How to Be Cool and Fail Big in Football

This one is so stupid, I don't even want to laugh, but I can't stop laughing anyway.

:)

You know that scene where a guy is in a car going slowly down a road, sees a pretty girl, makes eye contact with her, grins and starts to act real cool only to run into the back end of the car in front of him?

:)

Well a guy named Kaelin Clay of Utah just did the equivalent--with victory dance and everything. And Oregon said thank you very much.

Here are two different angles of the play from two different broadcasters.

First the play from the best angle:

And then this one where you can see Kaelin Clay's full victory dance and all his cool moves as he shows off to the fans.

Unfriggen' believable.

yep...

If I am the coach, he would need to transfer to another school because he would never play another down for me again.

That game occurred on October 25, 1964 against NFC rival San Francisco. As shown in the video above, Marshall, a member of the famous “Purple People Eaters” line, scooped up the fumble and ran it 66 yards into the end zone.

The video is in the link...watch the San Francisco player, in red, shake Jim Marshall's hand.

Marshall was a great defensive tackle and part of the Purple People Eater defense of the Minnessota Vikings whose home color was purple.

Why called "touchdown" anyway? A player only has to enter the end zone with ball. In rugby the ball has to be actually grounded over the try line, which is more sensible and makes for more excitement when a defender can get himself under the ball.

I recently watched a rugby game (match?) for the first time , it was between a US team(club?) and the New Zealand All Blacks. I enjoyed the action and the movement of the play or the way to advance the ball seems to be more 'civilized' and sporting . If it gains in popularity here in the States I would certainly be a viewer. Though it wil take awhile to get used some of the aspects of game, not sure yet how to make sense of the giant group hug crabwalk thing :smile:

Ah, so that is why Rugby is the number one money generator and exceeds American football in audience share?

Your first?! I think there'll be more, the USA will catch on to rugby and be competitive one day, I bet. I saw that match and while it was a wipeout in the end, I was impressed by Team USA's attacking flair - defensive tactics let them down - and by the huge enthusiasm and good will by a big crowd and by the commentators. The All Blacks have been world toppers for a long time, though they'd been narrowly beaten by the Springboks a few weeks earlier. (The "crabwalk" is a set piece called a scrum, after a minor infringement, shoving to win the ball by the eight forwards of each side).

Ha! And soccer - yuck - is the biggest generator of all...

Tony:

I believe that is audience,, not income generation. I believe the NFL has that claim to fame.

And there is a move to internationalize the NFL with the London games, three (3) of them, with four (4) set in London next year.

Hell, Roger Goodel is not making 38 million a year for being politically correct!

Seriously? More than soccer globally? That's a quite incredible fact. I sorta understand football and what I've seen of SuperBowls, enjoyed it. It must be a cultural thing, what game one has played oneself, because rugby's best for me!

Tony, I said I believe, however, I do not know how we would even measure the soccer money...many of the teams out their are virtually appendages of the state.

Unless I am mistaken which is always a possibility.

I played American football. Love the game.
