mike_the_wino Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 It's FOOTBALL time again....no, not soccer you pansy ass euros. Real 'merican football. Favre retiring, coming back, now with the Jets....oh my! Who will be the Super Bowl Champs this year? I have no illusions that it will be the Vikings but a boy can dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbott Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Do they really feel the tackles I mean padded up as much as they are? Yes, it feels like getting hit by a truck. If Rugby player's knew how to tackle there wouldn't be any left playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Do they really feel the tackles I mean padded up as much as they are? I played freshmen year in high school and when you first put the pads on you feel invincible. Eventually you find that isn't the case but you can take a lot more abuse than one would normally think possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce90 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 In 14/15 years playing Rugby hereabouts beside the normal black-eyes, sprains, pulled muscles etc. I broke, right collar-bone twice, right hand thumb, nose and a couple of ribs with a cracked sternum thrown in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'd like to go on record predicting that the Jets will only improve from 4-12 to 6-10, and the whole Brett Favre thing will be a big letdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. NFL players with pads get rocked just the same and more with pads as a weapon. I have been hit at the college level and just one hit can be a life changing experience. I have also been hit by a Van, it felt pretty much the same. Everything is fine one second then you are crushed, dazed and bleeding. Then you get up and do it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah I know the Giants won the superbowl, I was just commenting that the Pats won a lot of games last season so you can be pretty confident they will win a few games this season as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
