And if anyone does want to join us, I'm wearing a totally random Julius Peppers road jersey (after hours of deliberation)

HG;
You're getting a bit sensitive there.
More I was aiming at a ridiculous argument by countering with ridiculous one.
I wasn't sure how many times I could write: "If you want to watch rugby, watch rugby"

I can't think of another sport where players normally only play offense or defense, not both.
Netball.
or football (aka soccer), unless you think it's a good idea for Christiano Ronaldo to play in goal

You deserve an invitation though.
Ha! yeah I should by now :)
This just in security at Raymond James Stadium being run through supercool Microsoft Surface:
It's seriously slick -- maps are integrated with planning and voice communications software so the field commanders can immediately assess incident responses and personnel deployments, with the ability to initiate radio contact directly from the interface.
there's a video at that link too in which they use the term "counter-snipers"

Sigh, it's obviously a boring day for Hadyn: some of the Superbowl ads are already up

Guards and Tackles often play both sides of the ball?
Not "often", "sometimes" and they are usually injury replacements.
Linebackers occasionally swap sides too, but if they do it's mostly a play designed specifically to use their skill set somehow (i.e. "hit that guy hard")

In my limited experience of the game, it wouldn't lose very much if you had 15 - 20 starters to cover all the specialist positions, and then a reserve bench, but once you replace a player they can't come back in (like rugby).
But then you'd be watching rugby.
It's kind of like saying badminton would be better if the court was bigger and they used a ball, like tennis. Or that baseball would be better if it was more like cricket etc
If you have players on both sides they lose their specialisation. Blockers are pushing people out of the way in very precise ways. Rushers are trying not to get pushed. They may all look like big fat guys but they are all built differently (blockers need to be less mobile than rushers) and wear different gear.

Something i forgot to mention is that the American Embassy always has a shindig for the big game. I don't know if it's open to the public though.

a set of Houston Texans tumblers
I imagine that Texans fans do an awful lot of drinking. Then again, you should've seen me this year when the Jets beat the Pats in overtime.

I can't imbed these vids but, Like Naly, I enjoy it when the players are mic'd up, but the coaches are funnier.
