1. Help me out here....
....why was there such a subdued response to the winning touchdown on my NBC (??) commentary, via the BBC?

If that was my beloved football (aka soccer) there would have been mass hysteria in the commentary box!

3. You can't possibly be comparing football to a fake sport
like soccer.

8. I'd like to apologize for what I said.
I've tarnished the word "sport" by using it to describe soccer.

lol

11. If I'd known a DUer held these views I'd have bought Palin posters.
Okay, maybe not.

17. And I would rather watch Europeans spit nails at me than watch,
umm, "athletes" kick around a soccer ball for no apparent reason.

Certainly can't be for the purpose of scoring.

18. It's because of the stupid instant replay calls......
.... they have to run things backwards and forwards over and over from 14 camera angles with the latest technology in order to determine if it was a touchdown or not and by then, the moment has passed.

I'm as big of a techie as they come, but I HATE what instant replay has done to the game. Kills the drama. Sure, sometimes the referees got it wrong, but it was more fun that way.

6. sucky and wrong penalty calls against az
and not reviewing that last play? just plain wrong! az would totallt have had one more shot.

facemask call against az was not per the new rules (he was NOT pulling him to the ground, so should not have been called) and thaat dude fell on the holder, didn't rough him.

still, az beat the spread and I got the overm so woohoo!!
