I've always been a supporter of women's sports, and a lot of dudes
could improve their games by watching them. I used to watch a lot
of women's golf when I was a good player, because it's honestly a
lot easier to emulate them due to the huge talent gap between me and the dudes.
A 5'2" chick cranking a golf ball 250 yards is impressive to me.
Basketball is much the same. No way I could ever do what the dudes do.
My sister won a National Championship in softball at FSU. I never won shit.

Here's our 6'5" 245 lb. QB yesterday. If he'd have scored, they'd show this clip forever.

I noticed he fended of the opponent by the facial grill . Correct me if I’m wrong but you can’t grab someone’s grill but you can still make contact to the head ? Is that correct ?
I’m still learning the game in areas

This is the part about American football that is so unique . It takes “ specialist position or job to the next level . Most of our top AFL footballers can also play defence if required .
Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve never seen many quarterbacks during a game move to be a receiver or more so defensive position . I’m guessing for a start they’re way too valuable to risk ?
Their are a few players that have played both offense and defense. But usually only a few plays. I definitely would agree most players specialize at their job in the game, Quarterback they definitely wouldn't want playing defense because of injury. But sometimes go out for a pass in gimmick plays. Offense runs through him and he'd generally be one of your highest paid players so protect him as much as possible.

Yeah pretty much as I thought .
It’s another reason your game is so unique ,
It reminds me a little of chess , make the right moves and you’ll break the line eventually.
They are pretty talented at what they do

The player with the ball can push, but not grab, a defenders face mask.
Defenders can no longer make contact with a QBs head, for safety reasons.
A player can contact a ball carrier's head with his hands or arms,
but using your helmet to launch into another's head has now been
made illegal, too. Been a bit of tough sledding on this one, because
in the past, they taught kids to tackle using their helmet as a weapon.

Well we are now going down the same path I believe you guys already have and I think we are all aware of long term brain injury so surely in the interests of a players health long after their career ends we need to protect the head .
To be honest I’m really surprised UFC hasn’t been modified because of this risk and even the age old sport of boxing .

I believe someone truly famous will have to get CTE before anything
really meaningful gets done about it. They pay a bit of lip service to
it here in the states, but the helmets they're designing aren't doing much
that I can tell. Every game I saw yesterday had a kid go down like a sack
of potatoes with some type of head injury. I'd imagine that you folks down
there might take it a bit more seriously, but who knows?? Y'all might just
be as full of shit as we are over here!!! :ROFLMAO: 🤡:ROFLMAO:

Maybe if somebody related to a team owner got it, but otherwise, the leagues are fighting against recognizing CTE and its effects. Admitting the existence of, and the damage done by, CTE opens them up to lawsuits from past athletes and threatens to end sports as we know it.

Athletes are just disposable bodies to be used until they are of no further use to the people in charge.


I can just barely watch MMA these days, and to do it I have to try to dehumanize the fighters. As an old guy who abused his body only a fraction of what these guys do, I know the misery their future holds. Every day will be endless pain in every joint if their mind doesn't turn to mush first. :(

I just don't watch combat sports any more. I used to really like to watch boxing,
but not so much any more. I no longer want to watch 2 poor people beat the shit
out of each other for the 'bread and circuses crowd.' That may be a little reductive,
but that's where I'm at these days. 🤷‍♂️ CTE is a horribly destructive disorder, often
leading to tragic and violent ends.

Totally agree on your angle .
Any sport where you potentially knock someone out can’t be a good thing . Was pretty sad watching Ali in his latter years .
I do admire the courage of these guys , especially UFC but I’m also thinking as I watch it , how are these warriors brains going to function in latter years .
I only really brawled as a young punk as a last defend yourself resort . The idea of punching someone in the head to me never sat well .

Finally out of the drunk tank and back home, eh?
I was wondering if they'd ever release you. :ROFLMAO:

(how's the torn muscle?)
Hahaha reality sux
I’m much prefer the drunken island haze of riding a scooter at 0300am with more luck than skill.
Yeah the old pec finally fell back into happy mode again . I’d never torn a muscle in that area before . I’m definitely now permanently retired from Tequila pole climbing events .
Bit of a shame really coz I thought I may be a chance of taking the over 50s drunken fool title .

Thanks for the kind words, ya bugger, helps more than you'll know.... :cool:

These were purportedly posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are supposedly the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a great sense of humor (not to mention a low tolerance threshold for stupid questions).

A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.

Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? ( USA)
A:Depends how much you've been drinking.

A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles. Take lots of water.

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia ? (USA)
A: Africa is the triangle-shaped continent south of Europe . Australia is the big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not…Oh forget it. Hippo racing: Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

Q:Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

Q: Are there any ATMs in Australia ? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay ? (UK)

Q: I heard about a kind of bear in Australia that lives in trees, but I forget its name. (USA)
A: The Drop Bear drops out of gum trees & eats the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

This gave me a good laugh and to be honest I’m not surprised at all . We must be remote enough in the world that only those that have been down can get an idea . I’d like to think we are perceived as more than just a land full of angry wildlife 😝.
Our streets knowadays are where the dangers can be .
Post WW2 were good years for the nation with multi culture taking hold and evolving into a real spread of interesting citizens .
The Aussies even learned to embrace “ Wog food”
😂. They learned that Squid was more than just bait for fishing and that Olives did actually taste ok , especially on Pizza .
Unfortunately the next main influx bought violent culture with it . Knives on the streets and gangland mentality began becoming frequent in the cities .
Anyway I’ll leave it at that . I’m happy living away from it all up the coast .
I hope your mending well brother . We have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world so I’ve seen plenty of it . I reckon it would take a bit to knock old Huey of his feet though . You still got shit to do anyway 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👍🏼

Yeah, I've had a rip roarin' GI tract infection the whole time, too.
Spewin' out both ends and miserable in the middle, too.

Thanks again, mate - Wish I was able to get up to a few more hijinx around here.

I am so happy I live way out in the country these days, same as you.
