Lobby Guidelines
You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!
The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site
But remember, always play by the rules: here

Once in a while something else happens to briefly enliven the tedium, except in a "perfect game" in which the tedium never ends. I'll grant that it is slightly more exciting than golf, but that's a rather low bar.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostNo, more like one team with the ball trying to outwit the team without the ball, only about half of which are banging into each other. I enjoy watching it because it is pretty complex; each member of the team has to perform his job correctly in order to win each play (as opposed to baseball, where it's basically a pitcher dueling a batter, and the rest of the team only gets involved if the pitcher loses).

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostIt is complex because there are a lot of good athletes with an instinctive feel for the game involved. A team playing like you did as kids would struggle to defeat high school teams, let alone a professional team.
All you would need to do is start playing the National Anthem and then run a touchdown while they were all kneeling.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostLooking at virtually all professional sports there is a world of difference in how they're played today than they were back in the 50s and 60s. Back then during the off season most athletes had part-time jobs to supplement their income. Spring Training in baseball was essential because most of the players showed up out of shape and out of practice. Not now where most train year around. It wasn't uncommon for players to still be half drunk when they were out on the field. Many still party pretty hard but they're now much more careful not to let it interfere with their job. Plays made routinely today were considered exemplary back then.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
