Apparently the justification for calling American football , "football", is because the ball measures out to be a foot. Still plum ******ed.
Thats even worse than when an american told me it was because you played the game standing on your feet. I was like, WHAT!
The yanks tend to keep their sport names simple. Basketball......self explanatory. Netball was a more macho name but whatever. Baseball, well the do call them bases but rounders was the more manly name. American Football, well that makes no sense at all. Armoured Rugby would of been a better name.
When basketball was first invented they used waste baskets for nets. Throwball would have been a better name for American football.
Ah! American Football - merely kids playing crash-ups with padding and oxygen cylinders! How can a quarterback be a quaterback when he's in the middle of 2 lines of teammates? and the only guy who kicks the ball is hardly ever on the pitch?
I hate to say it but I think you could be right. Anybody know the odds on that score with those scorers?
don't ask me, don't understand that betting stuff. I think about learning, but then an image of this **** pops up in my head and puts me right off. please log in to view this image
