Where in the World is Bob Saget?

My team has cups

I didn't see the game last night. Had to catch up on Doctor Who. But from the final score, best game of the season.

I'm so far behind in my Dr. who-ing, I don't think I'll ever catch up. :/

I have never been a sports person but I applaude any one who likes and is a Athletic Supporter

And the fact that there is more down time in American football than real football (hence why football players are skinny and in shape vs 500 pound linebackers

Yeah, I don't think the down time has any effect on that.

Linebackers and football (soccer) players both train and work out just as much. One just eats a heck of a lot more, because it's part of their job to be that heavy.

But before the Ravens were in Baltimore, they were the Cleveland Browns. Since 1967, when Super Bowls started, the Browns never even appeared in one.

I realize it's not the same team... but it's the same organization, with a different name.

They are not the same organization. Not even close. I believe the only person they kept from the original Browns front office was Ozzie Newsome.

Update on the Tervis cover: Been up since 4 AM, and coffee stayed hot until approx. 5:15. I'd say the cover works well! Thanks again.

Yay! Woot! Glad to bring warmth to your morning.

You're right. What I meant to say was, they are not the same organization, but the same team.

All of the player contracts were retained, and most of the players made the move.

My dad calls soccer "sissy football".

1. Soccer is played with no pads except shin guards.
2. There are barely any substitutions. You have to run around the field the whole 90 minutes.

Football is obviously a high-contact sport, but that doesn't make soccer any less strenuous.

I'm an American football fan, but I respect the amount of effort soccer players put into their game.

You forgot Canada's worst export

I keep trying to give him back to @JenniferS but she is less than cooperative.

Yes, and they also drafted the players Belichick was going to draft if the Browns had stayed in Cleveland (Ogden and Lewis) and then won a SB. The Ravens even stuck Ernest Byner's name in their Ring of Fame, like everything he had accomplished was while playing for them. The Browns were actually one of the favorites to win the SB the year Modell announced the move, and were having a good season until then. That was the Browns SB that they won, and Cleveland fans are very bitter about that because our team never should've been moved in the first place. Sorry, this is a VERY sore subject...

I can't say I've ever really cared for it either. A lot of family friends like soccer and get together and play every Sunday afternoon. To me, it's just one more sport in which I could easily get hit in the face with a ball. It wasn't my most hated sport in middle and high school PE though. That title belonged to field hockey. With basketball and lacrosse following very closely.

I don't follow ice hockey very much either. Since Baltimore doesn't have a team, it's not much of a thing here. My school has a team. But other than one football game per year since I've been in college, I really don't attend sporting events.

marcia can relate with that

You do realize that American football has hands up each other butts right? And the fact that there is more down time in American football than real football (hence why football players are skinny and in shape vs 500 pound linebackers

Years ago, when we first moved back to Texas, I played in a youth soccer league. We then lobbied the school board to institute it as a HS school athletic program. They did. I played varsity, and was a starter, my junior and senior years, the first two years of the programs existence.
When it was announced, about a dozen players from the American football team tried out 'cause they thought it would be a blowoff and they would be able to kick some serious a** in the process. To this day, I still laugh at those clowns.
Of the dozen or so that tried out, only two ended up cutting it, and they ended up on JV.
Sure, they were good for short spurts, but, they had absolutely no stamina or endurance, whatsoever.
Those jerks were completely stunned how we ran circles around them.
The sissies were glad to go back to their pads and 3 second bursts.
Good riddance.

Don't you know about the family friendly point system?! What are you doing?!

Most Major League Baseball games last between two-and-a-half and four-and-a-half hours. .

Test Cricket games can last up to five days with scheduled breaks each day for lunch and tea, giving three sessions of play each day. The shorter version of the game (termed one-day games) usually lasts from five to seven hours, but can sometimes continue for longer than eight hours.

not such a sissy sport if it last 5 to 7 hours

never understood cricket or rugby. Rugby is like a tougher man's version of American football.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

So what kind of football does he play?

None. When he was a kid, he played baseball
