      Boy, they're really missing out. Sorry browns board brits, but while rugby is fine, it really sucks ass compared to football.

      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

        Well, I also hate to say it, but overall I think that Americans are better at pronouncing the English language than the Brits are. Perhaps not the "Queen's English" but the common street English is always what I call "clipped" by the Brits to make their words almost indescernible. E.g:

        Th' Bri'ish alaze den say th' ends of the' wuds" Tha' sim t' cu' off th' last si'a'bol. I' makes i' 'ard t' fo'ow wha' tha are tryn' t' say. Too righ'?

            Yhanks for the post. It is really fascinating to me to see how little they really know about the most popular sport in this country. But then again I know even less about soccer then they do about football. Maybe on of the men from over the pond could tell us if this is common or if this group has a below average football IQ. Also fascinating to see what the did know about and how they relate it.

              let's wotch some tele in the lounge. or at it's best the gaaaayraj.

              love the brits. they gave us our independence and have stood by our side since. (serious props!)

              europe is very cool, but expensive. only thing they do worse than us is tabloid news (i guess it's great if you love that shite).

                Im dating a Brit and she is like clueless like these girls. Dont worry guys I am turning her to the dark side "a browns fan". Now I have to watch this sport they call football which is really soccer and pretty boring.

                    It's all culturally based. That's all I watched when I lived there. As a tri-citizen of the USA, Ireland and England, the NFL is WAY better than anything on the planet.

                            Oh yeah, sure. Don't you remember the brits just handing the U.S. independence, no questions asked? They've been good friends since around the start of WWI but before that we had some fights. You might remember hearing about that, right? The revolutionary war? The war of 1812? They didn't join in the civil war, but they did consider it, on the confederate side. That's a fact, jack. Look it up. If Antietam hadn't been such a horrifying killing field we might have been looking at a much different United States right now. Guess the brits didn't have much of an inkling to see their own boys' bodies filling up the sunken road, and really who can blame them? I do love their music and culture in my lifetime, but they're still largely missing out on football.

                                FYI Most Younger Brits have good teeth and its the older generations that have jacked teeth that put Austin Powers to shame.

                                  Well if we are stating facts the colonists did get kind of greedy...

                                  But how can you expect to rule such a large group across an Ocean.

                                  Soccer is great. Far far more exciting than baseball. How the hell that's still around idk, tradition I guess. But looking at these ballparks not filling up maybe it will start to fade.

                                      But how can you expect to rule such a large group across an Ocean.

                                      Soccer is great. Far far more exciting than baseball. How the hell that's still around idk, tradition I guess. But looking at these ballparks not filling up maybe it will start to fade.

                                        I like how that have that one random Florida fan who obviously knew everything. And I have a feeling if you asked that Blonde girl what 5x10 was she would come up with 15.

                                          This was funny. yep, over here people in general have no clue whatsoever. I'm always up for some explanation activity to genuinely interested people but the ones who open with NFL is gay rugby get ignored by me. Your game of football is the greatest sport available to watch on this planet and if people want to judge it from a position of ignorance, let them. GO BROWNS.

                                          Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS!
