I joined, but can't come up with a team name... Mabye vikings, but that's boring! Alright, I got it...
Now we have six teams.

You know this football debate translates well for the Aussies and Kiwi's amongst us, (I'm a pom living in NZ) and they call rugby, football too, but I must admit that in rugby they at least kick the ball with their FEET more than in American football (should be called carryball or something).

Lets call it football when you use your feet more than your hands. Of course if your name is Maradona you use your hands more than your feet – or maybe his nose.

eric

BTW fantasy football is OK too.

well, my favorite NFL team - the San Diego Chargers, has an all-pro punter named Darrien BennetT who is an ex "Australian rules football" player. He is consistently one of the longest kickers in the NFL. but i'll still agree, it should have been named better in this country as feet touching the ball has little to do with the game. but like you said, that doesn't negate the fact that fantasy football can be fun. i'm still waiting for some non-americans to join our league. last year a couple of them did quite well - advancing to the playoffs.

I've never heard of any respectable Aussie who's ever call rugby football. It's footy for Aussie Rules (which I wish I could see more of, fun game), rugby for rugby, soccer for soccer and gridiron for American football.
