I had it up on my AIM that today was football day.
Filipe catches me later in the night saying... ehhh, I got european in me and that's soccer.
Soooo... we need to get that shit out of him.
Every single Sunday, we're gonna need to add to this post. This post will act as a continual reminder that Football is Football and he lives in North America, where that is the case.
Feel free to post here and tell Filipe that on this rock, we play Football with a pigskin.
Get it straight Fil!
Commence.....

Here in the States where it really matters (sorry Jamie) it is football and football is king. Everywhere else it is Futball and it hasn't impressed me since Pele left the game. Although when Zadan (or however you spell his name) headbutted that guy in the World Cup, that got my attention. Vinnie Jones was fun to watch as he was constantly getting kicked out of games for beating the shit out of people. he made it like hockey on grass. LoL!

I like me some European futbol. The majority of the European club matches are played on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Saturday... except for those silly Italians. But there is a saying that originated there that applies here: 'when in Rome, do as the Romans'.
Everyone knows that Sunday is for football.

Poor Filipe. Getting picked on because he prefers pansy ass men running around instead of a real man's sport where we knock the shit out of each other.

In Australia our two main sports* are Aussie Rules Football and Rugby. Both would make your NFL players quiver at the potential pain.
SEE:
*conveniently neglecting to mention cricket which is like baseball but goes for FIVE DAYS and most matches don't even end in a RESULT.

It's okay as something to keep on TV when you're hungover and sleepy but otherwise it's just an excuse for people to go sit in the sun and drink all day. I've seen many crowds leaving stadiums after a day's cricket and without exception they are all drunk and disgusting.

SEE: *conveniently neglecting to mention cricket which is like baseball but goes for FIVE DAYS and most matches don't even end in a RESULT. It has been proven that the NFL has the best athletes in the world. If you can show me a rugby/aussie football 4.2 40 meter time in full pads then Ill halfway believe you. Till then I just see a bunch guys in short shorts with no moves on the field. NFL athletes Pwn Rugby/Aussie football/ and futbol athletes. The world lives in fear for the day when Football athletes decide to play something else like Rugby football. Hits Runners Kickers Throwers |

You didn't put a Bo Jackson highlight reel on your list Ray? How dare you! You will now have your Football Man Card pulled for one week and will be deducted 25 points this week on your Fantasy Football Team. LoL!
The guy was a freak! He had a football cleat, baseball cleat and a cross training show named after him. He was the center of countless ad campaigns while also making it to the big screen and television as an actor. Hell, the man had a baseball and a football video game named after him.
He averaged 5.3 yards per carry on the football field which is more than any other running back ever to play the game. Then we can get into his baseball career. The guy made the All-Pro game in football and the All-Star game in baseball both in the same year. He was a beast.
Simply put, he was an unbelievable mixture of raw speed, power and talent. One can only imagine what he would have accomplished had his career not been cut short due to the hop injury.

Actually I believe the end of his career came when he agreed to let his likeness appear on that God awful "Pro Stars" cartoon. Of course Jordon and Gretzky were on it too, but we all know how their careers went.
