If the British were able to actually think critically, though I understand that watching 5 days straight of cricket -- with all the required breaks for tea, meals, laundry, sleep, and do-anything-besides-watch-cricket results in an average of a loss of 1 million brain cells per match, they'd realize that the NFL is actually more dangerous because of the pads and rules, not less. Which is probably why rugby's one star to attempt the crossover washed out. Unless 300+ pound lineman launching themselves helmet-first and some players being considered worn-down at the incredibly old age of 28 is something that happens in rugby, which as far as I can tell is playable in your underwear.

As my people say, QED.

(though I do love the pic of Cutler getting surprise butt-sexed).
