Yet another reason why I'll never watch the summer olympics again.

Why not? Playing flag football is a great way to meet girls.

Boy that never worked for me in college with 11 man fraternity league football. All I ever got was wicked scrapes from crappy "fields" we could play on and pounded by guys with 50 LBS on me.

This ought to go well.

NFL owners remind me of Mona Lisa Saperstein.

Personally I would say breaking is irrelevant but there’s a scene in places. In larger cities usually there’s interest. It should have never been in the Olympics. They may as well add Salsa, Doo Wop, Rave, and other dancing styles…the running man included…

That team is going to be loaded with Jets, they have been playing touch football for over 60 years.

We've Got Our First 'Tom Brady is Unretiring' Rumor in Years. Except This One Makes Absolute Sense.

It's hard to believe this little melodrama, a goodbye scene so packed with emotions Brady might as well have touched my heart, said "I'll be right here" and left a rainbow behind, was roughly 2 1/2 ye...

Prediction: It will be fun. Old men yelling at cloud will be proven wrong.

It won't be fun for fans, of any age and of any team, if they lose a player. I also don't get why the owners would like it.

 

[1960Pats]

I was pretty damn good at Whiffle ball...
I guess I could have become a Contendah.

No way you could even touch my slider/changeup/curve.
We're talking about the ball with the holes on one side right?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Yes.
I was pretty good at 1/2 ball as well.

 

[1960Pats]

My problem with watching flag football is that I can't tell how the play ends most of the time. Some guy with quick hands grabs the flag as a player goes by, a moment later a whistle blows and I still don't know what happened.

I really enjoyed playing though.

Don’t watch. It’s the Olympics. It happened with bball and hockey. This isn’t even contact. They are grown ass men and don’t have to play but should have that freedom.

I probably won't watch. It's basically tag football.
What happened with bball and hockey?

 

[farn]

(1) no other olympics will add this to their schedule

(2) no Patriots are close to being considered for that event

(3) we can pray that by then, maybe we’ll have a worthy candidate or two, but…

I won't watch this nonsense, you can bet on that.

Bah

 

[neuronet]

I won't watch this nonsense, you can bet on that.

Bah

I am undecided on whether it will be fun or not to watch. I’ll give it a go.

But the idea that cba should bar players from Olympics when nba and nhl does not? Nah.

 

[Rob0729]

You aren't going to see any significant NFL players competing. It does allow practice squad guys and people deep on the 53 man roster an opportunity to compete in the Olympics. Those are the only NFL players who will even consider this.

You won't see Patrick Mahomes in the Olympics, but you might see Bailey Zappe.

 

[Patriot Missile]

No offense to the Goat but if I’m starting a flag football team, I’m going with a mobile af qb like Vick. Not that I’m doubting Tom Brady or anything.
