I never get why American Football is called "football", the athletes don't touch the ball with their feet. Soccer is the real football, we gonna change this aspect too..

it's not set in stone but historians tend to agree that football is called football, not because you kick the ball with your foot but, because it's played 'on foot' (as opposed to, say, on horseback). the nobs played on horses. the commoners played on foot.

in the 19th century, there was a more formalised split into association football (shortened to 'assoc' then morphed into 'soccer') and rugby football (played primarily by carrying the ball with the hands). both were considered football.

american colleges picked both these games up later and continued to call them football. the american game evolved into something different - especially with the introduction of the forward pass - but the name stuck.

simple :)

Thanks for all that precision
But it's such a violent sport this is crazy
 
i love fantasy football. and i hate it. and i love it.

i've had some real ding-dong matches this season.

i was down 12.7pts going into tonight. opponent had luther burden iii and cairo santos. i had jsn and d'andre swift.

but my guys are fucking beasts so i felt ok. then burden scored a td 10 mins in and santos contributed more chicago pts.

then jsn and swift came to play. 20.8pts and 26.9pts respectively and i won my match to move to 8-0 on the season.

also, it was a really great game to watch.

Damn man, I wish you had told me. I would've tried to help you out. I had no idea you were starting two duds.

I thought about buying Lassiter last night just so the others couldn't have him but decided to take my chances with what I have
 
Ladd, you better hope I never find a Death Note. Your name will be first in there buddy. This time it'll be worse than fucking back spasms. And after you will be every person associated with the LA Chargers. Not only for wasting one of my draft picks, but also for NOT ANNOUNCING YOU AS OUT UNTIL AFTER THE GAME STARTED EVEN THOUGH YOUR LITTLE PUSSY STARTED CRAMPING DURING PRACTICE.

I WOULD'VE NEVER EVEN STARTED YOU BUT PICKENS HAD A SORE PUSSY TOO SO I HAD TO SIT HIM. BUT AT LEAST HE HAD THE DECENCY TO TELL ME.
 
dude, i drafted omarion hampton with my 2nd pick. what a bust...

i'm up by 29.7 going in to tonight. he has james cook. i have tj hockenson. fingers crossed but, with the vikings defense, cook should be limited.

my highest-scoring player this week, so far, is ka'imi fairbairn. never a great sign when my kicker is my best player :)

Hey, me too!

So I have two linebackers left and my opponent has DJ Moore. And I'm nearly 12 points behind already. It's not out of the realm of possibility, Cashman is a dawg -- I just need as few targets to Moore as possible...
