Gridiron Knowledge Base
How do you feel when people say gridiron is a stupid and wimpy sport? When I hear people (mostly in football no offense) say that gridiron/american football is a wimpy, easy, or stupid sport I honestly feel offended. I hate that they haven't even played it, and yet it's "stupid"! When you hear people talk about gridiron like this, how do you feel?
What do Americans think of the rest of calling your game Gridiron? You guys call it Football, which is silly because you hardly ever kick it. We have always called it gridiron and I think English people say the same. And just to wind you all up, Rugby's the better game and we have a World Cup to prove it, you don't have one for Gridiron
Why a black line under the eyes of a gridiron player? I have always wondered why some of the gridiron players have a black line under each eye. I have also noticed that not all the players have this, so it makes me wonder if it a medical thing or just a fashion fad.
Does it bother Gridiron players that they can't play representative games? Players in other sports such as football, rugby, cricket, tennis and basketball get to play for their country on the world stage in the Olympics or world championships. Football's World Cup is the second biggest sporting event in the world after the Olympics. But Gridiron doesn't get to do this. Does it bother the Gridiron players at all?
When do you think NFL gridiron will replace football? It is almost inevitable since football is becoming so unimaginative and unwatchable. FIFA is corrupt and incompetent, run by a crew of self serving thieves. I predict that by 2025, everyone will be watching NFL gridiron and football will be dispensed into the dust bin of history. Thumbs up to those who agree.
Why do the French play rugby instead of gridiron, American football? Doesn't that prove that they're not real men? I hear that rugby is the second most popular sport in France, therefore, it must be a sissy sport. Why can't they be real men and put on some helmets, put on some shoulder pads and go out and play gridiron instead of some wimpy game with a bunch of boys wearing shorts and collared shirts and groping one another?

Football teams like Liverpool have Carlsberg and Real Madrid have Siemens Mobiles. Locally Rugby teams have Computer Associates, Ford and HSBC. But what about Gridiron teams? Do you think that a Raiders gridiron jumper would look silly with Toyota sprawled across the front?

Would British Footballers beat up American Gridiron Footballers in a fight? I have watched some American Gridiron, and most of the players are fat and lazy. They have to come out of the game after two short plays huffing and puffing! You call that sport? British REAL Footballers can run all day. They would give a severe beating to those Americans. They would put the Joe Calzaghe on them! Do you concur?

Why do gridiron players wear a full body tampon on the field? Grow up ladies. All over the world, even France, men AND women are brave enough to play contact sports without a foam force-field. Rugby Union, it's wimpy cousin Rugby League, Gaelic football, Australian Rules (AFL) & various regional games, they play free flowing, hard hitting football that doesn't stop for a rest every play. Some of these guys are huge, & fast, yet they have no problem running flat out toward imminent collision. Are they all fairies in the NFL?
Who are the nice guys that play Gridiron? It's a pity. In Australia, we have only heard of that Michael Vick idiot. I was disgusted at what he did, organising dog fights with his mates.

They'd have to be better people than that arseclown, Michael Vick.
Does anyone know the name of a specific true story Gridiron movie? The coach took them all to a remote camp and trained the life out of them, really worked them hard and some quit. The ones that made it through later thanked the coach for making them the men that they became. It has been on pay tv. Not Gridiron Gang it is more obscure than that I'm not sure if it was a big hit or not. I am pretty sure it didn't have any major stars in it. It was a very rough camp not a prison.
Who would you want to lead your team on the gridiron? The situation is its the 2 min warning you need a score to win the game, who would you have under center? Who ever comes the closest to my list gets 10 points. You can have up to three quarterbacks. Tom brady is good and so is Peyton Manning but they aren't on my list. I will give you a hint Joe Montana is number 1 on my list. Randall Cunningham had some nice games but he wasn't clutch.

Why are Gridiron players such over rated, fat slobs who can only go for 5 seconds before taking a rest ? Seriously the entire world look down upon American Footballers as fat useless slobs (apart from Quarter backs and Wide Receivers) who can only play for 5 seconds at a time, need all the padding on earth and would be fit or tough enough to play without padding and would be anihalated against a Rugby Union or Rugby League team, playing mixed rules ! Brent r - 24 fan; you guys are the idiots starting all the wars, than the English and Aussies come to your aid after you fail at a foreign ocupation again !
Is the Beer at Gridiron games really lame? Is it like mass produced rubbish, low quality and too expensive. I'm wondering if that happens, as it does at Football, Rugby and I assume Cricket stadiums? It would be easier if you could take your own and nicer beer into games. Any clues, anyone?

I am 19, roughly 6'2 and about 85kg, not amazingly fast(.... i run about a 12.5-13 in the 100m) with long arms and big hands and a decent jump from playing basketball and volleyball for a few years.

do the gridiron and hoops stars in the NCAA hang with eachother? For example, are Troy Smith, Heisman trophy winner for Ohio State, and Greg Oden, hoops star for Ohio State, friends?

Do the Florida guys on the National Championship hoops team of last year hang around the Florida guys on the national champion football team? Would you think that they are all good friends, in the name of team spirit?
Who is Ryon Williams from the Nike Gridiron commercials? I heard he was a fomer Florida State football player and I also head that he plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But to me he looks like a high school kid. I know that college athletes can't have endorsements, so I know that he can't be a current college football player. He is also not on any NFL roster.
