Re: Off-Topic(Anything non-Knicks related) Respectful Of Course!!
I just watched Giants-Cowboys game on TV. I don't really understand the rules (I know what touchdown is and that's about all ) but the game was pretty entertaining. Probably the best American football game I've ever watched.
Pretty nice ending,Cowboys were inches away from the victory.
Still nowhere nearly as fun as basketball but probably the only American football game that was really exciting for me and I had fun watching it.

Read up on the history of Alex Smith and then watch last years play-off game between the 49ers and Saints. It will help change your mind.

Almost no one watches American football. Like 80% of the people never watched a game of American football and less than 1% follows it and knows the rules.

No rugby in Croatia?
I didn't google these stats but I can tell you from experience. There's a very few people that follow American football here in Croatia.
Yes,there's rugby but it's not very popular. You can't find a rugby match on TV and there's not many people at stadiums either.
Soccer is by far the most popular sport in Croatia. I would say basketball is 2nd but Croatia has very strong national teams in handball and water polo (top3 in the world in both sports) so they are somewhat popular. The only other sports that people watch are tennis and skiing.

Just know if your not black or spanish, you are gonna take your lumps for a while before you get good lol j/k But this is what it looks like. Basically, you are hitting a blue handball against a tall concrete wall.
The handball wall is also the canvas for some of the best graffitti in the world!

Is there any other traditional NYC games ? When I come to NYC I must try them all out
Its kinda like racquecball or jai alai I guess. My aunt used to be really good. My dad played a bit too. Its amazing for your hand eye coordination. I used to dribble handballs to work on my handle for basketball. A handball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball.
Btw, I should have mentioned, the piece on the wall is the late great Keith Haring.
