Re: Drew Brees wants to “save the game of football” with flag football
There's no way! I can't be showing off surely, nowhere in there did I mention my 12 receiving TD's in my rookie season...oh wait....
Haha in all seriousness though, I think kids can afford to learn the contact stuff at a later date, getting them use to running, catching and throwing first in my opinion is a good way to introduce the sport without threatening major injury. |

Re: Drew Brees wants to “save the game of football” with flag football
Actually, rugby players rarely fight. The penalties are too severe now but in the old days before player safety was all the rage we were allowed to express our opinions and fight like Hell! As a referee there is zero tolerance for unsportsman like conduct. There is a definite spiriit of the laws that we adhere to. We had to cut down on running around naked to clean up our image too......... |

Re: Drew Brees wants to “save the game of football” with flag football
No. It is almost impossible to recreate the energy required to do the Haka. It is a beautiful way of intimidating your opponents brefore you take the pitch and kick their ass. The New Zealand All Blacks are the toughest rugby team in the world. I've seen them play several times and the Haka is intimidating and will leave you with goose bumps.
The best Haka I've seen though was a youth rugby team.......they nailed it! |

The O line is massive .. year after year. You're right though, that HAKA ritual dance can be intimidating to the visitors. |
