    The first time i heard this term 'NFL' was just after the superbowl when everyone was talking about football. and i was watching an ad on RTE2 and i thought OMG thats the first time RTE came up with a good idea.

    Show the season after the superbowl (coz as a fan i still know they wouldnt get the viwers if they ran during the actual season), and also get away with not paying for superbowl (sky and UTV aired it). I know people each year go 'that was good god i'd like to watch a season' ... but then by October its out of their minds until the hype with superbowl!

    So naturally i got excited again until i saw that same ad about 15 mins later showing Gaelic Football ripping off the NFL! I was shocked before then i always thought of the GAA as a classy organization, but obviously not... it's just plain cheesy!

    Then afterwards i saw they want people to call hurling NHL!!! What the hell is going on ... are they trying to piss people off!!!

    BTW i realised how unclassy when i saw what the managers wear ... hell in basketball ireland the manager wears a suit or a (as with the lions) a jacket with the teams logo on it), but in the GAA they wear something similar to what builders wear for safety!!!!

    I have contacted the real NFL through email and they have contacted me saying that they will be looking into it!!!! Things will change soon!!!

    right...where to begin ::

    perhaps it's the medication i'm on atm or whatever but I've read your first 2 paragraphs 4 times now and I'm still not sure what exactly your on about.

    I *think* you just recently made the connection that the GAA acronym and the American Football acronym are the same and you...

    ha...ffs.

    locked.

    /me looks at medication: idiot. no more for me.
