Amen to that. I'm a Green Bay fan through and through. They didn't make the playoffs this season, so sticking with the NFC North, I rooted for the bears this weekend. So I decided to go on various Seahawk fan websites, talking very minor trash about the Seahawks. I have about 40 or so death threats against me now.
i bet u havent ever played a contact sport in your life....fucking homo...just cause you watch extreme sports and beat off all day doesnt mean u can call another sport soft....
i use to play rugby but stoped after awhile because i got my leg and arm broken by a bad tackle. i live in florida now but just don't like foot ball so suck it up pussy and stop your crying.
I currentely play rugby still. Have been for five years now. The difference between football tackles and rugby tackles is the fact that football hits are more collision hits where as rugby is a grapple tackle in order to get the ball from the oppossing team as quickly as possible. Although football players where pads its necessary. Both sports are rough no body should be talking shit about either
OH GOD, not this debate AGAIN!! Here's an idea, lets compare cricket to baseball, douches. American football and Rugby are completely different sports with different tackling styles and tactics.
So, in the 50 or so years they've been televising American Football, they can't even get enough hard hits to fill a three minute song without repeating the same clips.
Yup, what you saw were the ONLY hard hits there have EVER been. you got it, no hard hits at all in the last 15 years, that hit that Reggie Bush took last weekend was just a kiss on the cheek.
You know what sucks thoe as you can tell most of these are old 80% of these are a illegal hits now a days. Cant lead with crown of your helmet period anymore. All the bigtime hits where WRs going across the middle to catch a ball and now a days believe it or not most of them hits would recieve fines and suspension for that. You cant hit a defenseless WR or anyone for that matter if he has no way of protecting thereselve. Things have gotten way to strict. I know every position gets fines but you will see especially now normally your FS(free safety) or SS(Strong safety) almost always head the list of fines on most of there respective teams. I would have my QBs ass for leaving me out to dry like that across middle.
They have to you idiot. Look at all the posts basically saying the samething. Watch more football you douche and you will see there isnt 1 game that doesnt go by that 1 player, coach or play by play guy comments on that issue.
Yes, definitely OLD football when real men played the sport and not these overpiad pussies who whine about someone having a bigger locker than their's. It is vey sad how this once great sport has turned to shit for the almighty dollar. At least we still have Austraulian football.
What the fuck are you talking about. I guess you didnt see Reggie Bush get his bell rung this past weekend and on top of that he was spiting up blood. Who the hell is whining about locker size? What football league are you watching?
Australian football is also a shadow of it's former self thanks to money and having to clean itself up for the lucrative family dollar. The biggest talking point in recent years? A captain caught fucking the vice-captain's wife in the toilet. No whats-his-name the star player knocked out and taken to hospital before the first bounce in the grand final.
I personally prefer the freer flowing and more athletic direction of the game. The Tiwi Islands without doubt play the most attractive Australian Rules football in their league. I would recommend anyone to go find footage of that.
this year i got 4 flags cuz i hit the qb in the face, i got my helmet knocked of twice, from getting hit that way, it didnt hurt, i guess that qbs are standing still, but still i am colliding with other people i think it needs to be takin away for qbs
They did in fact bring American football players over to try and play the faster flowing incarnation of rugby league and were found to be wanting. No stamina to see out an entire match nor agility to land or avoid tackles on their lighter-footed opponents.
Chairman even if that's true (who are the mysterious "They" anyway?) the two sports require different training for their athletes. You're comparing apples and oranges. If the Americans were "found to be wanting" it's because they have gone through years of professional training to be ass kickers, not runners. Go Colts
oi rimmington your players would never play without pads.. they may break a nail or something.. i hear one player got scratched once.. cried for hours apparently
oy vey you guys are such douches. Here's a thought lets get basketball players to play an english team in soccer/football. Might sound ridiculous but its the same as getting american football players to play rugby and vice versa.
i think, matched up with players their own size from the other sport, the football players would win, just because rugby players are trained for long cardio strain, and american football players are trained for short bursts of power.
As ill-suited as the previous experiment I suspect. I guess you just have to cover all the angles. Although Australians have "made it" in the NFL as kickers/punters/whatever. You know the little guy that runs on for a few seconds each game to kick it and then get the fuck out of there before he gets squashed.
I think that so many more players in the NFL are hurt is because they have to go for the ball and focus on it, leaving them very vulnerable (especially if they are in the air) with 3 or 4 defenders already in perfect position to hit him if his hands touch the ball.
You see, my foriegn friends, only 2-6 players on the offense are allowed to catch the ball, depending on the play, although there are 11 men on each side. 5-8 men block and 1 man throws, and on the DEFENSIVE side, 3-4 men go against the blockers, so up to 7 men are in position to hit the reciever after he catches it, so because of the huge difference in teammates-opponents, it id VERY likely that he will get hit, and hard.
p.s. people play football in parks, empty lots, etc. with no pads, and the hits are just as hard as they always are.
So your best example is an alcoholic habitual drug user? If thats the type of player you put in the hall of fame its a sorry state of affairs my good man...
Comments to american football hits
ah thats what i call football....
Amen to that. I'm a Green Bay fan through and through. They didn't make the playoffs this season, so sticking with the NFC North, I rooted for the bears this weekend.

football sucks there wearing protection the pussy's
dude u are such a faggot
i bet u havent ever played a contact sport in your life....fucking homo...just cause you watch extreme sports and beat off all day doesnt mean u can call another sport soft....
lol dug id like to see you takin a hit like one of those
But since they are wearing protection, you get alot more of these hits then you would see in rugby, makes american football more exciting
I play college football, and even though we wear pads, hits like that hurt like a motherfucker.
i use to play rugby but stoped after awhile because i got my leg and arm broken by a bad tackle. i live in florida now but just don't like foot ball so suck it up pussy and stop your crying.

rugby is the best fuck the rest :P
Which rugby are we referring to as I prefer union over league.

"Football" you hear that & believe its safe to assume it involves the feet most of the time....but no...
yeah, i know. I've been an American football fan all my life and thought that was a stupid name for a sport that uses the feet roughly 7% of the time
You know what sucks thoe as you can tell most of these are old 80% of these are a illegal hits now a days. Cant lead with crown of your helmet period anymore. All the bigtime hits where WRs going across the middle to catch a ball and now a days believe it or not most of them hits would recieve fines and suspension for that.

they havent gone too strict, sounds to me like ur one of those kids that dont kno how to hit hard
They have to you idiot. Look at all the posts basically saying the samething. Watch more football you douche and you will see there isnt 1 game that doesnt go by that 1 player, coach or play by play guy comments on that issue.
dont put words in my mouth, i never said they never changed the rules i said that it isnt too strict
I agree, hits are totally different, but there are still hard hits. They're just different and require more skill now.
Wasnt trying to put word in your mouth. Just disagree with you thats all.
Yes, definitely OLD football when real men played the sport and not these overpiad pussies who whine about someone having a bigger locker than their's. It is vey sad how this once great sport has turned to shit for the almighty dollar. At least we still have Austraulian football.
What the fuck are you talking about. I guess you didnt see Reggie Bush get his bell rung this past weekend and on top of that he was spiting up blood. Who the hell is whining about locker size? What football league are you watching?
I submited a video of Reggie Bush getting clocked today!! Pretty nice welcome to the NFL...

My faves: 0:20, :40, 1:19, 1:32, 2:10, 2:32, and the last one. Also liked 1:22 because the guy got up without his helmet like it was nothing.
im gonna go back and watch every single one of those at those exact times, thanks!
this year i got 4 flags cuz i hit the qb in the face, i got my helmet knocked of twice, from getting hit that way, it didnt hurt, i guess that qbs are standing still, but still i am colliding with other people i think it needs to be takin away for qbs
You don't play football.
I like these football hits compilations....too bad you rarely ever see hits like this in games now..
tell captainTrips that.
lol at 2:20 bounc3d off his head.
i love football, pats all the way
Ronnie Lott was the baddest motherfucker in the history of the NFL.
you americans need to get rid of the padding and play like real men.. rugby styleee
See my previous comments
Well, if we had teeth as fucked up as your, UK, we would probably skip the mouth piece as well.
You know since rugby is god damn hardcore id like to see a nfl team and a rugby team trade hits without pads and see who got the worst of it
They did in fact bring American football players over to try and play the faster flowing incarnation of rugby league and were found to be wanting. No stamina to see out an entire match nor agility to land or avoid tackles on their lighter-footed opponents.
y dont we put the rugby ppl in pads and place them in trench fights with 300lb linemen and see how good they are at our sport?

UK, that was the possibly the stupidest remark anyone has possibly made on this site
stick around they get worse....

THANK YOU. And to all you Euro pussies, Google Lawrence Taylor.
haha "Euro pussies" ...ok from now ill wrap myself in cotton wool in order to stop being a "Euro pussie" ...you funny!!!
So your best example is an alcoholic habitual drug user? If thats the type of player you put in the hall of fame its a sorry state of affairs my good man...
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Taylor)
Well George Best wasn't the finest example of a human being off the pitch yet he was a legend on it and made your Gordon Banks look like a total twat.
...and that Chairman is why i wouldnt use his name but why did he make Banks look like a twat?
It would simply be quicker for you to see the footage rather than me to explain it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS7-ivLQZGU
Earl Campbell could lay down a hit like no other....
After watching both videos, the rugby hits look more brutal tbh.
go hogs go...
A lot of this shit is illegal, too. I saw plenty of spearing and face-masking.
