Superbowl

I dont like both the sports but a budy of mine play's rugby and they wear no body armor. So I say respect. But I would like to see the real Super Bowl madness once...

Don't compare American football with rugby. I think rugby players would be very insulted :)

I know! :) Just wanted to see if anybody knows about a website where I can watch rugby... Didn't want to start a new thread...
 
If American football players played the game without "body armor" as you call it, someone would most certainly be killed. All of those hits Bootie showed are a thing of the past (damn it! I love that stuff!). Pro football players are so big, fast, and strong these days the referees have to basically protect the ball carriers from imminent harm. Helmet to helmet contact is gone, hits on a "defenseless player" are gone, taking out receivers who cross the middle is gone, etc. These guys hit with the inertia of a mack truck. Frankly, it is sad they have to lessen the level of contact. It's turning into......rugby. <just kidding my rugby loving friends...couldn't resist>
 
Sorry, the last line of my post didn't show up. I put it in brackets which must be a no no. It reads: Just kidding my rugby loving friends...I couldn't resist
 
I thought it was a really good game - the 2nd time the Giants have done the Patriots in 4 or 5 years. And the last time was an even better game than this one. The only sad thing about it is I`m a Cowboys fan - Jerry Jones :unsure:
 
Halftime Show

During Madonna's first song I kept hoping Steve Martin was going to pop out of the stage and sing "King Tut".
