My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Impressive.....
....for people who have to wear pads.

Say what you like but American football players are the best athletes in the world. I have made my point. The rest of the world can continue playing pattycake.Originally Posted by Alexanderofmacedon

Re: India takes down England again...
SFTS - I will agree that American football players are very impressive athletes - but the "best in the world"? No.
At american football - yes at other games - no.
I do not think that the Patriots would beat Aussie, England or India at Cricket (they would probably take New Zealand) nor Brazil at Soccer nor Malaysia at badminton.
I also know that they would not beat the All Blacks at Rugby. Even with their pads.
The best athletes in the world would be a good topic for a different thread - my personal vote would probably go to Gymnasts. Those guys are freaks.
Black to the cricket.
Never fear the skippy's across the ditch you will have a good three day match against my beloved blackcaps starting tomorrow. Our boys will struggle to last three days with the team we have, and I wager that the Aussies will spend two of those batting!!
Congrats to India. Good to see a new team rising, albeit at home and with a few age issues for a few of your players.

Re: India takes down England again...

I didn't know lineman took hits that hard.

I think we have strayed a bit wide down the leg side and seen rather too many googlies in this over for my liking.
I shall therefore be forced to raise a finger and declare this thread out just before tea.
