A thread for the football fans on CAF!

Hoping the Steelers climb the Stairway to Seven this season.

And then thereā€™s this:

Personally, Iā€™d rather them try to turn at least the semi-finals and finals into a best-of-three, but itā€™ll never happen. It would cheapen some of the branding too much.
 
The pre season is waste. The Eagles are barely playing their starters. Carson Wentz who missed a good part of last year hasnā€™t even played and probably wonā€™t until the regular season. Itā€™s a good thing too because their number two and three quarterbacks were both injured this preseason. Most of these teams make season ticket holders pay full price for the pre season games so Iā€™m not sure if they will want to eliminate any of them without making the regular season longer. And with all the concern over concussions and injuries it would be hard to justify adding games to the regular season.
 
I could see Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie signing her. He likes to be ahead of the curve as with signing Michael Vick.

I was worried this might be a European Football thread until I saw the big brown odd looking ball in the thread title! šŸ˜Ž

Go Eagles!
 
If sheā€™s out there, she should be treated like any other kicker; no kid gloves because if gender.
 
A few things with kickers. They for the most part are separated from the other players. The defense practices together as does the offense but kicker is off by himself practicing. When the sidelines are shown during games the players are sitting together but the kicker is always standing in the back practicing. If youā€™ve ever heard ex football players on sports talk radio they half joke that kickers arenā€™t really football players.

Another thing is kickers have very little physical contact during the game. Only on rare occasions is there potential for contact such as the onside kick, the botched field goal, and a kickoff that is returned a long distance. Even in these cases usually the kicker is not involved in contact. But if she sticks around long enough she will definitely be involved in physical contact eventually.

So kickers are an important part of football but are not really considered football players. This isnā€™t me saying it, itā€™s players who say it.

Not NFL, but I remember watching an arena football game years ago where the kicker, who only had one arm, managed to prevent two touchdowns on kick returns. He basically just threw himself into the path of the returner and caused them to trip. It was kind of impressive to watch.
 
Nice story. I donā€™t watch arena football but Iā€™d guess there are more long kickoff returns and thus more occasions for kickers to get involved in physical contact.

I remember Brian Billick saying this a few years ago, and he got ripped for it.

Iā€™ve been a fan of the Dallas Cowboys since 1967. They lost the ā€œIce Bowlā€ to the Packers that year and Iā€™ve hated Green Bay ever since. I own more Oakland Raiders stuff than I do Cowboys, but black suits me better. Matches the color of my heart. LOL

But if weā€™re talking real football, itā€™s Manchester United!! šŸ™‚

I still ā¤ļø AB, and thatā€™s why I say I think he seriously needs an intervention. Something is off with him and it goes beyond football

The Antonio Brown situation is another example of how out of touch pro sports is with the real world. If in any other business an employee threatened and had to be held back from attacking a superior whose forty years older, forget about deciding to suspend the offender, that employee would be immediately fired and escorted out the building by security guards.

Itā€™s a complete lack of respect for oneā€™s elders, superiors, for the rules, for teamates, for the fans.
