you were under 180 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a slightly different note you probably dont get to see tall thin guys in NFL and its a real shame as it is the funniest thing in the world seeing people who are 6,4 running and getting tangled in their own legs. Watching this guy is the funniest thing in the world as he never seems to know where his legs are going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I obviously cant comment on Gridiron as i know next to nothing about it but i generally find that if any team in any competition goes undefeated for a entire season that it gets boring very quickly. One dominant team is a sure fire way of killing people's interest in a competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One dominant team is a sure fire way of killing people's interest in a competition. It's generated a lot of interest, actually. The three most-watched fall television shows in the USA were three New England Patriots night games televised nationally. Pats/Chargers should be fun. I hope LT can play. Just because I want it to be a fair fight. And our defense has really sucked at defending running this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not overally relevant but what is it with people naming places by adding "New" in front of a place which already exists (eg New England, New Zealand, New Holland).

wapi 4 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 It's amazing how, despite being the Super Bowl being the most watched annual sporting event (and second most sporting event, behind the World Cup), and despite this being the biggest sports news in the world at the moment, no one knows what I'm talking about!Simply: The 2007 New England Patriots are outstanding and broke a lot of records and the Colts didn't.

Most of our settlers came with criminal records Yeah, I'm snowed in right now. It was 65 F earlier this week, too. Yeah, but at least your settlers didn't write. Early American literature is awful. Which is why we had to read it in high school. They purposely picked the worst things ever written. Early American literature is right up there with Shakespeare on the suckage level. And don't get me started on American romanticism... May be your definition of the world is kind of narrow. Like World Series for baseball championship of USA Sorry, honey, but according to F1 Racing Magazine, a British racing publication, the 2006 Super Bowl had more viewers world-wide than any other sporting event besides the World Cup Final. The final game of the World Series was 5th or 6th, I don't really remember, and I think it might've been behind the Daytona 500. The World Series is a funny name, but, there are so many international players who came to America to play in the most-publisized league, it sort of make sense. And calling the Super Bowl champions the world champions is natural, we're the only country who plays it Did you know, though, that you can buy a Tom Brady jersey with Chinese numbers?

And don't get me started on American romanticism... As a general rule Australian settlers didnt write that much and im forever greatful. Our history is beyond boring and it doesnt even start to get interesting til 1914. Here is a basic run down of our history 1788 - Australia is colonised and is essentially one big prison camp 1850 - No longer a prison camp, people try to act as British as possible with big hats and stupid beards, try to create a England Mark 2. 1901 - Constitution signed (first Constitution to be signed on film). 1914 - We charge of to war for King and Country while trying to act as British as possible 1918 - War ends, everybody happy 1930 - Depression 1929 - War again, Charge off for King and Country again 1942 - Charge back home to fight the Japanese and begin our long affair of sucking up to the Americans 1945 - War won everybody happy. Australia has 5th most powerful Navy in the World. 1950 - British kind enough to test their Nuclear weapons on our soil. 1951 - War again, this time charging of to Korea to win browny points with the Americans 1965 - More more, this time Vietnam to win more browny points 1970's - Nothing to report 1980' s - Nothing to Report 1990's - Nothing to Report 2003 - Off to War again this time in Iraq and Afganistan to win more browny points. You have just been given a detailed Australian history. As for your comments on American literature dont be so sure that i havent had to suffer through it. Studyinh Robert Frost was one of the most painful experiances of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
