Then let's see you relay that information to the other ten guys in the huddle. Then you get up to the line of scrimmage and start barking out the signals. The defense comes out lined up in a 4-3. All of a sudden the strong side corner starts to creep up. Then the strong side linebacker does the same. When the ball is snapped you have a 6'3'' 240+lbs guy charging you and a very fast 210+lbs guy chasing you. Your only choice is to get rid of the ball quick.

Or how about this situation. Defense is in the same 4-3. Only this time after seeing his corner get burned time after time, the free safety slides over just a tad bit. The QB doesn't recognize this. on the snap he thinks he has single coverage on his WR. He throws and the ball is intercepted by the free safety. Yeah I'm sure you could be a QB. You think playing football is all about just being physical? Tell that to the OL who have to learn blocking assignments or the DBs who have to learn coverage schemes. Tell that to the WRs who have to learn complicated routes.

WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT LOL!!!. I was basically saying how superior NFL is as a sport compared to MLS and tcomparing a poor league like MLS that has a 14 year old saying there wouldnt be a 14 year old in NFL is unfair because NFL is a tough league, read properly and chill out

there is no comparison between MLS and NFL...the MLS is by far superior

I also said football and Soccer are hard and skilled in different ways i didnt just say it was physical

lets face it, every sport is hard to play at top flight level so the poll is meaningless and so is this thread...I think none of us probably have the skill of Zidane(soccer), the hitting ability of Bonds(baseball), Dominate the paint like Shaq(Basketball) and the athletic ability of Randy Moss(football), etc.

I don't know about that, certainly more than baseball, basketball.

Look I'm not trying to argue about this because I like every sport and I am not a "fanboy" of a particular sport like some of you are, before you try to blast back i dont mean you, and I could careless what the hardest sport is since I enjoy all of them just about equally.

What I said was just something interesting, for the people blasting baseball, basketball, football. I was just trying to say that there are probably more teenagers playing or with a pro team in soccer than there is in basketball,baseball. So by that I mean that you probably have a better percent playing professional soccer than baseball or basketball by looking at the odds. That mainly goes to the people that are saying that BB and BB are easier than soccer.

Just because you have "played" all of them and you think one was easier than the other, well I doubt you played against good players.

Like I said I like every sport just about equally and I don't care which sport is the hardest so don't go nuts on me for stating of what "I" think.

well maybe because there are more than 1 pro soccer league in the world so you have more teenagers duh! lol

I guarantee, the people that say football is easy, run up and try and get past a 245 pound 6 ft 1 Ray Lewis and get knock the f*** out dude I would much rather love to see that instead :funny:

So it makes it hard because some guy dressed up like Robocop can run into you Anyways rugby is far superior than american football, oh and dont give me this bull**** that in american football they tackle with more power and collide harder because if they dont how else will those hit hurts considering they are wearing all those bull**** pads

Not only that, in rugby when u get tackled, play carries on, u get bundled by 5 other guys, stamped on kicked on, it's not just one hit then the whistle blows. Oh and yeh no protective clothing, just a T-Shirt and shorts.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, but the Rugby players don't go through the training regimes in the off season like Football players; so I will say that someone like Ray Lewis is just a more dangerous man (even if you're in pads) than anyone playing Rugby.

 

[rhizome17]

What do you mean 'training regimes'? Rugby players have training regimes in the off-season... which isn't actually all that long. a full season goes from february to december, so janueary is their only 'off-season'.

 

[Caponedawg]

Ray Lewis is a dangerous man...period.

 

[xxxFLYERxxx]

Ray Lewis will murder any rugby player.

Literally.

really? that doesn't make him tough to me-it make him a psychopath

 

[HellsideUltras]

yeah murdering someone dont make you tough especially if you used a gun, but anyways i seen ray lewis play and he is tough though and hes awesome on defence But rugby still rules

 

[LilPlayaJosh]

Although alot of people do, you cant really compare American Football and rugby. They are two totally different games. And also to anyone who would know whats the differences between Rugby and Australian rules Football or are they the same thing?
