Since it's Super Bowl Sunday over here, and I just got in a mini-discussion with NESS, I'm putting the question to the board in general.

RUGBY PWNS.

Rugby

easily ! cause the players have both defensive and offensive skills and also because the game doesn't stop each fucking 30 seconds....

I don't get what the clock has to do with anything. The clock is factored into part of the strategy in football. If you can't use the clock to your advantage, you'll lose some chances of scoring. And offensive and defensive skills are exerted in football very much so.


FOOTBALL for me!!

Because its boring - a lot of people want to watch the game happen instead of it happen in instalments. Sure, using the clock may be all clever tactics and what-not, but to the person wagcing the TV it results in extended periods of nothing happening.

They've been getting some good recruiting classes though. I think they can at least put together a 9 win season next year. Maybe better.
