Mulling over Mike Powell to Steve Asher 27 Jul 2006

>LL>Of course, Americans are more used to playing
>LL>a far different brand of football.  :)

SA>The brand where they pack-rape the ball (or each other), but rarely
SA>manage to kick the thing? :)

 MP> Uhhh... I've seen what they called "Aussie-Rules" Football before. 
 MP> They do a lot more pack-raping & touching in that one than the
 MP> American version.

I think there is quite a lot of individual raping, but not pack-rape.
The umpire blows his whistle when a pack forms.

 MP>   Looks like a cross between American Football & Rugby, with maybe 
 MP> a little "soccer" thrown in.

To me, American football is much the same as Rugby ... very little actual
kicking of the ball, but Rugby players dispense with the body armor.

Cheers, Steve..
