    Terrible advert for the game in other countries. Anyone who just tunes in out of curiosity will think every game is like this. 


    I went to the first game in London in 2007, Dolphins v Giants - it was absolutely AWFUL.

    Collinsworth was almost impossible to listen to.

    Don't forget the constant ball-washing he was giving Steve Spagnuolo about being a defensive genius. 

    He talked and talked about "Spags" a lot, but didn't mention that his defense is in last place.

     

    But of course, he kept on yammering about KC's defense instead of saying a word about Daboll and his offense.

     

    If was shockingly one-sided.

     


    The way he went on and on and on about how Spagger McSpagface loves to blitz on 3rd and long… change the sodding record.  It was like being trapped in conversation with an old lady who just repeats the same sentence over and over with the words in a slightly different order each time.

    Agreed. The optics on that play were far worst then any actual contact Tre made. But it's just one of those bad luck plays for Tre and the Bills. The flag pretty much has to be thrown their or you never hear the end of the "Chiefs got jobbed" crowd.


    yeah kelce sold it well - but the refs really should have been able to identify that the ball was uncatchable.

    Whatever...shudder away. My point is, if you have one member openly seeking the opposite sex, within the confines of showering together, it MIGHT happen. an attraction at the very least. Is that mathematically improbable??


    Maybe, like the other 52 players, he just wants a wash?

    I could be mistaken, but I don't think said tough contact sport involves 11 other people racing down the field towards you as fast as they can with the express intention of de-cleating you.


     

    Correct.  But only as there are 15 in rugby rather than 11.  A significant part of the game is kicking the ball downfield and chasing, not too dissimilar to a punt in NFL, and attempting to nail the receiving player 0.0000001 seconds after they catch the ball - no fair catch rule unless you’re in your own 22 (roughly the same as the “red zone”) but you can’t hit the player whilst they are in the air if they jump to execute the catch.  That’s not the only situation in which you can get tackled by another player coming at you at full speed but it is the most likely.  

     

    At professional level rugby is a pretty brutal game - and they have similar concussion issues to NFL. 
     

    That said in rugby you are required to wrap both arms around the opposing player in the act of tackling (not doing so concedes a penalty at the minimum and these days either a yellow card (sent off for 10 mins - leaving your team down to 14, no replacements like a disqualification in nfl) or even a red (sent off permanently) - especially if you make contact above the chest - which does mean you can’t (legally) go full lunatic spear tackle / shoulder charge so the hits in NFL can be more extreme.
