In fact I would like to get you to come on over for a while next year and see a few games up close and personal. Hell we could even catch a few major games if you timed it right for a couple of weeks. And while here in the heart of college football land...Alabama...well at least to all of us who live here its the heart...the beer and at least one game is my treat along with the BBQ ribs and pregame meals.


That would actually be alot of fun ! :)  

We could have a few beers and toss some footballers around. Invite a few of those famous cheerleaders and its a date!

If you have ever actually played it to a decent level, watched a decent game, you will realise it is not.

Funny how you can call it a "sissy" sport when it is a contact sport, and 2 of the most popular sports in america are non contact sports.


Admitedly I''ve only played it in grade school. As part of the curriculum.

But I've seen it.

Nephews was a star at it in HS ( yes because his mom wouldnt let him play football)

Saw him play several times.
Seen it played on TV several times.

I have neither experianced nor have I seen anything in that game at any level that would lead me to beleive it was anything less, then a sissy sport.
Bout the only other "sports" I can think of that is more sissy is Badminton and Golf. And unfortunately I dont view Golf as being a real sport but rather an activity or that would win top honors.

Wait,, which "football" are you referring to? Euro? or American style?

At around 200 lbs you MIGHT be able to take a feild goal kicker.

OR the waterboy

Whichever weighed less :D

I sit a couple of desks away from a guy who supports a team called Sheffield United, which is a rival team to Sheffield Wednesday. He hasn't said the word Wednesday for 20+ years.

I played football with him a couple of times against another plant. What he did on the pitch would probably land him in jail if he did it off the pitch. He kicked one poor lad into a heap that was carried off the pitch and on into casualty.

I gather he was (is?) an old school 'sissy' - back in the days when lads were a bit naughty with their fists on match days. Not sure I'd like to get on the wrong side of him, and he plays every Sunday in amateur football.

Nice chap otherwise.

sad thing is in freshman year in High school i was called "mini pele"

i could never get the knee bounce thing down really well, but i could fake out many, and kick with both feet almomst as accurate as each other.






then i joined football and became a punter / D back.
I don't know what to put here yet.

the fact that you cant even explain properly what you could do makes me very sceptical you could play football (soccer), and the fact that you are so desperate woman wise makes it hard for me to believe that you played for any type of sports team at all.
