here's some of the ugly. Of course whoever made the first video included some soccer fights which are notoriously wussfests.

lookout123 10-26-2009 04:45 PM
and here is one of the most amazing bits of skill ever.



and some more

broken bone gore douchechill warning
 
I didn't find the Cambell/Lambert goal line collision, but for sheer terror you can't touch Theisman/Taylor.

lumberjim 10-26-2009 05:54 PM
seen that....saw it live.....not watching it again today, thanks.

Griff 10-26-2009 06:01 PM
Me too. It physically hurts to watch that. I remember getting blindsided by a replay I didn't see coming...

Shawnee123 10-26-2009 06:03 PM
I almost threw up.

Damn.

I'm not saying soccer's any more manly, just I really find football like a huge pantomime. A wussy girly pantomime. They even have girly hair. And knickerbockers. And they need a break every ten seconds. To restyle it. :p

lumberjim 10-26-2009 06:56 PM
this is a troll you're perpetrating. we all know it, but we enjoy it just the same.

monster 10-26-2009 07:45 PM
good. I'm in one of those moods today. But damn, I'm sure I could take it more seriously if they didn't look so silly. I'm really trying to get into this whole football lark, you know ...when in Rome and all that.....

"perpetrating a troll"? is that, like, a hanging offense?

Go to one of the pee wee games Ive been going to all season - the sound of these 10 year olds smashing into each other is bone chilling. And they hurt each other... wind knocked out, teeth knocked out.... coach picks them up, dusts them off, smacks them in the head and they GET BACK OUT THERE!! Tougher than woodpecker lips these little kids are, I tell ya.

There were men with aching knees and backs and hands, from all those years of playing football. But their real problem was with their heads, the one part of their body that got hit over and over again.

“Lately, I’ve tried to break it down,” Turley said. “I remember, every season, multiple occasions where I’d hit someone so hard that my eyes went cross-eyed, and they wouldn’t come uncrossed for a full series of plays. You are just out there, trying to hit the guy in the middle, because there are three of them. You don’t remember much. There are the cases where you hit a guy and you’d get into a collision where everything goes off.

well it's about time something was well hung around here, cause those footballers sure ain't.
