Football Season is upon us

Think we need to think about beer delivery systems.

how shaken up would the beer be after that?

Football leaves me a bit flat this year although launching things from a cannon seems interesting.

J-E-T-S, Jets Jets, Jets. Smoke and mirrors. Gonna be either 10-6 or 6-10 this year.

10 + 6, 6 +10, either way, she's old enough for old dirty sanchez.

I could care less about american football.. just does nothing for me. Sadly, I work with a bunch of football fanbois... I get really tired of the military terms

The worst part about soccer is Americans saying things like "american football" and being all "I watch real football." They all do it, to the man.

Lawlz.

The Lovie Smith drinking game- the worst drinking game ever. Every time he speaks on the field, you drink. Perfect for non-drinkers. The man is an emotionless robot.

soccer is ok... but I would rather watch the REAL: inspiration for American Football... Rugby. I played it a bit in college, and I still enjoy watching it.

Funny thing is.. people who like football can't seem to grasp it

I am going to keep my mouth shut.

Seriously I don't mind watching football. I don't really care to much about the NFL though. When I do watch football it is usually SEC and bowl games.

and like it or not... it IS american football. We are the only ones who play this particular game. The rest of the world plays the game we call soccer. I won't call either/or "Real", that is just the way it is

Oh man, rugby fans are even worse than soccer fans! "Ooooh, rugby is so much more hardcore"! But then you look at retirement ages in football vs rugby, where Farve is some ancient freak, but 40 isn't too unheard of for a rugby player. Pad and helmets, in the end, make for way more destruction on the body. That said, ruby is pretty cool, I like the pace.

As for the nomenclature, do you call fuel "petrol'? Most likely not, unless you're a ponce. You say "gas." So why wouldn't you say "football" and "soccer"?

They are literally opening the gates to the free concerts right now for the NFL kickoff party here in Green Bay. I'm only ten minutes away and half the office is gone already...and I'm stuck here for another hour.

Oz football rules. REAL men play that one. (Runs and hides)

How about that pre-game show coming up? "Yea, suckers, if you're working, I'm gonna take your money and your grandchildren's money and give it to my union buddies so they can repave roads that are in good shape already and dig ditches to nowhere. And if you don't like it, YOU'RE A RACIST. HA HA HA."

Cue the Anthem.

Sometimes I do indeed say petrol, call a trunk a boot, a hood a bonnet and say football instead of soccer but my dad is English.

it depends on whom I am with. The Casinos in Atlantic City are like the UN.. you can hear half a dozen different languages being spoken at any one time.. and that is by the employees.

One of my friends is German.. as in FROM germany. Have to watch some of my sayings sometimes.. but he keeps me sharp on my metric

I feel so giggily right now......

Bob Costas is in the same city as me!

Because I had a coach in high school that would make us run extra laps for saying "soccer". Five if you said it to his face, ten if he found out you'd said it "behind his back". I still use the words pretty much interchangeably.

Ironic thing..my school was the only one in our conference where people wanted to play foot..uh, soccer. We trained up, started fundraising for uniforms-and then discovered we'd have to play schools much bigger than ours (complete with looooong trips to play) if we were going to stick with it. Our parents killed the program.

That checks. See my previous statement about smug "football" fans!

Anyone watching this Green Bay v. New Orleans game? Eight touchbacks this game! EIGHT! There were two all season last year!

^You can thank the silly rule change this year that says that all kickoffs must be made from the 35-yard line instead of the 30-yard line. Player safety and all that.
