Newsflash: America doesn't give a crap about the UK. The country is already mostly irrelevant and will become even more irrelevant after Brexit. I wish we had sanctions in the past on the USA so we wouldn't have to put up with there crap like Hollywood, Rap music, KFC, NBA and Jersey Shore. Is this...

Bimbo's point about productivity in Europe is both false and self-serving. Europe as a whole manages to be both productive and have sensible working hours. The UK is an outlier which manages to have both long hours and low productivity. https://i.redd.it/p10tlik3u3l21.png Does GDP per hour worked a...

Denver signed Russell Wilson as an elite quarterback on elite quarterback money. It seems everyone has now decided that Wilson is actually just above average and his entire career has been a bit fake :lol: This annoys me actually because this has more or less been my position for years, from back w...

Just another example of league being persecuted for stupid reasons. I'm not sure there are any other sports that seem to have to jump through so many hoops just to exist. I can vaguely remember something similar happening in Morocco and the UAE. Give us a break...the biggest issue standing in the w...

The Vikes are now 5-1. If I was to be honest, perhaps only in the Green Bay game did the Vikes look like a team with the potential to have a 5-1 record at this stage in the season. The punter got the game ball in today's win against Miami :lol: Looking like a bit of a fraud with that record. Amazin...

The inclusion of Greece struck me as surprising even by RL standards…had a google and found this interesting article from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/63236572.amp

Sure, and the English premiership has come a very long way in producing a - largely - excellent product. But the NRL is just on another planet when it comes to sporting spectacle and entertainment, although I will admit to not watching a huge amount. The bits I do see are always gripping. But then ...

This game is doing absolutely nothing to undermine my suspicion that league might just be the superior code. I don’t think there’s any such thing. There’s only subjective opinions. I find league boring and monotonous. It’s five hit ups and a kick, most of the stuff the makes rugby rugby has been st...

Then Saints equalise with a 60yd FG

This goes back decades. Definitely a cursed franchise.

Gooey , Fonzee Look at that score in Lincoln. Sooners 35 Huskers 7 Only half time I see this was from a few weeks back, but man as someone who grew up in the 90s it's kinda sad to see how far the Huskers have fallen. Not sad at all. It’s the only thing that still makes college football worth watchi...

IIRC fonzee you predicted Jordan Davis(99 for Georgia last year) would be a hall of famer. Signed to the eagles :smug: I would love to take credit for that, and it does sound like the sort of snap judgment bullshit I would say (see above) but tbh I have no idea who you're talking about. Another rea...

Oh yeah, btw the dream is gone, Georgia put their foot on the gas and now lead by 4 with 3 minutes to go

It seems he's already a known quality but this tight end Georgia has, Brock Bowers, is just insane. 6'4, 230 lbs, apparently runs a 4.55 40, making all sorts of plays all over the field, and still just 19 years old :shock: Kind of bullshit that he's not allowed to declare for the draft until 2024, t...

It won't be long before Scotland field a side with the vast majority non Scots born. It's a poor show It’s also very unfair for emerging nations that lack the ability to bring over pro rugby players — the likes of Argentina and Georgia would be in relatively higher standing if it was a level playin...

The Edinburre match 23 that lost the thriller to the Bulls included six SA born players: Props WP Nel and Pierre Schoeman Flyhalf Jaco van der Walt Fullback Henry Immelman Props Boan Venter and Luan de Bruin from the bench both ex-Cheetahs SA born Wes Goosen joined Bur...

Sure, but what would be the point of additional teams if they'd likely just be chock full of foreigners? Aside from increasing the visibility of the game in wherever an extra team would be located I suppose.

In the FIFA world cup the New Zealand team can go through undefeated. Not so in the rugby world cup. That would have been a lot funnier pre 2011 :(. Bloody kiwis taking the fun out of life. The young bucks will never understand all the grief the Kiwis had to cop back in the day. It's the 2015 RWC t...

Only two teams 3-0 at this stage already. Can't see the Dolphins holding onto their unbeaten record anyway. Giants had a chance to join them but their hopes are quickly fading. Down 10 with 4 minutes to go. Have to say though, Daniel Jones looks markedly improved. Dealing fairly well with some imme...

Very happy with the Eagles start. 3 convincing wins against mediocre/poor(so far) teams is all you can ask for. 2nd game in a row we've taken a commanding lead and not bothered to chase the scoreboard anymore. 2 good pass options in Smith, Brown and Goedert but feel we're missing a Blount style Jug...

Are teh AFC and NFC's north and east divisions more iconic than the other 4?

I still do very much believe in the Bills, and the backup secondary has been pretty good today, but the loss of Micah Hyde for the season is big. And of course as I say that, they give up a 50 yard bomb to Waddle. No matter what happens though, I can already tell you not to read too much into whatev...

Trudeau is an authoritarian. Removing people from the financial system when they haven't been convicted of any crime because they peacefully protested is troubling for anyone with their head screwed on. He is the son of Fidel Castro. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This thread certainly i...

Unless this guy has form, it just doesn't strike me as intentional. Reckless and sloppy, sure, but he obviously slipped if you watch his foot.

It boggles my mind that anybody thinks this is even remotely comparable to the Callum Clark incident.

Bills might be for real. Like for real for real. They look the best team so far Not just that, they look simply unstoppable on both sides of the ball. There's a guy in my fantasy league who's a big Bills fan who's been posting all sorts of memes these first few weeks; on the one hand I'm really hap...

I know Herbert threw the pick 6 that changed the game but there really is a lot to like about him. Yes, he is the future.
