Fair enough.

I've watched American sports for a long time.

I've seen some 'names' play...

and in every game there was a winner...

I guess it's all pointless. :-*

In the big scheme of things, no doubt.

I got all excited that with the hitting and the tackling it would be a lot like football...

Quote from: ungeheuer on August 22, 2015, 04:57:35 AM
Final score 97 to 97....

A game can end in a tie?


...but then I realized it was more like futbol.

The game, although exciting, has gone soft. Tackles and hits that would have won a free kick when I was playing, now get you 4 weeks suspension. Bah!

Congrats.   [thumbsup]


Now, can someone from down-under explain to us from up-over what "carn" means?

Not from there, but in that context it's like 'C'mon Hawks'!

I figured as much from context but was hoping there was more background to it.
