ahh right he is the dog fighting man,he has been in jail for 2 years already,wow time flies by,pretty useful quarter back by the looks of sunday night

i watch and like baseball,although we have lost it on our telly so can't see the last couple of seasons unfortunately,nfl and mlb are my fav american sports

mmm cricket,no hope in explaining cricket,it has 3 to 5 different versions now,nothing like baseball in my opinion other than it has innings,

personally i only like TEST cricket which is  international level  and lasts 5 DAYS,what can i say other than get the weed/beer/wine out,kick back and enjoy

straight bat,cover drive,googly,chinaman,leg break,square cut,bouncer.... understand?

batsmen can take some real punishment,test bowlers/bowling is probably one of the most demanding sports on a body,especially fast bowlers

when you reach a certain age over here,you can get down to your local county ground,have a drink and some lunch,sit in a chair,have a snooze in a beautiful  cricket ground and relax

BUT the main thing you have to remember is that when ENGLAND win and beat the AUSSIES and the BOKS it drives them crazy,that is the most important thing
about cricket

I still don't get it, but it sounds much more exciting than golf.

well its much more exciting than golf,but golf is that unique major sport where men take it up the older they get

cricket is a great mental and tactical game but you have to be brought up with it like most sports to love them,

i enjoy baseball alot but there are some things i don't understand when i am watching,the little rules/nuances i can't remeber what they are now because it got taken off my telly,

i like nfl too,probably the most tactical game in the world and obviously brutal on the body shame they can't really touch each other anymore
e
do you ever remember or know a Mike Carlson he has been the pundit on our telly for years now when ever anyone has the NFL rights

The sports thread needs more content. It may be too late to make an NFL Prediction League (and I may not have the time to run it), so hopefully someone else will.

It doesn't work that way.  One cannot cheer for both the Bears and the Packers.  I'm sure that you already know this.

I predict that the Seahawks aren't even going to win their crappy division this year.

That's not true Ryan. It depends on where you live. In my neighborhood, aproximately 85% of the people love the Sox and hate the Cubs.
