You're living in the past...

James Harrison Superbowl XLIII 100yd Int Return TD

This was such an incredible thing to see live. That big motherfucker never ran so hard for so far in his life. I love how he just collapses at the end and then you see him huffing on the oxygen mask.

It's without a doubt the best play I've ever seen (not that I watch that much football).

That was a crazy play.

I favor the no pads, run for the full game, same people on offense and defense version. Especially when a skip gets sconned like in the following vid

Tackle-Jerry Collins mullers Nathan Sharpe

That was rough man. Then that other dude came up and started grabbing nuts.

Then the lot of them broke down after the show and started sucking dick.

Oh boo hoo, people are enjoying sports. How gay.

An oldie, but a great one:
Phil Manassa

Man, that semi-dribbling thing at full tilt looks hard as fuck to do.

It aint with a bit of practice... the rule in Aussie rules is that the ball carrier must touch the ball to the ground every 15 meters, and the ball being that shape makes it easy to bounce and come straight back at the player.

Yeah, makes sense. Try that shit with an NFL shaped ball and the results would be pretty comical.

Sean Taylor Pro Bowl Hit

holy shit, at 12 seconds that #8 just bounced back up like nothing happened. that was waaay more awesome than the tackle itself

Yeah, and he's a fucking punter of all things.

(Punters almost never get hit or hit anyone, they just punt.)

so it's bad form to nail a QB but a punter who's dumb enough to run with the ball is fair game?

A QB who's dumb enough to run with the ball is fair game too. The only exception to that rule is if a QB slides feet first, it's then bad form to nail him, cuz he's already given up. It's kind of a pussy rule but the game gets a lot less interesting with a bunch of injured QBs.

What I ought to point out, though, is that that vid was from the fucking Pro Bowl, the all star game they have after the season. It's generally bad form to lay anyone out in the Pro Bowl, since it's a completely meaningless game. Sean Taylor was an intense motherfucker, though. Dirty fucking player too. Still a shame he died, though. Helluva safety.

Oh, and it's not actually bad form at all to hit a QB, once he still has the ball in his hands. In fact, there's a statistic dedicated specifically to hitting QBs for a loss of yards - sacks.

yeah, I know the game reasonably well and I'm a big Titans fan (first game I ever watched right through, they were playing). I was going to ask about the Pro Bowl game thing, hitting the punter in a exhibition game is a bit much, kind of like playing D in the NBA all-star game

Yeah exactly.

Shame about Tennessee losing Haynesworth, eh? No way could they afford him though.

yeah, the salary cap is a good thing

Here's the "gentleman's game" for all to see

haha, beavis and butthead ftw!

In London last summer, Pep and Amy and I made the trek up the hill to the Greenwich Observatory, which was pretty fucking cool. One of the highlights? The Dyson Blade hand-dryer thingy in the men's room.

"This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life..."

This thing?

Yep!

Later that evening we saw a hen party walking through a park, and the lead hen walked straight through a fountain and regretted it immediately.
