Heh... I was going to say there was plenty of parking, but it's a heck of a long way from the freeway exit.

The Packers' offensive strategy is more geared toward throwing the ball rather than running with it. As has been said, when the ball is thrown the other team may intercept it and thereby gain possession of it for their own scoring. Not surprisingly for that strategy, the Packers often lead the league in intercepted passes -- an ignominious statistic.

Gawd, I hope you lot aren't going to start talking about eligible receivers, 4th downs, tight-ends, lines of scrimmage and other stuff which only interests people living in the 50 states (and perhaps the 10 provinces in "Bacon and Maple Syrup land" up north). 
If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

We have our own variation up here in "Bacon and Maple Syrup land", but I don't follow either; hence my confusion.

Heck no.  It's baseball season.  Time to talk about the merits of bunting with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out in a tie game after the 7th inning, 4- vs 5- man rotations during the stretch drive, and whether those proposing to bring the DH to the National League should be shot or merely exiled for life.

Is it even possible to explain the offside rule?  ???

WAAAALLLLEEESSSSS!

Here is hoping. Probably fluff it though.

Anyway. Baseball, rounders innit.........


Sorry, wandering off topic.

Interesting use of media. Never though to do that (ref pic page 1). Went to look at a few stadia at that scale for the heck of it.

WAAAALLLLEEESSSSS!

We'll see in just over 24 hours.  If they beat England, they'll each be 4-1-0.  I'm not sure where they are on tie-breaking criteria.  No one else can even match England's record.

Let me promise you that not even all of us living in the fifty states care.  Which gets tedious enough when all of my friends on Facebook appear to.

Could never get that interested in organized sports.

Managed to follow the Sumo season one year.  But half of that was just enjoying the ritual and pageantry.

Now you're talking the REAL oval ball game!!



Wales have a points difference of +29
England have a points difference of +43
Overall points difference is 14 in favour of England.

If England wins, they win the Six Nations and the Grand Slam
If Wales wins by less than 7 points, England wins the Six Nations
If Wales wins by more than 7 points, Wales will win the Six Nations
If Wales wins by exactly 7 points, the Six Nations will be won by whichever team scored more tries (that's like  "touchdowns" for the yanks/canucks) over the whole tournament. Wales lead 7-5 on that count, so if its a draw, England will have to win the try count in the match by at least three

We used to watch that in my physics class.  (See also--why I never really learned physics.)  I have a perverse fixation with curling, though I don't get to watch it much these days, because we no longer get the CBC.  But the closest I'm going to get to putting the kid into sports, unless he asks, is requiring him to take swimming lessons.  No team, just learning how to swim.
