Precisely.

Can someone tell me why NFL players wear all the padding? What a bunch of wimps.

Ever seen the hits in Aussie Rules or Rugby League?

Your padded sissies wouldn't last 10 seconds.

I agree, plus I think they only have to last about 4.94 seconds(660 seconds of actual plays / 133.6 plays on avg) per play in the NFL, WITH PADS ON! Friggin' sissies!

Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

Like I suspected ... sounds an awful lot like baseball.

P.S.  On second thought, I'm not so sure that you're talking about cricket because nowhere in that explanation did you mention tea! :-P

Hockey rocks ... but we're not talking 'bout hockey here, we're talking about football.  And your team is called the "Alouettes."

It's hard to argue with @Shorty 's "padded sissy" moniker when the definition your teams mascot is "a French childrens song for group singing."  (Insert emoticon of a guy laughing so hard that milk is coming out of his nose here)

We were gonna go with the Mighty Ducks but it was too far ahead of it's times. In any case, I'll stay on topic here: North American football sucks regardless of the number of downs. Yeah, that's right, I said it! Booyah!

Spot the difference.

One of these guys clearly cares more about retaining possession of the ball than the other.

Um.  No.  I played rugby for a number of years.  I love rugby.  But the hits in the NFL are an order of magnitude harder because of the pads.  BUT, I love the bashing.  Keep it up.  This is what this thread is for!

What's up with that pseudo-basketball game the ladies play in Australia anyway?  What, they aren't coordinated enough to dribble in OZ?

That's why they all destroy their knees and ankles.

Guys play netball too :-)

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Two words: Synchronized swimming.

Yeahyeah I know...they women's duets could beat the Browns.

Yet oddly, when you put synchronized swimmers on a soft mat and call it rhythmic gymnastics, it is absolutely awesome.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.

      I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.
