Haloti Ngata?

No way would he be playing rugby today at 340lbs. He'd have to lose the paunch and be closer to 280-300. NFL makes it easy to carry that extra weight since you have plenty of time to recover between plays. In rugby a guy that weight would last about 10 minutes and that's being generous.

He's near the same size as he was when he played Rugby though, hth.


Edit: nvm he played in HS so was prolly 280-300 then.

Come on Dom. Lets be real, if a rugby player could make in the NFL he would. They arent fast enough or strong enough to make it in the NFL. But put someone like Vernon Davis on a rugby squad? OH LAWD!!!

It's not that clear cut.

American football is an American sport. If you grew up in NZ, Australia, Tonga, Samoa, etc., what exposure would you have to NFL? No one is playing it at school/college. A Maori kid would dream of playing for the All Blacks. So if he one day he makes the squad, is he going to suddenly turn around and throw that away to try out for a sport he has no experience playing?

I wouldn't argue that some NFL players would be devastating in rugby if they turned their back on the big money in NFL, but there's really no point comparing the two sports because they're completely different.

Anyway, if we're talking about numbers, Stephen Paea from New Zealand got 49 reps on bench in the combine last year. If he didn't move to the US in his teens he'd still be playing rugby.

Finally, drug testing in rugby is governed by WADA. Put the same protocols in place for NFL and you won't see the same levels of speed and strength.

I've been going around everywhere today with an improperly buttoned shirt.

Skipped a hole buttoning it up so it's been crooked on me all morning.

Winning.

I am thinking of using the word "perogy" in place of the word "prerogative". Your thoughts?

Home with a sick kid today - I've changed 8 poopy diapers, and 3 of them have required outfit changes.

Sorry, PG316 . Nothing worse than a sick kid. Hope he feels better. Better out that end than the other, though.

I wonder if in 150 years or so people will be having World War/Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan/etc. reenactments?

I mean it almost sounds in bad taste to suggest so, but I wager you would've gotten a similar reaction if you asked the same question after the war in 1865.

But look at people now. Having a jolly old time getting dressed up and playing the North vs. South.

Not a sermon. Just a thought.

This was a few years ago: Some soccer kids in CA wanted to name their team Mujaheddin or some thing of that sort. Their argument was that people name their sport teams Vikings, Barbarians etc all the time.

Similar to what you are saying. It is probably only ok after the generation involved in the war and their kids and grandkids are gone.

[Turco]

Besides, it is easier to reenact a war where people lined up on a field and shot at one another. For WWI and WWII, you need to dig trenches; for Vietnam, you need a jungle and rice fields; and for the Gulf Wars I and II you need a lot of dust, sand etc. Too much work.

It is easy to reenact select battles from the Civil War due to the relatively primitive warfare. Everyone pretty much had muskets and canons and ran around an open field, like a bunch of *******s. However, WW1, WW2, and later wars involve much more technically advanced battle sh*t. For example, how would one reenact a Vietnam battle scene, with gunships flying around, to and fro, blowing the anus out of ground troops? F*ck if I know. Well, there was that scene in the movie Rushmore where the lead character puts on a play and provides a somewhat realistic simulation of a Vietnam skirmish. I would also imagine the trench warfares of WW1 and WW2 were pretty boring, well without the massive deaths occuring. Anywho. Apropo, the Civil War seems much easier to romanticize. It was just North vs South. However, there are a lot of people who had reservations of the Vietnam and later wars even occurring in the first place. There were more emotions going on. I don't know.

i'll just continue talking to myself.

Anyone watch Animal Hospital

Yeah. I do. It's hilarious

I agree. Monkey actor on a TV show = win

[ThickAsABrick]

I'd like to respond to you, but I just can't find any interesting posts to reply to.

I'll keep searching and let you know.

I imagine this will remain unique to the civil war. Afterall, it's not like there are reenactments from the revolutionary war, the war of 1812, or other wars even earlier in our history than the civil war.

[ThickAsABrick]

They only reenact wars so the idiots in the south can pretend that they won the war of northern aggression.

Most southerners are probably not aware that there were other wars in our country's brief history.

Cheers.

[Orlando1234977]

Hish, Chuzzle, and Farles are in there too. That's 6 total ranters. Maybe next year we'll have more

Plus big ole Peter Gibbons who pulled no punches on Farles in week one. That's at least 7.

Coincidence that the despondency comes at the same time Me, Manlysauced and Taab are the names listed for playoff berth competition for bragging rights without limitation? Hard to say.

People do all sorts of stupid things without thinking about how it affects others, so yes probably they will. I was going to dress up as a building with a plane sticking out of me for Halloween in 2001.

All good points and a good discussion.

Thank you.

I would estimate that applies to 77.3% of my posts.
