I don't understand American Football. It's like rugby without the padding right?

no. they wear more pads than rugby players do. and they dont keep going like rugby players....it's far more structured and regimented by rules.

fantasy football is all about statistics made by individual players.


the thing with this is....that if we dont get the required 12 teams to fill the league, it wont be formed.

American football is more of an old-fashioned military exercise, or a chess game. It doesn't compare, and it isn't meant to compare, to rugby.

And buy pizza for everyone who beats you? Get ready to fill up the tank. It is not a short drive to my house from St. Louis.
