Broads learn football

During my sick day I stumbled upon “Broads learn football” (linked from my sister’s website)

It’s a blog that details the efforts of two women trying to learn how football works. These devoted patriot fans want to learn it on their own, so before you go to the site realize that you should not tell them anything or give them any hints on the rules of football in the comments.

Anyway, I highly recommend you scroll to the bottom of their site and read all the entries and comments. There’s so much humor.

Favorite Quotes
(regarding the mascot for the Dolphins) “I mean c’mon, the dolphin’s even wearing a tiny little helmet — how cute is that?”

“The right guard position begs the question: Is there a left guard? Or a wrong guard?”

“Let’s talk penalties. I know a little about holding. While most of us like to be held, apparantly football players don’t ”

Well done Hadas + Nancy. Well done.
Someone should do the exact same thing for Cricket.

    American Football is actually an extremely different sport than Rugby. Though yes, your football is our soccer. American Football is a game like none other. You need to move to America. Sports are way better here.

    rugby and american football aren’t all that different except for the forward pass. rugby doesn’t have it, so rugby looks a lot like nebraska’s old-school “option” offense. the goal in both sports is the same: score touchdowns and kick field goals, it’s just the method of getting there is a little different. and in rugby league, they even get 6 “downs” per possession, similar to American football.
