American football has its origin in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football.
 
 They simply kept the name, despite changing a majority of the rules.

awesome... this dude is either clueless or he's desperate for cash and is happy to embarrass himself for a little coin.
 
 Federline signed to do Super Bowl ad
 
 COLUMBUS, Ohio - Britney Spears no longer wants him as her husband and audiences have been cool to his attempt at a rap music career, but Kevin Federline has Nationwide on his side.
 
 Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., known for its "On Your Side" slogan, plans to run a national ad during the Super Bowl, and K-Fed has been tapped to star, the Columbus-based company announced Wednesday.
 
 The 30-second spot, to air during the third quarter of the Feb. 4 game, will be the latest installment in Nationwide's "Life Comes at You Fast" ad campaign. Previous celebrity ads in the series have featured Fabio and M.C. Hammer.
 
 In the new commercial, Federline, 28, goes from starring in a rap video surrounded by beauties and bling to working at a fast-food joint.
 
 "No one has personified `Life Comes at You Fast' in the media better than Federline," said Steven Schreibman, Nationwide vice president of advertising and brand management. "Our partnership with Kevin shows the world that he has a great sense of humor."
 
 Spears, 25, filed for divorce from Federline in November after two years of marriage. The couple agreed to share custody of their sons, 3-month-old Jayden James and 1-year-old Sean Preston, for this month, but after that, Federline will be allowed visits three afternoons per week.
 
 His debut rap album, "Playing With Fire," sold a dismal 6,500 copies in its first week of release last fall.

I've come to the realization that the real reason the Ravens lost is because I made Steve McNair my desktop background.  I'm such a faggot.

So I'm not much of a football fan, but I gotta think that you Baltimore folks must at least be a little bit excited that the Colts are in the Super Bowl. Right?

To all the Bears and Colts fans - good luck this weekend and enjoy your Super Bowl.  To the rest of you, don't beat your significant other.
 
 I took the points - first time I've bet on Rex Grossman all season....but 7 is a lot for the best defense in the Super Bowl to be getting.  Had to do it.

did the same thing....i think the 7 is a ridiculous margin for this matchup, and I actually think the bears will win straight up

thanks rob for thinking of me.  but i am not a ravens fan.  i pull for Green Bay if i have to root for someone. other than that, the NFL isnt really my bag.
 
  that said, i do hope the bears pull the upset.
 
 (and i DID call bears/colts in the big game a while back!!!)

All this support for the Bears is crazy talk.     :D    
 
 No way Grossman is ready for primetime. It's gonna take a monumental F###-up (multiple turnovers/special teams tds) for Indy not to be hoisting the trophy.
 
 Plus it's sure gonna be great to watch Baltimore squirm after the Colts add another chapter to their storied past. [a Pittsburgh Steelers fan's opinion]

 Yeah, the Bears aren't good at these things AT ALL....
 
 Today, Colts just stands for one thing:
 
 Count
 On
 Losing
 The
 Super Bowl
