  Not exactly true cappytan.  In football there are five different ways to score and each has its own point value:

  the touchdown, the most desirable where the ball is advanced into the endzone dduring regluar play  6 points

  then there is a "point after attempt" following a touch down.  If the ball is kicked and the kick goes through the goal posts, 1 point is awarded.  If the ball is advanced into the end zone via any other means (a run or a legal pass ), 2 points are awarded

  A field goal is when is a kick attempt made when a team has regular possesion of the ball (meaning not a point after attempt) and if made 3 poimts are awarded.

  lastly a play called a "saftey" is worth 2 points.  A safety is basically when the team on def downs the ball in the offensensess end zone. 

  So not quiet so cut and dry as "21-24" ;)

  Lol coffy, im just giving my soccer loving friends a hard way to go.  Intellectually i understand the draw of soccer and i have enjoyed watching a few matches (when the usa plays in the world cup) but i havent found it interesting enough to hold me long term. I think simon said it well when he said "those who have grown up watching soccer"... Its what we as individuals are accostomed to.  American baseball was the worlds dullest sport to me until i learned the ins and outs and i susspect i would feel the same about soccer.

    As i say, im  just fanning the flames in a good natured way ;)

  As an aside, its hard to take cries of "oh football is boaring compared to soccer " when an "exciting" soccer game ends in a score of 3-2

  Please vaccinate your children

  by Viviane in

  and remember your boosters as adults!.

  currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.

  vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.

  Scientology commercial during superbowl

  by _Morpheus in

  1. social
  2. current

  as preface for those outside the usa, the superbowl is a big deal here in the states.

  commercial spots are extremly expensive and the air time is coveted by advertisers.

  in fact the commercials are a huge draw for non sports fans to watch the game because companies get so creative.. with that as the back drop, the church of scientology ponied up the dough for a superbowl commercial!

  with that as the back drop, the church of scientology ponied up the dough for a superbowl commercial!  I was blown away.  A religious advertisement during the superbowl.  What are the odds that people will be drawn to a religion because of that commercial?  Would the borg ever get that point? Would it help them? Im not really sure how to quantify my feelings about that spot, but its not a good feeling to see a cult advertise in such big way
