americdan football is with the hands.
Why is it call foot-ball then? Is the ball the same?
Football wasn't invented in England it was officialized among the white people there. kicking a ball into a set location has existed for centuries
I meant to say that the football we know of today was created in England, or you can say officialized.
in fact, it should be called american rugby, its probably closer to that then football
Remember that when the country seperated from Britain it made sure to eradicate all British terms from here, that's why you guys call it Church of England and here it's called Presbyterian (wtf??)in fact, it should be called american rugby, its probably closer to that then football
Of course that is more logical, but who ever goes with common sense?
not that country, no sir 
here is the answer to all of your questions. now can we please stop *****ing and moaning about what it is called and discuss this weekends games?

My vols have quite a game against georgia. I am thinking if we can run the football and prevent there qb from really performing we will come out of the game w/ a W. You also have LSU and Florida, this is going to be Florida's biggest test this season and probably the best game this weekend. Anywho, I'm greatly excited and plan to start the day drinking about 11 am. Any one else watching this weekend? Cheers mates. :]
Who the hell was whining and moaning? I was giving a explanation

Professional exponentially more than college. Too much to keep track of in college. And the umpteenths number of Official Polls to calculate who the rankings are is ridiculous.
In the NFL arena, all of my teams suck (49ers, Raiders and Rams (yeah, Rams are 3 and 1, but they looked ugly doing it)).
I lost my first week in fantasy football this past week 
. Thanks to Eagles waiting until 5 minutes before the game to announce Brian Westbrook wasn't going to be playing.
I can def enjoy the NFL. I am just not as passionate about it. My team the Bears are looking pretty good this year. If they continue to play at this level, they should atleast go deep in the playoffs, if not the Superbowl.
Yep. Their main problem last year was that they couldn't score. Their defense was awesome, but the offense couldn't do anything to win the game when their defense kept the score low. Now, Grossman is really starting to look like a great quarterback. Now, their defense is just as solid, and their offense improved dramatically (although the word has loss meaning over time, I really do mean dramatically).
My main team, on the other hand, Rams, just are not looking good. The defense is still rocky (they act like bumpers on a pinball table rather than tackling). Our new head coach is trying to turn us into a Steelers/Bears/Jaguars by winning by defense (no offense to your team), but I find it boring to watch. He also made a brilliant decision to tell Marc Bulger to throw the ball, but just don't get an interception. Good job to give him confidence <_< . I really hoped we wouldn't have to rely on Steven Jackson as much as we have to now with Marshal almost certainly done, he's just not smart on finding the holes and can't catch the ball. STL = heading toward rebuilding and sucking for the next decade. Hey! they have something in common with SF and OAK.
