I can see who he thinks soccer players need to be creative. They constantly need to come up with new ways to make it look like they just broke their leg, or new celebrations on the rare occasion where a goal is actually scored. ;-) That being said, I loathe all the TD 'celebrations' in the NFL. I think anything more than spiking the ball shows they thought about and even practiced what they were going to do and should be penalized. As much as I hate the guy now, Tiki Barber did one of 2 things when he scored a TD. He 1) dropped the ball in the endzone or 2) handed it to the ref. I read a story a while back that when Tiki was in high school and scored his first TD he did some little dance in the endzone and he got benched. When he got to play again his coach told him, 'Every time you get to the endzone, I want yo to act like you have been there before' and it seemed to have stuck with him through college and the pros. </ threadHijack> On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Vivec <[email protected]> wrote: > > He describes American Football as being created solely for advertisers lol > > He also goes into the fact that American Football is played with an object > that is not a Ball at all, and is held primarily with the hands. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sD_8prYOxo&feature=player_embedded > > Funny Stuff in his usual Monty Pythonesque style :-) > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322206 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
