Rugby On Nbc

Possibly the gayest thing I've ever seen. Anyone that compares this homo circle jerk to football is out of their minds.
You've never played it and couldn't hold the jock of 99% of those players. Typical narrow minded Clevelander.

No, I'm not the one who looks a hillbilly douce bag.

A douce bag? Is that two douche bags?

No diss respect for Kosar but Cysko is right. Why the hell is this on T.V.? It's prime Hockey season or even Basketball. But NO we have Rugby?

Rugby? The sport American football evolved from.

Rugby 7's is the equivalent to Arena Football for American Football, nobody really cares about it apart from maybe a day out when there is nothing else to do, or your town/city doesnt have any other sports teams to watch. Proper 15-a-side Rugby is a very competitive and aggressive sport which can be a very exciting game to watch win plenty of big hits and fast runners. But I will agree with you on what you have had to put up with watching on tv 2day, that is not a very good advert for the full Rugby game at all.

I'm jonesin' hard for some football. Counting on the Daytona 500, 2/28, to help with the withdrawl.
My son is on me to jump feet first into NASCAR Sprint Cup and get behind his favorite driver, Kyle Busch.
Ole girl Danica is lookin' sexy as hell.
I'd just as sooon watch a banana turn brown than tune into rugby.

Played 4 years of rugby at John Carroll. Without a doubt the greatest sport in the world.

Like I stated in another thread that I started: "A helpful Tip"- If you have an Xbox 360 you can download the FREE ESPN APP and watch college games from last season. It's a good way to get your football fix and to scout up the potential player that will be available in the Draft come April. I don't watch college during the season so this is perfect for me. If you've watched a bunch of college this last year there are probably still some games you haven't seen on there to enjoy... sure beats rugby...
I just started watching the Stanford games(there are about 7 of them) and when I'm done with those I'm moving on to get a better look at Vontaze Burfict with the Arizona Sun Devils. The when those are done I'm gonna get a closer look at Chase Minnifield.

before you actually dog rugby, I suggest you play it and actually see much of a violent, vicious game it is. I've played rugby on and off, and the best way I can describe it is playing backyard tackle football with your friends only with more rules. I've played football and rugby for quite a while and without a doubt rugby is the more aggressive, tough nose sport. The hits are the exact same except no one is wearing pads. It's not even close, I respect rugby player toughness a hell of a lot more than football players.
I'm sure you'd call the sport gay to their faces right? Lol, I would pay to see that.

They hug each other around the waist and have a gay six man waist holding wrestle off for the ball.

and offensive linemen often hold hands for blocks, butt slapping is common and fumbles entail loads of sweaty man jumping on top of each other scrounging for balls. Ignorance is bliss for you though my friend, it must suck living in a such a narrow minded world

And....Because it's a sport not predominantly an American sport, you are a wrestling fan, got it.

You guys crack me up.
Do any of you sports hounds know who is the defending Olympic rugby champion?
The United States.
No pads, no blocking and no time outs except for injury. 45 minute halves. Say hello to pain boys and girls.
I'd like to see a couple of you long-winded asses get out on the rugby field. That'd be hilarious. The funniest part is that you would LOVE the game.
It is like "smear the queer" or "fumble annie" with a couple of rules thrown in. Everyone can run the ball and everyone can tackle.
I played fly half and full back. No, I am not FB size for football, the fullback in rugby plays deep like free safety, has serious wheels, and also functions kinda like a punter when needed (although anyone can kick the ball in the air or on the ground at any time).
Ever have a runner come at you, pop kick it over your head or around you, and then fly by you to catch it or pick it up again and take off?
Rugby keeps you on your toes, plays can last for minutes. Football is a serious of small sprints. Rugby is an endurance contest.
Did I see a John Carrol post? We played you guys tough at Hiram in the 80s: Sevens in the Snow baby, you gotta love the cuts from the ice.

The highlighted words are the key here from my view. If there is no blocking there is little if any contact except when making the actual tackle....which, correct me if I am wrong, is usually accomplished by grabbing the waist. I doubt that you see many Jack Tatum style tackles in Rugby.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but there are no forward passes in rugby, are there? Only laterals? Thus, there is less open field tackling.
Yes, football evolved from Rugby, but with no blocking and no passing, it is obviously a different game. Yes, still, it is too rough for me to play. I only want to play contact sports between the sheets.
