    Check the community, Chuckles!

    Besides, I’m a Bears fan, so I’ve seen plenty of footage of Dick Butkus’ hits.

    You know, years ago I saw a bit on a UK NFL show where they had a couple of rugby players and a couple of NFL players try each others’ sports.

    The NFL players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. They’re big guys and they hit hard, and they don’t wear any padding. No thanks!”

    The rugby players came out of the experience saying “Hell, that game is brutal. You’ve got the pads, sure, but that just means everyone hits each other harder! No thanks!”

      Perfect summation, only people saying one is tougher than the other do so from the other side of the TV screen.

        Yeah I was just returning the energy of the first armchair expert, honestly. Rugby is hardass, too.
