Hello, Aardy.
How's you tonight?

I am good.
I have played Lego Star Wars all day, and my brain was starting to hurt, so I thought I'd come to /talk instead. You?

Been awake since saturday, and am a little addled because of this.
But I'm smoking a joint, listening to Tom Petty at superbowl and happy.

That is unlikely to help with your addledness.
But if it makes you happy, then it's probably a good thing. I give you the Aardvark Seal Of Approval^TM.

There's a stage ON THE PITCH
and fans running all over it...during the 45 minute half time in a game with 4 fifteen minute quarters, each of which has many many short breaks in play in it.

There is so much wrong with this 'sport'
( elusive I'm not really here. You're imagining me, Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:08, archived)

It was designed for ad breaks
You can't get many of those in a proper footy game.

I know
but it really irritates me, especially when you see how much they all get paid as well.

The thing is, when they finally manage to pull off one of their 'plays' and score, it's actually quite impressive, but it only happens twice a game or something stupid and you have to sit through the rest of the nonsense to get to it
( elusive I'm not really here. You're imagining me, Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:13, archived)

And this is different from the Premiership how exactly?

( jim_bob can herd cats., Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:14, archived)

The 'season' consists of 16 games
plus a few more if they get to the superbowly stuff
It only lasts 17 weeks each year (plus the superbowl etc)
Each game only consists of 60 mins of actual play, with barely more than 45 seconds of continuous exertion at any one time
Since each team literally has about 3 times the number of players they actually need, constantly available, none of them ever even play a full game anyway

Premiership footballers are overpaid, but these guys are just taking the piss


Edit: unless you were talking about the nothing happening bit, which is fair enough, but at least there's a constant flow towards trying to score etc, as opposed to timeout, discussion,timeout,discussion, timeout etc
( elusive I'm not really here. You're imagining me, Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:20, archived)

I can see how that would be irksome

( jim_bob can herd cats., Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:22, archived)

every team is essentially two teams anyway
offence and defence
( Jenk Neptune is a pedant and now I can't fit my sig in, Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:22, archived)

apparently they get paid less then english footballers
on average
(rigby happened on (and with added toothache), Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:16, archived)

after endorsements
they get shitloads.

Apparently Prince played last year.
Enough said, really.

I don't understand American football, and I lived there.
I prefer lolfootball.

I used to watch the kids training when I worked in the summer camp
After three months of it, I still don't understand it. I pride myself on understanding what a "layup" is though :)

Basketball is pretty straightforward.
FOOTBALL FTW THOUGH

OMGSUPERBOWL! I've only watched the superbowl once.

i was in SF while one was on
it was great.. the streets were empty.. we skateboarded down that swizel street (usually rammed with traffic)

I wish I could skateboard. I have one but it scares me. I'm jealous of you now.
Thanks.

i fell over a bunch of times (it's pretty steep)
if that helps
(rigby happened on (and with added toothache), Mon 4 Feb 2008, 1:17, archived)

No. No it doesn't. I think I may have to get it onto the road now.
Not now, exactly....it's too cold and dark. Plus it scares me.
