strutting and shakin their stuff and there i was thinking that republicans dont know how
to have a good time. At your age mate, you better watch your ol ticker!
Originally posted by AgergNo, the English gave it the stupid name of 'American football' the American'ts named it football. I guess because to start the game they... kick the ball.
Well known fact: the americans like shooting each other and giving sports stupid names like "American football" (how often do their feet come into contact with the ball!?).

I am talking about the average salary not someone like David Beckham.
The Premier League is only the world's fourth richest sports league by average earnings (£28,230 per player per week, or £1.47 million a year).
The even lower standing of American football's NFL was also a surprise, given that it has the biggest average crowds in world sport by far (67,509 people per game) and annual revenues of almost £5bn. In the NFL, I found the average pay to be £22,506 per week, or £1.2 million per year.
The best-paying leagues in order, by weekly average pay (see table for details) are the NBA, the IPL, baseball's MLB, the Premier League, ice hockey's NHL, then the NFL.
Sorry bro, looks like the NFL stars are getting ripped off, makes the NBA strike look ridiculous.
Originally posted by RJHindsOh wrong again. Basketball was invented by a Canadian.
Yeah, but we turned it into a more entertaining sport. And don't forget
about Basketball, which was invented by Americans. The Europeans had
nothing like it to bastardize. Now, aren't you glad for that? Now we can
all enjoy a wonderfully entertaining sport that can be played inside during
your cold European winters because of the Americans.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieTaking about bastardization... ever see the 'cheerleaders' in the IPL or Cricket champions league? Chicks look like the pick of the dropouts from a Glasgow's miss heroin contest.
