when the Steelers-Patriots game began.
Not being from the US, this is a phenomenon of which I am unfamiliar. What's it all about? -- Jack VK2CJC / MM0AXL FISTS #9666 CW Ops QRP Club #753 Mid North Coast Amateur Radio Group www.mncarg.org Skype- vk2cjc MSN Messenger- (this emails return address) |

I would hazard a guess that soccer or rugby (played w/o padding) is a bit rougher. I understand that the difference between soccer and rugby is that in soccer, injuring your opponent is incidental to scoring while in rugby, scoring is incidental to injuring your opponent. ;-) 73, Bryan WA7PRC |

A friend (with tongue in cheek) explained it to me, "The first rule is, there are no rules." ;-) As a kid, we used to play touch (American) football in the schoolyard. It was too easy to tag a ball carrier, so we made it two-handed. That was too easy, so we made it two-handed-below-the-knees. Whether your tagged the ball carrier or not, you were headed for the ground. The question was how much it was going to hurt! ;-) 73, Bryan WA7PRC |

(which seem to comprise 90% of the broadcast of an American football game...) |

They wear padding and stop for a chat every few minutes. In the USA universities are rated on the success of their teams rather than any academic achievement. -- g4jci |
