Waiting for a train, I needed a shit. You won't bee-lieve what happened next

Regarding the previous post the correct term is 'Arsehole' not 'rear end in a top hat'. If Americans don't know the difference between the arse and a beast of burden then its small wonder that they don't know how to correctly describe a sporting activity.

Serious'ish question, I heard that in American Football the gradual increase of the armour over the years, they used to just have padding and stuff way back, has basically just led to it being more dangerous because now these huge ARSEHOLES are smacking their heads into each other on a regular basis and while they have their invincible +5 helmets it can lead to rather nasty long term brain trauma in later life because of their control units rattling around in their skulls, any truth to this rumour?

my favorite thing about football is how the pro players spend their whole lives preparing for a few years of grueling work, blow all their millions on hookers and blow, then get chucked off the team and into a life of dealing with the effects of repeated concussions without any savings or indeed any discernible non-football-related skills

I wish I could play sega genesis online so I could be the king of Mutant League Football, the only good football video entertainment game.

MLF maps had thin ice on asteroids, landmines in hard fields with rocks and fire pits, and some levels had gravity so low some athletes would jump real far and high and sometimes completely off the field. Not to mention the team specific special audibles like rumble fumble, fart gas clouds, and bribing/killing the ref. I wish they would remake that game in gory detail.

Just set the blood factor to 10 and focus on beating the other team up more than moving the ball. If you pick a 5 skull team against a zero skull team(sixty whiners) the parts will fly. Turn reserves on and there's a good chance you won't see the end of 4th quarter due to casualties.

likewise with hockey. hockey had a funny feature i dont know if football did. there was a penalty for fighting and a longer penalty for fighting and losing

There was bribing the ref and killing the ref, until you figure it out the ref makes real lovely calls like spitting, jaywalking, and crying, etc. that kick you back 5/10 yards. Only way to stop it is to kill the ref via audible costing you another 10.

I enjoy watching american football but I feel like if I could understand the plays better I could tolerate all the stoppages. It really feels like it requires either a high level of understanding or beers and friends to be enjoyable. I could watch baseball all day though.
