Been playing football for about 4 years now, play guard and DT at university level.

Most of the comments you get from Brits talking about football is that its boring being too stop start and that its rugby for nancies. But the breaks allow for a much deeper strategic element and as for wearing pads, it means you can hit harder. I'd describe rugby as a contact sport while football is an impact sport.

As for my team I'm a die hard Raider, just a shame about this year. Still with this years D and hopefully some pickups for the offensive line, some coaching changes and a decent draft I'm hopeful we might get towards a .500 season next year.
