Thoughts on regs pretending to be fish by sitting in short and then topping off after a few hands? Seems like they will get action from other regs idk. Kinda ghey imo.

very gay and i always insta sit out those ppl

I actually really like my mac and its not slow. It just does not have the processing power to run parralels plus windows plus HEM plus FT etc I believe. And I stated I don't knwo a ton about this stuff.

hilarious to come home drunk and read that a heads up poker discussion has gone to soccer vs. real football, vs rugby...not really on topic.

that being said, only in soccer can you see a dude get kicked in the shin and insta grab his head and start crying. pretty fem imo.

f=ma. american football players are both bigger and faster than rugby players and soccer players, this is fact. how exactly you think that they would be able to hit harder than nfl players if they had pads is beyond me.

and to whoever asked about microphones in the helmets, in the nfl only one player on each side of the ball (1 on offense and 1 on defense) is allowed to have a mic. this is typically the quarterback on offense and the middle linebacker on defense.


edit: also want to add that i realize rugby players are tough as ****, and i think it's a cool game. but thinking that there are harder hits in rugby than in nfl is a fallacy.

+1, I quit them just on principle. BTW you unstuck yet?

lol at jsnipes reading ability

Oh noes. Regs playing regs. That's so bad for the games! I say ban any reg who will try to get action from other regs.

Why is American football called football? It is mainly played by hand.

Soccer = football
American football = handball with a kick now and then

Who said regs playing regs was a bad thing? Everyone was just saying it is gay when a reg sits with like $81.26 at an NL200 table and tops up on the 3rd hand like they think they are tricking someone into playing.

If anything, it's gay that they get so little action from regs that they have to try that sort of stuff in the first place.

Im a New Zealander so I support the All Blacks and everything (even played rugby for 10 years) but now days I'm finding rugby league so much more interesting to watch. Bigger hits, better tries, the game is more flowing rather than stop start stop like it is in rugby.

Also in terms of toughness, rugby league > rugby union ainec. e.g Andrew Johns played with a collapsed lung for a whole 2nd half (40min) in a rugby league State of Origin match.

what's the difference between the 2 of them ?
in terms of rules

this x over9000

Rugby league, you have 6 tackles then the ball is turned over. Generally its 5 tackles and kick on the last.

This guy was like the pin up boy of rugby league (until he switched to union)

And this is the best try of the 2008 season. Watch the slow motion replay at 55sec, its sick.

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah I play regs all the time. Just don't try silly tricks, just sit with me and 95% of the time I will play.

yeah rugby league is tough as *** bunch of northern thugs getting studded in the hand reaching for the ball in pissing rain in the middle of December. And the tackles are relentless rugby players dont try and make the crowd go ohhhhhh big hit they jus put the man to the deck and try to win the ball. Also saying american football players are bigger and quicker is ridic.

In rugby(union and league to a degree) you have backs which are normally 14-16stoneish and quick as *** with the wingers normally being quickest(easily sub 11 second 100 metre guys) then you have the forwards who are still relatively quick(most of them) for their size and they are normally anything from 17-22 stoneish and have ears chewed off, permanently broken fingers, shoulders so tough from tackling players of all sizes(without pads). And believe me I used to play rugby and to say that anyone doesnt hit as hard as they can because they aint got pads is not true lol.

People occasionally get hurt playing badminton and billiards as well.

i can attest to this, i have witnessed an innocent girl get rocked in the jaw with the tip of a cue, unintentionally!!

I was going to make a sexual pun on this, but I think you already did.

i don't know anyone who calls their penis a cue stick

I do when the tip is rockin the jaw of an innocent girl imo

I got this yesterday. I have a friend that has got to Hanspree's and both of them had a dead pixel. This is my second Acer and they have been perfect. Plus this monitor has the same resolution as the 24" you were looking at. This thing is great, as the reviews say. It also comes with the hdmi cable. Which is a huge plus. Going to get another one later today to replace my 22" (1600x1050) acer.

just lol to this. yes they are very tough. no they aren't as big/fast/athletic as nfl teams (or college for that matter). here is the starting defense for the new york giants
i'm too lazy to look up the results for each individual player but here are some combine results from last year's NFL draft (the top 300 or so prospects coming out of college). also note that the most elite players generally don't do these workouts at the combine, so this isn't like the cream of the crop.

If you look through you will see all the 40 yard dash times as well as the bench press numbers. They test each player to see how many repetitions of 225 pounds (~102kg) they can do.

I'll give you the full rundown on one rookie's results since it seems comparable to a rugby player's size and he is a good player.

i would be extremely surprised if you could find rugby players that measure up with those metrics. and i'm not using some freak outlier here either, he played in a middling conference in college, is a good player, but nothing too amazing--he is an average nfl running back.
