Even worse was having the second row grab your nutsack to make the scrum more compact. <BR/><BR/>I heard somewhere that the only sport with more complex rules than rugby was American football. I don't know if this is true but it is a pretty complicated game to understand. Still I think the greatest game to play might be cricket which makes no sense at all. What makes it great though is that in between teams batting you break to eat tea which is really more of a light meal. It would have been a great sport for the likes of Boog Powell, Babe Ruth, or the Fielders.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19249311478351453872007-08-28T16:46:00.000-04:002007-08-28T16:46:00.000-04:00Hell, even LEBRON was flying all over the place to...Hell, even LEBRON was flying all over the place tossing shots left and right.

When the two packs engage in a scrum, the scrum-half rolls the ball into the center of the pack and the hooker strikes or hooks if you prefer the ball back with his foot. Once it comes out the back of the 8 man pack, the scrum-half (akin to the American QB) can pick up the ball and send it out to the backs.<BR/><BR/>Rugby is a wonderful game but a little complicated to follow for the uninitiated. I remember having no idea what I was doing during my first game. The only reason it won't take off in the US is that it will never compete with our football.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-61173066566293323892007-08-28T15:32:00.000-04:002007-08-28T15:32:00.000-04:00sheik-So far we know that you've been in jail and ...sheik-<BR/><BR/>So far we know that you've been in jail and now we find out that you're a former hooker.<BR/><BR/>Good thing it is "former" though.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-22110080422802992762007-08-28T15:24:00.000-04:002007-08-28T15:24:00.000-04:00Sheik, you did just say you were a former hooker, ...Sheik, you did just say you were a former hooker, right?<BR/><BR/>Just as long as we're clear on this...ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-53390198315314231662007-08-28T15:06:00.000-04:002007-08-28T15:06:00.000-04:00Cycledan as a former hooker and tight head I am ps...Cycledan as a former hooker and tight head I am psyched about the RWC. The USA is gonna get killed in their group. One of my alltime favorite sporting events was when Scotland won the grand slam back in 90. Got to see Scotland clinch at Murrayfield then walked into the city centre and did the Rose Street Marathon after the matches. I might have been the drunkest 16 yo in Scotland that night.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-89500295461037074612007-08-28T14:30:00.000-04:002007-08-28T14:30:00.000-04:00Had to look up "muffin top" online.

(Means the roll of fat love handles squeezed out of tight jeans for all of you less hip like myself.)<BR/><BR/>I don't really give a shit about Vick anymore other than to find out how long his jail sentence will be. I bet he gets 10 months and will have to serve 8 of them. Kornheiser thought it was wrong nobody in the Falcons organization would talk about Vick. That was the only part of the game I caught. I couldn't disagree more.<BR/><BR/>As a Yankee fan, I conceded the division to the Red Sox a while ago. Now it is a done deal even if Yanks sweep. Yanks are only concerned now about Seattle and Detroit. Mets and Angels also have already won their divisions barring a collapse of historic proportions.<BR/><BR/>What will Mangini's new nickname be after their O-line shows they can't runblock or passblock? I think they should have paid of Kendall. Unless someone steps up at left guard, the Jets are not going to do better than 8-8. <BR/><BR/>Funny how Strahan is less of a story now that Tuck, his replacement, is playing great.<BR/><BR/>I would do the fantasy league except for the fact that I don't have the time to follow the NFL as much as I would like.<BR/><BR/>Is anyone else here excited about the Rugby World Cup? As a former rugby player (knees and back issues forced me to bicycle ride now), I am so disappointed in the lack of coverage except on Direct TV.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-79423448294323818702007-08-28T14:26:00.000-04:002007-08-28T14:26:00.000-04:00I'd counter that if you took a RB in round 1 (Will...I'd counter that if you took a RB in round 1 (Willie Parker) and a QB in round 3 (Brees or Brady) that you'd get more points than if you took Peyton in round 1 and a RB in round 3 (Thomas Jones, Clinton Portis, or Edgerrin James). <BR/><BR/>It's not the 2nd round RB I'd be worried about, since I'd have one of those anyway, it's the 3rd round RB. <BR/><BR/>I'll think about Peyton though.

It was a nice effort and all, but I really feel like the only part Vick was truly honest about was not being good at public speaking. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have a fear that Willie Parker won't be used in goal line situations, and that if I take Peyton, I'll have a really shitty 2nd RB in the 3rd/4th round. Maroney's shoulder still scares me, and Rudi Johnson while consistent, seems like a reach at #7.
