They play the game like real men should in the land down under

I want to thank Debbye for linkin' to an OzGuru post that I had overlooked which linked to a post of Simon's that I had overlooked which compared Australian Football with American Football. Jeez, it makes our game look like it is played by a bunch of sissies. Uh, wait, might that be highly overpaid, cry baby sissies?

And the same thanks from me.

Don't tell Ozguru (shh!) but several years ago some Australian footballers invaded the Usenet baseball site and claimed baseballers were sissies. They were encouraged to visit the American football site to, you know, compare protective equipment. It was a non-flame war with some good-natured jibes and insults.

I never had the courage to check with the football newsgroup to see how they fared.

But don't forget Pat Tillman in your assessment of football stars!
