I get it....I felt the exact same way about hockey....until a buddy in T-Bay finally talked me into going to a Lightning match with him, and I freaking loved it.What's wrong with hockey?
It is absolutely nothing like soccer...I was bored to tears by the professional soccer match I went to.Hockey is essentially just higher scoring, more exciting Soccer though lol
It is similar to Soccer in structure at least, which is what I was talking about. It's a game primarily of movement, set ups, and positioning just on a much smaller scale. I like Soccer but I agree, of the two, because of the speed and physically, I much prefer Hockey.It is absolutely nothing like soccer...I was bored to tears by the professional soccer match I went to.
Soccer is played on a giant field by dudes running around like ants playing keep away....Hockey is nothing like that, you've got all these guys, a lot of them are HUGE strong guys, flying around on ice at insane speeds and hitting each other on a relatively small field of play....it is fascinating live.
In the words of the Red Headed Stranger in a western I can't remember the name of..."Old Sam Colt makes everybody the same size"This is funny if you know what a hoss @LaagerVol is. Dude thought he would be tough until he sees Laager step out. He then had the "oh $h!t" moment and told Laager to get back in the car.
Same energy...

Nah...IMO..he is just going around stealing as many bags as he can get fools to keep giving him.If he has 15 sacks this season they won't care if rapes puppies. But he won't and he's moving because he thinks he's elite and he's not.
There are still plenty of the old timers that need it done the traditional way but kids expect $20/hr with a 15 minute phone break every hour. I made just enough so that my mom wouldn't have to pay for anything of mine so she could support my brothers.Facts.
On a side note, I think all teenage boys should be required to spend at least one summer hauling hay. I’m sure it’s all done by machine now though.
You guys do realize not everything is rhetoric...right?It was an observation on tough guy rhetoric in the form of Smashing Pumpkin lyrics, if I understood correctly. @Cosmo Kramer with the reference ID.
And yet...it is stillMight as well be in sports. There are no objective measures, of course, but it's not even like music, where a strand is popular but demographically naive. People watch what they enjoy, to Jack's point...and soccer is worldwide and across generations. The closest thing there is to an objective measure across humanity. No other sport comes close.
I think I made like $12 a day. My breaks were the ride in the truck from the field to the barn lol. Not many kids these days know about helping mom/dad out.There are still plenty of the old timers that need it done the traditional way but kids expect $20/hr with a 15 minute phone break every hour.

Yeah...I agree with what you said in that tense, I wasn't meani g to argue...I just wanted to make the counterpoint that they are nothing alike in actual play.It is similar to Soccer in structure at least, which is what I was talking about.
