    I know there are a lot of people from the UK on this site, but I figured some people would be angered at that. So many die-hard "football" fans here, it's disgusting. The sport is so terrible to watch.

    My Son played it in H.S. and I always feared for him. But he evolved beyond that. ;)

    Speaking of which, I can't stand the word soccer in reference to what is, REAL football.

    Here's two:

    a)Can't understand why on earth people still smoke. You pay to smell bad, you pay to get cancer. You must be an idiot to smoke.

    b)Can't understand why on earth people need coffee. Every coffee drinker is a liar. All the coffe drinker I know insist they drink 1 or 2 coffee a day, when every hour or so I watch them get another one.

    Thank you for being an American that calls it by it's proper name =D> I can't stand it when people call football soccer and then call American football football.

    It's funny that as I read this I'm sipping on a coffee. :))

    Especially as Amrican Football sees their players touching the "ball" with their hands the whole bloody time.

    I know nothing about American football but to me it just looks like rugby for wimps.

    Exactly, the name makes no sense at all.

    It's relaxing. I gave it up a few years ago though after someone I knew died of lung cancer.

    I only really drink coffee at work. Not sure why, just never drink it at home.

    Agreed here. And yes, about coffee, I always thought it tasted like it smelled like it looked.

    Except, for some reason, in Italy. I like Italian coffee.

    I hate both; I don't discriminate!

    I'll never get how American football got the name, when "soccer" in the UK and whatnot is a game played with feet, legs, knees, etc. Makes no sense how they worked that one out, and I would watch real football (or any sport) over American football any day of the work. Hockey is my favorite sport.

    I like it when a game breaks out in between fights... :D

    Isn't it nice? Watching an ice-boxing match and you get a little game in between, haha.

    The fights are great, but they should only be for two opposing pissed off players or for a losing team to boost morale and whatnot. My favorite team (Pittsburgh Penguins) had a guy get a concussion about a month ago when a whistle was blown and someone skated up behind him, threw him to the ground, and punched him in the face twice. He was defenseless, it wasn't a mutual fight, such a dirty, dirty play.

    A seemingly controversial opinion: I like Ryan Reynolds as an actor. I think he has great comedic timing, especially in non-comedic films like Blade: Trinity. I even dig him in Just Friends and stuff like that. And even when he doesn't have to do comedy, like in Safe House and Buried, I'm still enjoying myself.

    Oh, I like Ryan Reynolds a good deal. He does have good timing and a winning way with comedy. I enjoyed The Proposal very much.

    I liked him in Green Lantern.

    I've yet to see 'Green Lantern,' but from the work I've seen of Reynolds, I like him. I think he's great in comedies and he really held his own in 'Safe House.' Having said that, I'd appreciate seeing him in films that don't look terrible, like 'R.I.P.D.' I can't bring myself to watch that at all.

    Me too, I liked him better as GL than Henry Cavill as Superman.
    I'm really looking forward the showdown between Sinestro and GL in the sequel.

    liked him since I saw him in 2 guys, a girl and a pizzaplace.

    so far not a very controversial opinion it seems

    Here's one, maybe people will disagree because it obviously won for some reason and I've never seen it, but: 'Saving Private Ryan' ABSOLUTELY should've won the Best Picture Oscar over 'Shakespeare in Love.' I don't even need to see the latter to say that confidently.

    I like both Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in love, so whoever won was fine by me.

    Elizabeth should have won and Cate Blanchett should have won best actress. Oh and L.A. Confidential should have won instead of Titanic.
