Hi Guys,

As a sports fan, i like to watch most sports on TV. I am sitting here at the moment watching the Superbowl and just can't understand it.

First of all, This is a sport i could involved in, the plays only last about 10 seconds and then they stop for a commercial break (Plenty of thime for a cigerette).

What is confusing me is this 1st down and 10 :confused: .
Now i understand the 1st,2nd,3rd downs ect but what does the and 10 mean

Yours confused

I am doing exactly the same thing... well I vowed never to watch rugby again after the weekend!

say it was 2nd and 6, it means they have got to gain 6 yards before they get another 1st down.

what I don't understand is why they need so much padding... bunch of girls!

Surely, if you've had a first down it would make more sense for the next down to be the second :confused: :p

ok, suss this one.
Tonight i go watching Amir Khan, the boxer.
He get's beaten black and blue, and his nose put all over his face, with a big cut right accross the bridge.
Other than his obvious defeat, it is a good fight.

Yet he won 23-4?

explain.

i can't wait to see the papers in the morning!

could it be the ABA safeguarding their £70k investment????? by fight fixing??????? Nahhhh, surly that only happens in pro boxing??????

cheers

Okay it is not easy to explain American Football. The important thing to remember is that my team--

The NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS won the Super Bowl. :D
