Originally posted by shortcircuitof course live was the ticket at the world series and yes the coverage wasn't as good as on tv although it wasn't a million miles off. i missed seeing home plate at each pitch, was in a strike, a ball? i don't know. that side is one of my favorite in baseball, and yes i missed it but the atmosphere inside coors field beat any missed game features with a stick.
Obviously watching on tv gives you better angles of overviiew, plus you get simultaneous coverage of multiple holes, but maybe I can give you an analogy you can appreciate. Would you have rather seen the Rockies in the World Series at the ballpark or on the tv, even though you get better coverage and camera angles plus instant replay? The answer is....live baby!! Am I right?
having never been to a golf tournament i can't imagine what the atmosphere is like, probably electric for the big occasions just like at the world series but with a bigger playing field you won't get to experience all the different atmospheres on the course and you would see a lot less of the action that at a live baseball game.
see what i'm talking about? i'm sure they really enjoy watching golf live but it really does depend on where you're standing on the course and what you want to see for you to enjoy it i guess. tbh i don't really think we can compare the two.
in short - golf wouldn't be for me watching live 😉

See, in American football, the field size works out well, because it is so much more natural to use your hands to maneuver the ball than your feet, and people [b]can actually score more than once in a game.
[Hell, I don't even much like US football, but this was too hard to pass up.][/b]

Originally posted by RagnorakIt is called NFL football. You see, you can use your hands to throw the ball and to catch the ball, but you must use your feet to advance the ball...hence the name football. Now do you understand? That soccer crap you call football only allows the goalie to use his hands. What a waste. And the scoring is pathetically boring. I have seen more action in the stands at soccer games between the fan base warring factions.
What's the name of the American sport again?

I thought the game was American Football or Gridiron?
Grid iron came from the English Pioneer rejects in the New Land wanting to remind themselves of rugby back home. But they had become sissy from kitchen and laundry work and were afraid to get hurt in rugby tackles so they armoured themselves by tying the wash board to their chest put a colander on their head, pots and pans on their delicate little shoulders and sewed up big blouses to cover themselves..
They tried to play rugby by standing around in a grid pattern but couldn't really run so got several refs to blow a whistles every three seconds or when got too tired to carry all that armoured stuff around.
Nowadays the professional don;t do hard work like laundry and have lost what hardness they had in pioneer days. They are of course all in it for the cuddles known as huddles in the States. The PR ppl even have dancing girls to cover for the gayness of the players.
I hear they are introducing coffee breaks with picnic tables on the field next season so the coaches can serve muffins with their plays.
Laugh but soccer down under is also known as "Kick it with yer 'ead" (always said with a sniggering northern English accent.)
Rugby Forever!

Pathetically boreing? Would you like to take a guess at how many more people watched the world cup compared to the ryder cup?
I'd think you'll find that the most popular sport in the world is fine the way it is!

Originally posted by Jamesqti don't know, i think it needs some half time cheer leaders...or at least a few girls preforming a strip tease at each end. half time can be ever boring at a match.

Originally posted by trev33Most of the rugby games here and some of the soccer matches have cheerleaders now. The days of the old military brass bands seem to have passed by.

Bit of pole dancing on the goal posts wouldn't go astray... especially at the opposition end to put their kickers off. (that is kickers there is no missing "n"😉.
American football is catching on here and I believe the NZ national team has a few players in the NFL ranks. (Don;t think they have colanders on their heads either)

Originally posted by JamesqtSo why even let the goalkeeper use hands? Let's take that privilege away and put even MORE skill into the game.
