[Jess]

you gotta hand it to the little fella. he's a brave one. coming onto an australian site about rugby and trying to talk up gridiron.
brave... or just a little bit naive perhaps.

Sharpey was still at school when I first went the chrome ... It starting going when I was 19 - the chicks dig it though

He didn't start talking it up until the other little brave or naive one slammed him! Come to think of it I think coach started it!

So......does your father know about this

I would of guessed 12:00 it's summer time here so no school. During school 9:30 it bed time. I'm surprised I'm still up I'm usually sleeping by 10 or 11.

[Jess]

wait larry... were u saying shaun or me was the naive one slamming gridiron? could be both i guess. but both shaun and i are onto something there... gridiron is a bit rubbish.

[Shaun]

Yeah, who cares who is talking about, point is Gridiron is pussy compared to rugby

[Redbull]

point is Gridiron is pussy compared to rugby

ignorance is no excuse for intolerance.

Crikey, there might be a sporting career left for me yet!
In fact, quite a few candidates from my visit to the other day

I said slamming him not gridiron. Your quote shows maturity Jessc

gridiron is no substitute for rugby...
but congrats on your teams success! ...

Shaun's shows his ignorance and immaturity.

Gridiron is for pussies! Look at those pads you wear,

Julian took it personally, the first thing out of his mouth was how rude. You must remember that him and his friends have a passion for football. They play it outside all the time. If they are inside they are doing one of 3 things. Watching the NFL network (24/7 football channel), playing various PS2 and Xbox football games, or on the computer playing fantasy football. I believe Julian already has about 15 fantasy teams and training camp hasn't even started.

So we'll let the naive little ones have their fun. One thing I do know for sure is that that the 11yr old won't even come close to the 14 yr. old is spelling errors.

[Jess]

well said larry. and tell julian i am sorry too.
I may not like gridiron but if he does and it's his passion then i'm all for it. good on him for being passionate about a sport. it's a very healthy thing.
i think we've forgotten that you are american after all so it would be hard for him to be really into his rugby union. doesn't get as much media or public attention as it does here.
Good luck with your football julian and all i can say is at least you aren't playing soccer

[LarryNJ]

...julian and all i can say is at least you aren't playing soccer

Amen!! No one would've wanted to be me 4 or 5 years ago. Every weekend for 3 months Sat. my daughter played Sunday Julian played. It was brutal for me. Thank god they both were bored with the sport and retired after a couple of years.

[Jess]

yeah you got the rough end of the stick there having to watch it. I used to love playing indoor soccer especially in PE in high school. (i enjoyed rugby more though.. even if it was only touch rugby)
But watching soccer... it's just awful. I'm sorta glad the socceroos are out of the world cup now cause people have stopped talking about it all the time. Now the talk is all about rugby... as it should be.

American Football - Im sorry I just cant call it Gridiorn, its like calling Tennis; Court - is an excellent game and to criticise a game you have no knowledge about is a disgrace.

American Footballers are much bigger then their Rugby counter-parts and have on occasions been know to play their games on carpet covered concrete - you would want pads too.

25 years ago it was illegal for Rugby Union players to have any sort of padding - now there are helmets like the one worn by the captain of the Western Force Nathan Sharp (bless him) and shoulder pads etc

American Football is based on Rugby Union, and the American Rugby Union side the Eagles were the only team to score a try against the Wallabies in the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

Lets show a little respect for people from other parts of the world rather then jumping all over them. We will have a much better time.

[Jess]

sorry again...
