Not to nitpick, but I think he was saying he was going to get himself some on the way home.
Not nuggets for everyone.
Lol.
On a personal note, I don't dig things passed off as meat when it's half bones and veins that's been mashed up, but Lawdy, do they taste good!

I love mashed up veins, anus, bones, testes, and intestine. I think that’s today’s hotdog. So yeah. All good!

I am glad that you said here in the US because in my opinion the ultimate team sport is soccer. There are no time outs so it is up to the players to make adjustments. You are only allowed 3 subs so if you use them and some one gets hurt afterwards, you play down a man. Someone did a study and in a 90 minute match a player touches the ball a total of 2 1/2 minutes so the other times he is making runs for his teammates and will not see the ball so they can have an opportunity to score and get the glory.

Spot on! It is a true team sport and it requires creativity and communication with each other. Here's John Cleese to explain it (and he does have a go at American Football, but it's Cleese, so you know it's funny)

That sport is just crazy. You definitely not wussy if you play. I don't understand the rules that much but playing with no padding; you definitely need to be one tough SOB.

It really is fun to watch. I also like a bit of Aussie Rules. You're completely mental if you play it, but they produce stupendous punters and probably defencive players with how they smash each other.

Great points. Never thought about it that way. That inspires me to become more knowledgeable about the sport of soccer. I love the team concept in sports because it's such a microcosm of day to day life and interacting with people. There are lots of lessons in it that are life long. :)

It really is fun to watch. The Barclays Premier League (aka, the English Premier League) is frequently on NBC and NBCSN in America. It's a good way to really catch onto the action while watching one of the elite football leagues in the world. My club is in my signature, but there are plenty for the taking if you don't have one. Do give it a whirl, dear boy, if you haven't. I think you'll jolly well enjoy it.

Football is the ultimate team sport, at least here in the USA. I really hope that doesn't happen. There's already enough narcissism in the NBA.

NFL players should be far more selfish since they play the deadliest sport in the world.

The only sport that I think is more mental to play is this sport from Ireland. I think it is called Irish hurling. It looks like lacrosse but no helmets or padding. It looks like like field hockey stick with a net on the end so a small ball can be thrown or catch in it. I don’t know what the rules were but I didn’t think there was any since this guy was hitting this other guy in the head with his stick and blood was rushing out his head. He just kept running down the field with the ball trying to score and the ref was allowing his opponent to keep on doing this.

Fox 1 and Fox 2 also has the Bundesleague which is German top league. They have Bayern Munich which is one of the best club team in the world but you are right the Premier league is the best and now the American Pulsic is playing for Chelsea which should garner more interest here in America
