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.

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.

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.

I hear that rugby is the second most popular sport in France, therefore, it must be a sissy sport.

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 would put the Joe Calzaghe on them! Do you concur?

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.

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.

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.

How come when the ball hits the deck in Gridiron, it's not play on? When they throw the ball down the field and the guy spills the ball, how come the opposition, or his team mates, can't pick up the ball and play on. They seem to stop and talk about it for two minutes and do it again. Wouldn't it be better if it was play on?
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.
