One of these threads again.
The yanks can chuck out there all the stats they want it doesn't mean anything because those big guys are trained to play 20 seconds at a time and wouldn't last in a rugby match. All that muscle and size takes a lot to move and they'd be having an heart attack after 5 mins playing Rugby.

The only position rugby players can play in the NFL is Kicker, and thats exactly where a few kickers (or punters) from the NFL came from . Darren Bennett for one.
BTW, he was a rugby player, and NFL player. He said NFL was definitely tougher.

Originally posted by Haglerwins View PostThe NFL would be worse than Rugby if they were no padding and I believe the excess padding developed from too many player deaths in the beginning. Rock's just stating the obvious from a physicality standpoint and his quote itself gives that away, I seriously doubt it's a harder 'sport' to play.

He didn't exactly blow the lid off of anything with that statement.
American football is a padded p*ssy sport in which the ball is only in play an average of 11 minutes per game. The rest of that time is divided up between penalties, time outs, replays, huddling, and commercial breaks for advertising.
Weak.
