Favre Demands Trade

[Marc von Martial]

Having played American football I have to say you have some misconceptions. Yes we wore pads but they didn't cover everything. Your entire backside is exposed from your butt down. There are no coverings for your arms or hands. From your knees down there are also no covering. In soccer people primarily go for the ball. In American football the main objective is going for the person with the ball. There are no collisions in soccer as there are in American football. Another thing to note is American football is played in the bitter cold which makes the skin more prone to nasty gashes. If you think soccer is tough then try running into a guy that's 250lbs. that's running full speed at you not once, not twice but about 50 times a game.

You know I have played both. Both in teams, not bar hobby sports. I prefer a tackle over a kick in the knees anyday.

I think we can all agree that hockey is just the right sport [:D]

Nothing better than Austrailian rules football for me. I wish America would telecast more of those games than silly childish rt kickfest soccer. lo (haha rt kickfest soccer)

Good to see some foreigners know what th're talking about. mind u I think aussie rules sucks at the moment, my team has lost its first six games of the season maybe thats 7 and a week ago were beaten by 157 points

Love Aussie Rules as well. Just wish they didn't change the ref's uniforms. The hats ruled.

I can't see the puck in hockey so I don't care for it much. Aussie football though, man I could watch that all day everyday and on weekends too.

Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I've never understood the problems seeing a black puck on white ice...?

yep nothing beat the white hats and white dust coats the goal umpires wore, now they wear green, red, blue or yellow polo tops and crappy baseball hats, darn where has all that tradition gone[:D]

Now there was a sport that was strickly "street fighting" until they cleaned it up, recently.

Farve is getting old and it's time for him to go. US football is kind of slow and boring. Too much body armor

[Arctic Blast]

My problem with the Packers, though, is the keep begging him to come back, insisting they'll build a contender...then don't add anyone of immediate significance, yet claim they aren't rebuilding. Pick one, and move on...please!

Last year stats:

Rex Grossman CHI 3193 yards 480 att. 262 compl. 23 TD 20 int. 73.9 rating

Brett Favre GB 3885 yards 613 att 343 compl. 18 TD 18 INT 72.7 rating

Now what I can't understand is is this is considered a good year for Brett Favre and an utter disaster for Grossman. Why is that?

I wouldn't consider that a good year for a veteran QB, certainly not for a QB that's considered great by some.

As for Grossman, he had an even higher interception pct. than Favre but more critically he was terribly inconsistent. He had some great games but also some of the worst games of the season by anyone. Consistency may be the most important attribute of a pro QB. Most teams can't afford any "throw away" games. Luckily for the Bears last year they could. Grossman's tendency to fold when the spotlight was on him is why I think he's not ready for prime time - and probably never will be at this point. Not replacing him when he was foundering may have done him a long-term disservice. Now he's a head case.

Would you like to be hit full speed by a 340 lb defensive tackle, jacked-up on meth and coke, able to run 40 yards in 4 sec, who wants only to hurt you really, really bad?

Well like I sayed, I have been tackled quite a few times by defense players that were almost double my weight and 3 heads taller [;)]

So that's what's wrong with you, you've been brain pummeled in football.....ahhhhh everything is much clearer now.
