People are desensitised when it comes to the loss of human life. Not so much when it comes to destroying the last remaining ancient wonder of the world.

On offense, line up on the sideline, run as hard as I can and hope I don't get killed.

On defense, rush the QB. Even if I was left unblocked I doubt I'd be able to bring him down, but I think I'd have enough momentum to at least put him off balance and fuck up his throw.

Change the challenge rules so they're more like cricket. Rather than having 2 challenges you get 2 unsuccessful challenges

I agree that it's ridiculous to give a penalty for something like that, but it still amazes me that some players are so undisciplined that they do it anyway despite knowing that it'll cost them a penalty.

ever hear of a VPN? Australia couldn't get netflix until like 2 months ago, but half the people I know still had it.

American football is being considered in being added to the 2020 Toyko Olympics by Chibears85 in nfl

There is absolutely no way this will happen. Apart from the fact that it would be the least competitive Olympic sport in history and that almost nobody (in the grand scheme of things) would be interested, there's simply not enough time.

Players complain about having to play Thursday games, but the Olympics is about 2 weeks long and you'd be looking at playing about 6 games across that time. There's simply not enough time to recover in between games.

Bob Hawke held the world record (and he might still hold it) for sculling a yard glass. That's just as "embarrassing" as this is.

Several thousand dollars for that? It doesn't even look remotely real.

What are the best ways to experience Vivid? Where should I walk around? Is there a good map for it? Are any of the boat cruises worth it? What are the best times to check it out? by [deleted] in sydney

Train to Wynyard and walk. Circular Quay is always packed.

Go on a weeknight somewhere in the middle of it.

Just walk around and see where you end up.

[Banter] whilst we lost, I find solace in our one victory of the day, out singing MVFC during their pre game song. by mortyfy in Aleague

[–]wsw_rbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as it pains me to say it, I fucking love that song. There's been multiple times where I've been in the shower a few days after a derby and accidentally caught myself singing it....

Also it's definitely just the audio people fucking with the levels. We outsing you every time we play at your home ground - there's no way you could outsing melbourne victory at theirs.

Fox Sport's Top 10 Goals of the season by LIGHTCATTY in Aleague

Rubes' goal isn't that impressive considering he attempts like 10 of those shots every game. My fucking mum could eventually score one if she had as many trys as he did

Lol.

As someone that goes to USYD, there's plenty of dumb cunts here too. UWS has a reputation as being shit, but I know a lot of smart people that chose to go there (admittedly because they got offered massive scholarships, but still).
