The MLB World Series was a competition first funded and promoted by a newspaper called the New York World. They named the competition after themselves, as in The World Series. Had it been the Telegraph, the name would have been The Telegraph Series. Now you know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "New York World" story is one of several circulating about where the series actually got its name. Bard AI says this: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None and hell no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulder pads and helmets are used to hit people, not protect them. And the most grotesquely overweight NFL lineman can probably outrun just about every soccer player, most of whom seem to laze about the field in a trot half the time. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Packer I believe was the man behind the introduction of the reinvented rules of cricket . Correct in that Kerry Packer came up with limited overs ODI, which has further evolved into T20 etc. The rules of cricket were not reinvented, only the format. It rejuvenated a game which had become stodgy and defensive. How many people remember Trevor Bailey, Geoff Boycott and Bill Lawry? The latter batsman was called "a corpse with pads on".

Half the time NFL players are not even on the field. Check out an Australian Rules midfielder. They will cover 16 - 20 km in a game. One of your linemen would have busted a gut at that work rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched Australian football and they look like they're moonwalking. Truth is, put them on an NFL field and it would only take one or two plays for them to need to exit the field in a stretcher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you paid less than $300 a week Now you claim to be buying houses on the pension. You also said you lost most of your money in Thailand. You also said you couldnt afford the 400,000 baht for visa. Make up your mind what story you want to run with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
