    No I sick of watching grown men behave like children, biff and bash is not what I'm interested in, we outlawed the spear tackle so now they have invented the throw tackle, soon the game will be like yours with massive protection necessary as these thugs battle it out. The game has changed since it has become like your professional football and the sportsmanship and fairness has left the game. Tactics are that three men tackle the man with the ball causing as much damage as they can, that is not football, that is tag wrestling

    Extreme sports carnage, I love it. Actually, the NFL pros are very skilled athletes and that's what I enjoy, the beauty of a perfectly timed pass, that one handed grab for a touchdown, breaking free of those three men for a long run, a punt downed inside the two, DeMarcus Ware chasing down Eli Manning... good stuff.

    I played DB & RB when I played football. I love seeing some one knock the S*&t out of another person.

    I live for the NFL season... sorry but true Clete. I do other things when the game isn't on.

    Someone help the Bears please.

    Tell him he's dreaming, doesn't happen speech, when they hit you, you stay down, either speared into the ground with a spear tackle, or thrown martial arts style like a rag doll, The fines mount up and still they don't get the message

    It happens in the NFL. I think spit just showed you how it's done.

    You got to excuse Clete . He comes from a country who thinks putting on gladiator armor is for girlie-men.

    Some of the rugby players are starting to wear a soft type of helmet.

    I understand everyone isn't cut out for football that's what soccer is for.
