It is real football as in NFL football. Just because you play soccer with your feet, and the French call it football doesn't mean that's right! You play baseball with your hands, should we call it handball?

Well, I play rugby, you know the game real guys play, the one without time outs or tv breaks between tackles, no pads, relpacments only if a cut requires 6 or more stitches, two halfs of 40 minutes each with a 10 minutes break at the end of the first 40 - you know that kinda game .

I have a Soccer team on the ESPN fantasy league - that's way I asked that question!!

I'll give you rugby is a good sport, and it is similar to Football, but the guys who play it aren't 300 lbs running 5 second 40 yard dashes either...

I agree, but let me tell you that in rugby the "tight five" or the prop forwards are usually above 300 pounds and are required to run constant for 80 minutes - not just a one or two dashsers, a few high fives, a chicken dance here, an obsecene gester on the tv there.

Anyway, if you want to watch a good Rugby game, there is one on tomorrow at 3:00 am PT on FOX sports world (Direct TV) - It's between New Zealand and Australia, the two top teams in the world.

3:00 am ? coz it's live from Sydney, Aust.

I know, you can tivo it and watch a replay later.

And back to the original question:

I would love to get a league set up for the BOLers who would enjoy it. Michael and I are both fanatics who would enjoy doing something that we love with all of you guys as well.

Alien: I love soccer (sorry Michael). It's a game of skill and of stamina. I played a little in college (we had a club team, not a varsity team). I actually founded our club team at one college and it is now a varsity team. I've never played rugby and will tell you that it's because 1)I've always been undersized and 2)I've never been around it except when I was on the soccer team. My cousin plays rugby and just loves it.

Back again......if Michael or I set up a free online Fantasy Football league for BOLers, would we be able to fill the league?

Puhleeze, these guys aren't athletes. Real athletes don't have a 45 second break after every 4 seconds of play, don't have 6 timeouts per game, don't suck oxygen every time they leave the field. Real athletes also don't showboat by pulling out a cell phone or a marker when they score, don't trash talk the opponent, and certainly don't wear 20 pounds of padding. Remember the old "Battle fo the Superstars" competition from the late 70's and early 80's? Where sports put up their respective stars. I remember Kyle Rote Jr (soccer) kicking everyone's hiney 3 years in a row. No football guys could come close to his fitness level. That still is truye today, where a soccer player may run as much as 8-10 miles in a match, a football player may run about 300 yards.

That being said, I'll sign up, but need to do it from home. I'm blocked on our firewall from accessing pornographic sights (yes, NFL is pornographic...at least to real footballers)

Draft will be an autopick draft since we have so many time zones here, and I seriously doubt we can get everyone to agree on one time. (Unless we all want to have "an important meeting" for lunch one day!) I will run it when everyone has signed up.. There are room for 12 total teams.
