Why do you think they have pads and helmets?
Panda, always loved the NFL hardest hits vid.
Rugbeh and ice hockey are so much more badass than American Football.
If it is not in the dictionary it doesn't count.
Ice hockey has pads too :wacko:
no because the hits are hard as hell. I dislocated my shoulder and constantly had bruises running up and down my arm (I was a noseguard so meh legs were fine) in football, never even got bruised in rugby.
Because it's not a constant game like rugby, you can put more energy into every hit.
If you are good as that guy your awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT00hIXjLs
I was playing rugby this one time and tackled this one guy, he was twice my size. He proper kicked me in the face, hurt like hell.
