I used to watch American football when I was a kid, but then I grew up :lol:
* arclight wonders how the Jets are doing these days
Its still a game I can watch, but not something I would go out of my way to see.
Quote:WE DID invent....
The Airplane, Automobile, Telephone, T.V.
You like to think you did, but you didn't
Car - Karl Benz - German
Phone - Bell was scottish, and invented the phone while living in Canada but...... the broke italian Antonio Meucci couldn't afford the $10 to keep up the caveat on a patent for his phone. He later sold his prototype for a few hundred dollars to a 'scottish sounding gentleman" to make ends meet. IIRC Meucci has now been credited with inventing the phone.
TV - John Logie Baird - Scottish
Aircraft are more complicated, but the Wright brothers were the first to achieve 'sustained powered flight', which is a different thing to 'inventing the airplane'.
:P :P :P ;)

Football rules.

Not really a Steelers fan. I just like good football. It is so cool to see a program come together.

The computer was invented in the 1800's by Babbage. Electronic computer by Tommy Flowers in 1944. Both english BTW :)
One thing you don't get in soccer is teams upping sticks and moving over to the other side of the country
