Here, here. I used to watch the odd CFL game until I saw a Rugby game. Kind of makes "football" (come on you don't even use your feet- except one guy)look like a sport for old ladies compared to the non-stop blood bath that is rugby. Go Scotland!

Oy- one of my friends plays ruglby- coed rugby at that. I've seen the bruises she comes back with!

But let's not bash American football, fellas. It's certainly not my favorite sport, but no one is saying 'your' sports are terrible, okay?

what are you talking about Shay? Cricket is aweful!

no only kidding. I do wish I had some channels that got more Rugby games

American football used to be good. I remember well guys like Max McGee, Dick Butkus, Mean Joe Green, Fuzzy Thurston. They played heads up down and dirty football. These days they're wimps by comparison with so many rules it might as well be called nerfball. Add to that, the old timers sure didn't get rich playing ball like some of the newer guys do. What some of em get paid is obscene.

You're right Shay. Every teenage boy is truly thankful for the cheerleaders

I wish we had those in Hockey

The same can be said for most major sports these days. I grew up when Hockey players still didn't wear helmets (love live Randy Carlyle and the Winnipeg Jets), soccer players cared more about their clubs than their hairstyles, and footbal players could spell their name not just count their money. And I am only 29.......
