Jackson won a five round decision. My dad taped it for me, but taped over the end of the main event.

Lup, just because they wear pads doesn't make them pussies. If any Rugby players hit as hard as Shawne Merriman, they'd be wearing pads too. Or they'd be dead.

Yeah american football players are twice the size of rugby players. And by the way Zell, the Pats are going to win this weekend. :)

And the UFC kicks ass.

Just as I'm not counting out the Patriots, you shouldn't look past the Chargers. I think it'll be a great game, I'd put my money on the Chargers pulling it out but who knows. This is one of those games where even if we do lose, it's not gonna be that big of a deal. I just checked the line, the Patriots are favored by 4, but that's only because the game's at Foxboro. Either way, this should be a great game. Possibly even a playoff preview.

Says a lot for steroids and performance enhancing drugs. One is pure, one is doped. Take your pick. Also; reading past your point - wouldn't that mean that Americans are twice the size of (Ausies)?

I'd like to see a full contact game between the NFL or AFL (Which I want to call Alf) and the UFC/PRIDE.

One is pure, one is doped? So based on that ignorant statement NFL players are all roided out while Aussies are completely drug-free? I don't think either extreme is true.

As for a full contact game between the two sports, a full contact game of what? Football? If so, the football players would absolutely crush them. NFL players are amazing athletes, I'm positive there are players in the NFL that could have been amazing MMA fighters if they had chosen that path.

But we're comparing apples to oranges, of course if you take a random NFL players and stick him in the ring with an MMA fighter he'll be at a big disadvantage. They don't train to fight, so does that make them inferior just because MMA is YOUR favorite sport?

Well let me say now that UFC fighters are losers because they can't beat Tiger Woods in golf. Apples meet oranges.

Nope, we have stringent anti doping shit for our footy players, however we don't seem to care much when they're using recreational drugs.

And as for the size? Bullshit. Go on youtube now and search for clips of the World Cup, which is on at the moment. Take a look at some of those hits, and the size of the blokes doing it, and then you can come back to me.

And AFL is a very different kind of game to rugby and Gridion, they're endurance athletes pretty much, most midfielders running a marathon by the end of a good game.

But one thing Zell, how can people in the NFL be such amazing athletes when they stop for a break every couple of minutes?

I don't care. Full contact water polo. Hell, full contact golf.

Fact: The NFL is one of the least stringent sports enterprises when it comes to the use of performance enhancing drugs. True, it was an ignorant statement on my part as I have no fucking clue what those ALF'ers do about 'roids and the like. UFC is a close second alongside Pride.

The point is I was trying to make a humorous, sarcastic comment that got taken far too literally.

Besides - the best footballers in the world play in the CFL!
