Many players used to die before the advent of padding in American Football. Not quite the same issue in Aussie Rules.

Like the lad in arachnophobia?

[Q.]

i lol at the comments people make about nfl when they have no idea about it.

I'll admit I have no idea about it.

All I see is blokes wearing shoulder pads and that is enough for me.

I don't think many would play 2 games in a row without the helmets and padding. Some of those guys would make the Australian 100m sprint team, and weigh 240lbs.

With the help of steroids

11 seconds to run 108 yards while dodging people is damn good!

Pfft, try doing it with a telly under your arm aswell.

Hahaha - Gold

It's rife in HW, LHW & MW divisions. No need for it in lower weight classes, although it occurs.

Been well documented that it's standard practice in NFL though.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Standard practice in many sports.

Yep.

Let's face it - it makes for a better spectacle.

Since Roger Goodell has been commisioner there has been a crackdown on drugs, and players are being rubbed out for even minor infractions. Houston Texans MLB Brian Cushing was suspended and had the Rookie of the Year award taken off him a couple of years ago for using PEDs.

Ray Lewis has been accused of using some Deer Antler crap to overcome injury, but after an investigation, he was cleared.

They take it very seriously now. Goodell is a tyrant.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Could have the natty Olympics and the roid Olympics. I now which one I'd be watching. The one where they throw the javelin into the crowd at the other end.

True. There has been a push for the UFC to adopt a similar program now being used by the NFL.

And can't cook

[CENTURION]

don't watch.

[Wedgie]

Any food show except for Hells Kitchen gives me the shits.
Even worse when they babble on about it on Nova in the mornings as theyre obviously paid by the tv network.
Think I preferred the Big Brother days!

[The Sleeping Giant]

I'm a fan of rick Stein and his cooking shows, and Ramsey, river cottage. The rest, especially the competition shows are crap.

Yup Helmets are important and so are the padding I seen many a running back and wide receiver nearly killed with some of those hits. The padding they wear in hockey is smaller and more designed to protect the body from when the puck hits you.

[Johno6]

What about when the puck hits you in the mouth and your a ref?
