Aussie Rules Football

I have no idea how to play Aussie Rules football. I know it's somewhere between rugby and soccer, but I'm not all that well-versed in those sports either, so that really doesn't help me much.

The one thing I learned from this commercial is that these guys are ridiculous, and our weak little sports just aren't enough to satiate these animals' appetite for violence.

Part of me wishes that I could have been from Australia, so I could enjoy the wonder of Aussie Rules. But part of me is just thankful that I'll never have to run into one of these guys on the street. Thank goodness.

0	Yes that was true, since they just played the feed from the ABC. ESPN did not do a stellar job trying to help the viewing public out with the nuances of the game. I had to get one of those "Rules of the Game" books to understand it better.

So hey we aren't really all that different from you guys you know.
