I am so sick of Football

[mookie2001]

To the OP, the draft isn't football

[bigzak25]

dude, shutoff espn, turn off the talk radio, and go take your football hatin ass to the bball court. problem solved.

I played hs and college ball and have coached it on a couple of levels and I know for a fact you have no idea what you're talking about. Basketball is 5 guys running plays to put the ball in the hole or keep the other guy from doing it. Football is 11 guys at a time having to move and execute in unison to move the ball or stop the other guy. It's a detailed and brutal game that you just don't understand. Dope

yeah baseball is full of skilled athletes in great shape.

There are exceptions to every rule. However, Wells could pitch- skillfully. And Mo Vaughn, I believe that is- could hit- skillfully.

I love how the NFL is set up. It doesn't take long to rebuild thanks to the current salary cap. Just last year the Saints were an average team that missed the playoffs. A year later they win the superbowl. The Giants won the superbowl and two years later they miss the playoffs. Any given Sunday tends to be the case with the NFL.

This sounds like the OP is just some fat who realizes the only thing he can play is baseball where he can sit on his fat ass in the dugout for half the game, and ocassionally huff and puff his way across the bases.

I don't know if that's true or not...then again, im a numb skull who likes football for whatever reason.

or a troll that was reading the soccer thread and thought he would crack himself up by getting everyone riled up in a football hate thread

probably a bit of both

[LnGrrrR]

A 3 1/2 hour football game has 11 minutes of actual game action.

yes, much more fluid

See? That's why football works... viewers at home have time to discuss whether the play was dumb or brilliant, whether somebody is playing well, to give predictions for the next play, etc etc, without missing any of the action!

[davethedope]

I'm none of those things- just a guy who likes the Spurs and when I woke up for my morning sports chatter to hear some talking head wax poetically about the great game last night the only thing I'm hearing about is about a bunch of 20 year old nobodies who are probably going to amount to in the NFL once they get leveled once.

[LnGrrrR]

Oh please, don't give me the strategy bs. If half the numb skulls that actually like football for whatever reason could understand one play the world would be a better place. It's not chess or rocket science. And don't make the players any smarter than any other sports athlete. All they know is get ball, run with ball, hump opposing player, pile on and hump. That's it.

Thanks for proving yourself an idiot.

whatever you say, troll.

[bigzak25]

so the spurs win the night before the draft and you expect all spurs commentary when it's just one game in the 1st round...

760 had spurs talk on....tpark even called in...

if your talking about national radio, nobody gives a damn about the spurs on nfl draft day...

Anyway, I know how hard it is for football fans to understand someone not giving a about football, but I'm sorry. The game is over intellectualized just to make idiots feel smart. There, I said it.

[lefty]

As much as I love football, nothing beats playoff hockey, especially live.

Drama, flow, emotion, attrition, controversy, etc.

It's too bad only a minority of people follow it in the States.

Amen

During the regular season, I only watch Montreal Canadiens games

But during the playoffs, I'll watch any game

In fact, over the last 3 seasons, I've watched more NHL playoff games than NBA playoff games

[phxspurfan]

Agree. I don't want to hear about Ben Rofleburger's offseason antics or where the Donovan McNabb is playing. He sucks and is Mr. Irrelevant anyway.

aren't they all.

[englishspursfan]

nothing compares to the world cup!

[thispego]

you got it all wrong. BASEBALL is the game that TOTALLY sucks. it's basically a one man game. pitchers win or lose games. BOOOOOOOOOOOORRIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG

Baseball games are too damn long

They should set them to 5 regular innings instead of 9

And playoff baseball is better than regular season baseball


But Baseball are still too damn long

[CubanMustGo]

Baseball, where the teams with money (e.g. Yankees) are allowed to dominate while the teams that don't suck year in and year out. Right.

And you want to talk about a sport where there's very little action compared to the actual length of the game, baseball is it. Pitcher on the mound - batter steps out of the box, looks at the 3rd base coach, spits out some chew, scratches his nuts, gets back in the box, pitcher looks at the catcher, gets a sign, waves it off, gets another sign, waves it off, batter gets tired of waiting and steps out of the box ... yeah, that's exciting.

+1. Baseball is boring as . I can't believe I used to watch every regular season game until my teens.

What you don't understand is that football fans don't give a about people who don't like football.

No, you just can't understand football either.

Baseball is mostly mental. I like the pace, but just cause that's a different game. I can go to a baseball game, talk with friends, kick back and relax. I don't feel the need to see every pitch.

With football, I want to watch every play, so it gives me a different mindset.

And as good as playoff hockey is, nothing beats actually seeing a hockey game. Hockey has the biggest disparity between watching live and on TV.

And for whatever reason being at a baseball game live, the game seems to fly by verses watching it on television. I guess in between talking to your friends and looking at all the hot pieces of ass all around you I guess time seems to fly. lol
