Would it reflect badly on our country if I said that I vaguely recall being told that as a bedtime story? :hmm: :wink:

:lol: No.

That's such a great story. As is the one of Jonah Lomu trampling ... Mike Catt, I think it was, in the 1995 World Cup semi-final. I'll be telling that one to my kids.
 
dude the football convversation is 100000x better than the let's post pictures of bono's ass conversation last week.

However, it definitely is NOT a sport for pansies. Ask anyone who has played it.

If you need to wear a helmet and padding to play a game that isn't even as physically violent as rugby, then yes, it is a game for pansies.

Rugby players seem to cope just fine in shorts and t-shirt. I don't recall anyone dying or being horrifically injured lately, do you Timo?

(Though I'd consider ANY injury to Dan Carter to be horrific. I hope that boy's leg is healing well.)

I truly believe that my choice to defy my parents orders and watch that semi-final live was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

Here's hoping for a Pop encore tonight.

Now this would be a great Popcore:

Mofo
Gone
Wake Up Dead Man
Last Night On Earth

:drool:

I barely even remember the game now. :sad: I need to get a video of it!

But yeah, watching that was a pivotal moment of my childhood.

switch the last two and I'm sold

I love the idea of Gone --> Wake Up Dead Man. I prefer UTEOTW --> WUDM, especially thematically, but sonically I can imagine the wailing distortion of Gone fading into the distorted noise of a full band WUDM and it's awesome. :drool:
 
I'd be all for that Pop closer, but not with LNOE as the closer. I think that would be the worst choice from that list as a closer.

Rose and I are being emailed from the show by the (very smart) sfU2doc.

Axver,

With all due respect (And among posters here you have A LOT of mine), have you ever watched much American football? There is a reason they went to all of the padding and helmets, etc. It didn't start out that way. It's actually a VERY violent sport. Case in point, a wide receiver who graduated from my university, Texas A&M, was playing for his pro team, the Green Bay Packers the other night. He was hit so hard after making a catch, he was lying motionless on the field. It ended up being a concussion, a common occurence in football, but either way, it was serious. Without the padding, he very well could have died. Just a thought.
