Least favorite football stat

After weeping as I watched Henne have quite possibly his worst game ever in the Maize and Blue, this thought came to mind.
Balls Batted... ouch. ND D line did a great job of getting their hands up if they couldn't get to the QB. The amazing thing is, the one pick Henne threw was NOT hit at the line.
I dunno what it is, but I am starting to develop a serious mad-on for Notre Dame the last few years...

You gotta hand it to ND, their D played well and so did their offense until the second half. Even though I don't like them I was rooting for them because me and my roommate have been picking 5 games against the spread, loser buys a 12 pack. I picked ND+7... so far so good.

I hate the way You Americans have stolen the name football, football is played with a round ball and u have to keep the ball below the bar to score. And what u call Football is Rugby to us, u steal our sport then give a name of another one of our sports.

Oh, you mean soccer. The game sissy children play here in America because their mothers won't let them play football. Just kidding, I don't understand why we call it football either when the only people that touch the ball with their feet are the least repected players in the game. You can call it whatever you like but its the best sport on the planet.

I detect a tone of jealousy in your post.
God Bless America!

We're big fans of irony (primarily hold the ball using our hands, so we called it football).
Does anyone know how we came to name it 'Football'? It is kinda weird.
LOL, I found this, regarding the birth of Rugby, precursor to American Football:
In the Beginning
The story of football began sometime during the 19th century in England when a soccer player, frustrated at using only his feet to manipulate the ball, decided to simply pick it up and run with it. Although it was clearly against the rules of soccer, other players soon found the new way of playing soccer appealing and thus, the sport of rugby was born.

Soccer is a fucking hard sport to play if you are out of shape and have no endurance. Try running around with no subs for a long as time, you'll get the picture. I prefer to watch American football but it drives me insane enough to the point where i stop watching at half time for fear of a heart attack.

Vinnie Jones plays (ed) soccer and was considered as dirty a player out there... would fit right in on a NFL club if he didnt get into acting in bad-ass movies
Not afraid to crush a opponents nuts with his bare-hands this is obviously a guy who with one squish of the walnuts put some f-ing fear into the guys on the other team.

I'd be afraid of any guy who wants to put his hands anywhere near my nuts as well. Weird that a badass soccer player is badass because he likes to put his hands on other players' nuts.

Leave it to a soccer fan to define someone who likes to touch other men's nuts as "tough".
