I love American football. The pads don't keep them from getting hurt...they
keep them alive. A British friend told me one of their better rugby players
tried out with an American pro team and brought his broken body back home
with a whole new attitude about what constitutes hard hitting. He didn't
offer any details about who or where. Rugby players are tough people though.
The games are too different for meaningful comparison. Good natured razzing
should continue anyway. /jmac

We knew - we were being heavily ironic.
Now, it's a damn silly game and you know it - if you want to see big
blokes damaging each other without the use of weapons or body armour
or helmets or any pansy stuff like that I recommend Rugby (either
code - I prefer League) or Australian Rules footy (which I don't like
at all but it still makes more sense than Ice Hockey or that weird
type of pseudo-football you play there).

(Yes, irony alert - but let's get a fight going anyway).
