American Sports Thread

Ice hockey is fantastic - and I'd have it above any of the other North American sports

I meant my opinion of it...

[Puckoon]

Ice ockey may be fun to play but from a viewers stand point it's last, seconded only to lacrosse.
plus it gives puck a headache trying to watch the ball.

lacrosse- hurling for the co-ordination impaired

2-0 to the Lakers. Don't sese the Magie coming back.
I'm sticking with the lakers in 6.

I can watch Basketball - but I would turn it over if the NFL was on another channel.
I'm lost in the summer out here with no NFL until the Autumn.
Setanta is delayed coverage, Justin.tv is horrible quality and with the way things are money wise I don't have $20 + every other weekend to take in a championship game live at the pub.

money is tight as hell over here - for me anyways
$20 to watch the game - 9am in the morning you'll take a breakfast - that's another $12 at least
It all adds up

Steelers Superbowl rings

[magickingdom]

why bother putting world champions on the ring ?

why bother putting world champions on the ring ?

To distinguish between all the different years and winners?

[AZOffaly]

I suppose the losing Superbowl team get their respective conference rings, so maybe the 'World Champions' tag is just an exclamation mark to differentiate on first look between them and the Conference rings of the same year.

Are Tyrone Gaelic football world champions 2008?

[AZOffaly]

I suppose they are, yes. And they have more right to the claim given New York and London are eligible.
