Probably I'd pick either Peyton Manning or (as much as I hate him) Tom Brady for QB. (Seriously - not only is he a great QB, but he's married to Giselle Bunchen - screw you, TB!)

Jeff Saturday for Center, although some people think Nick Mangold is better.

Arian Foster and Maurice Jones Drew for running backs.

Wes Welker and Calvin Johnson for wide receivers.

If he wasn't hurt, I'd go with Dallas Clark for Tight End. As is, I'd pick Antionio Gates and Tony Gonzalez.

Yeah, I tend to pick a lot of people from the Colts, but they've been in the playoffs 9 years in a row. And I'm from Indiana - so ... maybe we're not going to suck for Luck, since they just won last night, but I suspect that Caldwell won't be head coach for much longer, either - that job will end up going to Peyton.

Realy amazing goals, but can you tell me where was he playing? What club?
I havent seen that player yet

He played his entire career at Southampton, he was offered big money to move but never did, he played for England a few times but he never tried to defend so it didn't last. He really was one of the laziest players ever but touched by football genius.

Well, since baseball is pretty much played the same all around the world, here's a comparison between baseball and football - along with some hints and tips about the game (courtesy of the late, great George Carlin:

Baseball is different from any other sport, very different. For instance, in most sports you score points or goals; in baseball you score runs. In most sports the ball, or object, is put in play by the offensive team; in baseball the defensive team puts the ball in play, and only the defense is allowed to touch the ball. In fact, in baseball if an offensive player touches the ball intentionally, he's out; sometimes unintentionally, he's out.

Also: in football,basketball, soccer, volleyball, and all sports played with a ball, you score with the ball and in baseball the ball prevents you from scoring.

In most sports the team is run by a coach; in baseball the team is run by a manager. And only in baseball does the manager or coach wear the same clothing the players do. If you'd ever seen John Madden in his Oakland Raiders uniform,you'd know the reason for this custom.

Now, I've mentioned football. Baseball & football are the two most popular spectator sports in this country. And as such, it seems they ought to be able to tell us something about ourselves and our values.

I enjoy comparing baseball and football:

Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game.
Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.

Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park.The baseball park!
Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium.

Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.

In football you wear a helmet.
In baseball you wear a cap.

Football is concerned with downs - what down is it?
Baseball is concerned with ups - who's up?

In football you receive a penalty.
In baseball you make an error.

In football the specialist comes in to kick.
In baseball the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.

Football has hitting, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting and unnecessary roughness.
Baseball has the sacrifice.

Football is played in any kind of weather: rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog...
In baseball, if it rains, we don't go out to play.

Baseball has the seventh inning stretch.
Football has the two minute warning.

Baseball has no time limit: we don't know when it's gonna end - might have extra innings.
Football is rigidly timed, and it will end even if we've got to go to sudden death.

In baseball, during the game, in the stands, there's kind of a picnic feeling; emotions may run high or low, but there's not too much unpleasantness.
In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you're capable of taking the life of a fellow human being.

And finally, the objectives of the two games are completely different:

In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home!
