    There are normally two or three players sprinting during any game.
    90 minutes play
    The average per player is seven miles. Although some players in the UK normally do 20 to 12 miles per game

    Now we have American football where the average playing time per player is 11 minutes. The most any player runs is slightly over one mile.

    Be honest American football was made for fat useless kids who can't play real sport and need a suit of armour to feel safe

    During a play in football only the quarteback is not exerting full speed.

    Do you care to try the endurance test based on intervals of high energy output?

    If you take up the challenge, you need someone to keep time.

    Remember, each time you run it must be with maximum efgort the entire time. No taking sprints off. No jogging, no walking, no simply running, it must be at sprint speed.

    I doubt you won't try it. You won't put up, just talk trash. A wee little man.

    That makes no sense.
    Whats my sprinting ability got to do with football players being faster fitter and run more during a game than the soft padded American football players.
    Why is my height important?
    USA padded football is for fat kids everyone knows it.

    Not ability, just energy expenditure.

    Sprint as fast as you can, if it takes 30 seconds to cover 100 meters so be it.

Americans seem to enjoy sports where very little happens over an overextended period.
    You mean like soccer? Where after kicking a ball for 90 minutes, the score is 1-0?

    The draw of football is it's chess-like nature. There's a play every position where the opposition tries to out-think, trick and surprise the other.

    Then do the experiment.

    Run 20 11.2 second 100 meter sprints in 20 minutes. You will be resting for much of that 20 minutes.

    No loafing while sprinting, only between sprints.

    Like chess?
    I take it you do stand up comedy

    There is plenty points scored because the game is easy. Just have to throw the ball forward for someone to catch it.

    Why even call it a touch down when the ball is not touched down ?

    Question first can I do the 100m back then forward or do I have to keep going. I could end up 2000m from my house

    I know that I pitched out of this, but I have to ask

    What do you think asking Roma to repeat this training drill is achieving?

    He could, for all you know, be a 65 year old, 300 lb gentleman. ( sorry, Roma!)

    Its like me saying WWE wrestling is fixed (really??!!!), and you saying, OK, take on The Undertaker.
