Alexander Rahl Imperial Dreams Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.11 19:44:00 - [1] Just wondered if there were any other American Football players also playing EVE who live in the UK. I play for the Shropshire Revolution. A new team in the BAFL. Of course if you play in the US please post too. :) ------------------------------------------ Fear is the mind killer. I must not Fear!!
Layrex Caldari	Posted - 2007.07.11 22:21:00 - [2] I didn't realize there was a uk league, nice! I thought the only English American Football team was the London Silly Nannies
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2007.07.11 23:54:00 - [3] They actually play hockey there too and there's occassional goals!
Lehraen Rawr	Posted - 2007.07.12 02:59:00 - [4] Is football in Europe taken as seriously as soccer is in America? i.e. not at all.
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2007.07.12 03:11:00 - [5] Originally by: Lehraen Rawr Is football in Europe taken as seriously as soccer is in America? i.e. not at all. Are you homeschooled?
Shalia Ripper Caldari High4Life Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.12 05:11:00 - [6] BTW, the NFL is pulling the plug on NFL Europe. No doubt, this will cause the Germans to start another war.

Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.07.12 11:00:00 - [8] only pansies wear that much padding

No doubt, this will cause the Germans to start another war. Good. It's about time we had a real war instead of all these pretend ones. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.

Steve Holt Turbulent	Posted - 2007.07.12 12:47:00 - [11] Theres no reason to play american football in europe unless your too much of a panzy to play rugby.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.12 12:51:00 - [12] Originally by: Lehraen Rawr Is football in Europe taken as seriously as soccer is in America? i.e. not at all. American Football isn't all that big outside of America. Tends to be overshadowed by Rugby, which is aesthetically very similar (yes yes, I know, but try telling a casual fan of one and not the other that). Soccer, on the other hand, is THE international sport. North America is about the only place in the world that doesn't take it seriously. Rumour has it that it's because you guys suck, and don't want to show yourselves up by competing in a sport the rest of the world plays. These rumours are unsubstantiated slander, and should not be taken seriously at all, no siree bob --------
Steve Holt Turbulent	Posted - 2007.07.12 12:59:00 - [13] There's a reason theres no American football world cup, cause your the only people who play it.
Kharadran Sullath Caldari IntoXication Inc	Posted - 2007.07.12 13:08:00 - [14] American Football = EVE Rugby = WoW ------ --Don't get saucy with me Bernaise!--
Bob Clive Beasts of Burden YouWhat	Posted - 2007.07.12 13:14:00 - [15] Originally by: Patch86 North America is about the only place in the world that doesn't take it seriously. Mexico and mexicans take football (international) far more seriously then us Americans. Univision television channel, a Spanish language American based company, shows alot more, even USA friendly's, then ESPN. Tbh, if I wasnt born in USA i'd prolly hate American football too.
Boonaki Caldari Knights of Chaos Chaos Incarnate.	Posted - 2007.07.12 14:29:00 - [16] What MMO would be Australian rules football then? Fear the Ibis of doom! 113
ry ry StateCorp	Posted - 2007.07.12 14:33:00 - [17] Originally by: Kharadran Sullath American Football = EVE Rugby = WoW since american football is deadly dull, interspersed with moments of excitement, and seems to revolve around knowing a billion statistics about who threw the most yards on tuesdays during may, or which teams draft pick has the biggest combined weight, i'm inclined to agree.
ry ry StateCorp	Posted - 2007.07.12 14:36:00 - [18] also, uk American Football teams just don't sound as cool as american ones. Los Angeles Raiders = Cool name (even if they are based on an oilrig off the coast of alaska or something these days) Shropshire Revolution = Rubbish name.
Alexander Rahl Imperial Dreams Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.12 22:07:00 - [19] Originally by: Steve Holt Theres no reason to play american football in europe unless your too much of a panzy to play rugby. Actually we play at a rugby club and all the rugby players who tried out ran off back to the easy life of rugby. Unless you have actually put on the kit and took a good hit then you have no idea how tough it is as a sport. As to you other people go hijack someone elses thread and get a life. Back on topic I guess it seems that contact sports and EVE dont seem to mix. Someone prove me wrong so I know I am not the only one haha. ------------------------------------------ Fear is the mind killer. I must not Fear!!
Captain Hudson Caldari Intergalactic Space Defense Force THE R0CK	Posted - 2007.07.12 22:15:00 - [20] Originally by: Steve Holt Theres no reason to play american football in europe unless your too much of a panzy to play rugby. i think japan wins the baseball world cup quite a lot to. fancy that! p.s. ur english and play AF? play football u big * Originally by:** SPQRMocton We would love to have a bunch of teenage pimple boys with no real pvp ability to fil our corpse yards
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.12 22:30:00 - [21] Originally by: Boonaki What MMO would be Australian rules football then? Well, it'd be just like playing WoW, except you stab yourself with a broad sword every time your character takes a hit. --------
Tarquin Tarquinius Gallente Escorts of Eve	Posted - 2007.07.12 22:35:00 - [22] There was a time when American football didn't involve pads. They noticed there were lots of head, neck, and back injuries so they introduced the pads and helmets. If rugby was nearly as brutal as American Football, I'm sure they'd have to wear pads too. Calling American Football players pansies for wearing pads is like calling a hockey goalie a wuss for his pads and face mask. Most people who play Football in a non-organized (i.e. improvised playground games) manner actually don't wear any pads. Obviously they also don't charge into the other team head first. Its actually the government and the organizers that require the body armor. Just like how non-professional street racers don't wear fire suits. ----- 0.0 System Renaming?

Are you mad, They have the same Contact but rugby players don't get a ton of padding. American football - I dont wants to get hurt so i wear so much padding a train could hit me and i would feel nothing

Nah, Baseball is the sport that is obsessive about statistics. They are not nearly as important in Football.

Who's hijacking all i said was, theres no need to play american football ine urope cause there is better sports out there, It's like the speacial edd classes with "tag" football isntead of real contact.
Markus Aurelian	Posted - 2007.07.13 14:13:00 - [27] rofl, anyone who says american football is a sport for pansies is completely out of their mind (unless you're referring to the place kicker). high level foot ball players are some of the best athletes ive come across. football two-a-days are no joke. the issue of football players being pansies because they wear pads was covered earlier in the thread, but if you'll notice the amount of serious injuries that occur even with that padding i bet youd change your mind. next time a 260 pound middle line backer who runs a 40 yard dash in under 5 seconds is running straight at you, tell me then that you dont want pads.

Steve Holt Turbulent	Posted - 2007.07.13 14:46:00 - [28] theres bigger guys who do it faster in rugby with no padding.
Markus Aurelian	Posted - 2007.07.13 15:59:00 - [29] Originally by: Steve Holt theres bigger guys who do it faster in rugby with no padding. calling BS on that. first off linebackers are bigger defensive players, not meant to be running down the field. theyre pretty fast guys, but compared to the faster football players, well...theres a reason theyre on defense. the difference in the way the game is played means that rugby players generally have better endurance, to american football goes the raw power and burst speed which is needed. also keep in mind that in american football, ever position is played by a specialist, whereas in rugby, the players tend to do a bit of everything (well, at least offense and defense, you wont often see a quarterback in american football lining up with the defense). Quote: Another major difference is that only the player with possession of the ball may be tackled in rugby league. Defending players interfering with any other attacking player (and vice versa) will incur a penalty. ^http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_American_football_and_rugby_league sure american lineman may look out of shape. but warren sapp (google him) could put on a 4.69 second 40(he weighs in at 300). just look at the stats (down at the bottom, underneath agility heading) on this guy and you'll see that padding doesnt=sissy- http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2005/patterson_mike Meatwad FTW
Ryan Scouse'UK	Posted - 2007.07.13 17:19:00 - [30] all I have to say is BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING Go get some girls or sumthing.. Yawn at amercian football, Football.. real english football is were its all ;)
Manaswa	Posted - 2007.07.13 17:40:00 - [31] Wow. Massive duel of the epeens here. Nobody has mentioned the hardest of hardcore international sports: Golf. I'd like to all of you football players be it American, Australian, Rugby, or soccer to try to play a round of 18 holes without going over par? Golf = no padding too, by the way.
Steve Holt Turbulent	Posted - 2007.07.13 17:52:00 - [32] golfs pretty brutal my dad lost all his teeth when his ball hit an object and flew straight back into his face at full speed.
Manaswa	Posted - 2007.07.13 18:08:00 - [33] Originally by: Steve Holt golfs pretty brutal my dad lost all his teeth when his ball hit an object and flew straight back into his face at full speed. Preach on brother. One time I hit near a water hazard and I got my shoes wet trying to hit the ball. I want to see these pansy football players play the final 6 holes with wet shoes.

Preach on brother. One time I hit near a water hazard and I got my shoes wet trying to hit the ball. I want to see these pansy football players play the final 6 holes with wet shoes. Instead, they play in mud, ice, sleet, blizzards and near monsoon like rainstorms. There is no such thing as a weather delay in American football. Not that 120+ degree heat on the playing field is a picnic either. P.S. Oh yeah, fog too. Bears vs. Eagles, New Years Eve 1988. Fog Bowl
Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.07.13 23:05:00 - [35] You ever seen hurling? Now that's nuts. Drunk Irishman with sticks But seriously the Italians have got it over everyone for violent ball games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTcMioTZ_ss
Wardog 1 Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.14 00:01:00 - [36] I was about to comment on hurling there actually, I'd say its the most brutal of the lot. And to join in with everyone else, I think gaelic footballs more fun than american or rugby. There.
Shalia Ripper Caldari High4Life Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.14 02:37:00 - [37] Rumormill - NFL exec wants teams in London, Mexico and Canada within 10 years Mark Waller, NFL senior vice president of sales and marketing, also said in an interview that he hopes the league would have teams based in London, Mexico and Canada within 10 years. Waller said that he hopes the league would have teams based outside the U.S. by 2017. ``Ten years from now, I hope we will have a team in London, I hope we'll have a team in Mexico, I hope we'll have one in Toronto, playing within the NFL,'' Waller said. -- Bloomberg

Appart from the shape of the ball they're almost completly different games. You're not exactly aloud to nose dive someone in Rugby like you are in American Football and you don't get away with a fraction of brawling and blood in American football that you do in Rugby. I wa born in the UK, in Halifax and have lived in Warrington (both Rugby towns) and i like American Football and have done for a years now. Originally by: Benglada And whos going to tackle for them? Jesus?

I wa born in the UK, in Halifax and have lived in Warrington (both Rugby towns) and i like American Football and have done for a years now. They're different, but I don't know about "completely different". Aside from the tackling limitations in Rugby, the "right to contest possession" vs "turnover" philosophy, and the whens and wherefores of kicking / throwing / passing / etc, they're really pretty similar. Admittedly the way it's played in the end ends up fairly different. American Football is all about pushing for a couple of extra feet of territory, while Rugby is all about fluid manoeuvres and keeping possession. I don't dislike American Football; the whole atmosphere of it reminds me of a disciplined military pushing to capture enemy territory, and is all very primal and satisfying. As a whole though, I'm more of a rugby union man. --------

Also AF has evolved into a much more violent sport than when it started out. Maybe because of the American culture or maybe for other reasons.

Cheeky git :P How the hell are you pho? Im only 37 i'll have you know and can still run faster and hit harder than the young whippersnappers around today. I used to play back in the late eighties and early nineties as well. I play strong safety by the way. ------------------------------------------ Fear is the mind killer. I must not Fear!!
