You basically made a claim that no other nation could field a team of football players with the physical prowess of US football players notwithstanding their actual skill level.

That is just ridiculous.

Your right that is ridiculous but I was taking into account skill too..wasnt in that one specific post but on the next post I elaborated with it.

 

[jchap]

They can produce the players..I dont know if they would be competitive though. I know..I know it sounds extremley ridiculous but I have never seen these things thats why Im saying it...a japanese quarteback? Just saying that boggles my mind. It might sound douchey but oh well, Im completely serious here.

Google Timmy Chang. Asian american QB with just about every collegiate passing record

Never heard of him pretty sure hes not in the NFL. I dont really watch collegiate football btw. And hes asian-american. If he was in the olympics hed be playing for us.

googled: I never heard of him lol..And hes only 30 years old.

I am fascinated though.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Nope.

How accurate is this?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

How accurate is this?

0% accuracy

 

[KingItachi]

How accurate is this?

It may not be accurate but it does have a point.

 

[John Dunbar]

0% accuracy

every breakdown i've seen has put the average playing time to about 11-12 minutes per match.

Lol yes and all of them are false as hell.

 

[KingItachi]

The commercials during an NFL game is crazy they run them like they are going out of style.

 

[John Dunbar]

Lol yes and all of them are false as hell.

compelling argument.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

An NFL game plays for 60 minutes

 

[KillGore]

Face it americans, the world will never love football so just embrace your "soccer" overlords, you hipsters.

Might as well add dodgeball to the Olympics too, right?

I would watch it, fun game.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

compelling argument.

I mean its true though, 11 mins sounds sarcastic or something.

 

[Ezalc]

If they flipped that all the way around, I'd watch it.

Only way I'd ever be interested in American Football.

[Impeccable]

Lol yes and all of them are false as hell.

Where are the true as hell stats?

 

[KingItachi]

Where are the true as hell stats?

Don't know but the games are usually 3 hrs and you what takes a major chunk of the time.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Hold on let me make them up like those were.

Actual playing time in football is 11 minutes

11 Minutes of Action
According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.

In other words, if you tally up everything that happens between the time the ball is snapped and the play is whistled dead by the officials, there's barely enough time to properly masturbate.

Seems to be true

 

[John Dunbar]

someone broke down super bowl xliv:

http://joshmadison.com/2010/02/08/actual-play-time-of-super-bowl-xliv/

total of 12 minutes 38 seconds. i know it's just one match, but it was done just to see are those other break downs accurate. are you saying all these are just made up?

First off what do you mean by one match? one whole game? one whole possesion? one half? one quarter?

 

[cutmeamango]

One match.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

One match.

We dont call them matches whatever they are.

 

[shira]

That has nothing to do with the "physical" claim or what I am talking about.

Then what are you talking about?

Er, one whole game. If it was really that confusing, you could have just clicked the link.

the game. super bowl xliv, as i said.

Total time in play	12 minutes 38 seconds
147 plays

the link has more specific break down.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Im not sure what crack you guys are smoking but each quarter is 15 mins. Its impossible for the whole game to be 11 mins. You all sound like you dont know shit about football but trying to argue it like you do.

Dude, you have two links that break down a football game. Click click and read.
I love football and this doesn't bother me at all. Why so defensive?

60 minute games, but only 11 minutes those involve actually playing the game.

A quarter is 15 mins though. Whats actual playing time? When the ball is alive? So you saying when a qb is at the line of scrimmage making adjustments that is not playing time?

 

[FO-totality]

Professional eating should be an olympic sport...the food determined by what's popular in the host city.

I support this.

Can't wait for a Glascow Olympic and watch the competitors die on haggis.

I'm not saying anything and I'm not high but wish I was.
They just counted when the ball is alive, which is probably not the most fair way of measuring things. But still, it's interesting.

 

[woolley]

In American football the things that happen between plays is just as important as things that happen during plays. The timing that people come up with isn't accurate with how the game is actually played.

Thats not fair at all like I said, football is like chess. Would you say the only playing time of chess is when the players move their piece?

I would never watch a chess match.

 

[Delusibeta]

The thing that MMK and LQX doesn't understand is that the clock continues to tick down before play is restarted, hence where 75% of the time disappears.

But if you want to see (nearly) non-stop action, you would be watching rugby. Nobody hiding behind body armour either.

 

[JJDinomite]

It would be pretty fun to watch, to be honest. Football is easily America's most popular sport, and there are legitimately thousands of athletes who are worthy to compete at the olympics. I mean, you can imagine the NFL's best offensive line protecting Aaron Rodgers as he hands the ball to Adrian Peterson or throws a touchdown to Ochocinco (followed by a dance). It would be a blast.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I wouldnt either but Its not rocket science to know what happens during a chess match.

 

[EnderWiggles]

Would be borderline cheating..we are raised playing football. I cant even believe Im saying this but I dont think any other nation even have men with the physical capabilities that ours do to even play football. Nigerian football players??? Chinese football players?? Even sounds dumb.

Wtf, is this real life

 

[cutmeamango]

I really enjoy football, but it is a whole event of breaks and intermissions.
And wasting the timer is an artifice of the game.

Real football has a similar problem for different reasons.

90mins of run time. 50-60 of actual ball rolling.
The down time is basically players faking injury and slow reposition of side kicks, goal kicks, free kicks and throw-in.
Referees hardly enforce those rules, so it sucks, but is "part of the game".

Thankfully there are no intervals during the run time of a half.

And you dont understand that even if theres no action and the clock is ticking that theres as much of a game going on when the players are all full on speed running. Its a mental game, one audible at the line of scrimmage could make a huge play or a bust.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

It still boring, which is what the point is.

Lol at the hiding behind body armor crap. Have your average rugby player get hit by a defensive lineman with no pads. They would be dead.

How long is a match,One move? We don't call them matches, you must be high.
