pic Most Takeaways

[JoeC]

I've just got into American Football, and I've been watching over the last few games of the season. No wonder the players are all so fat, if they track stats like this :rofl:

[firey]

hmm, maybe the humor is lost in the different use of words. I am guessing "Takeaways" is like fast food? Also assuming you are saying players are fat because of the amount of Fast Food (Takeaway) they have?

:D

[Astra.Xtreme]

Yeah, they are definitely fat...

[JoeC]

Yeah, they are definitely fat...

Fixed :p

And for everyone who's like "I don't see the funny", I guess it's an English/American thing (I'm surprised, though). A takeaway is like, fast food. Pizza, Chinese, fish and chips, etc.

[Glassed Silver]

Good one! (Y)

Ugh... Thank God I read the joke first, you would have ruined it! :D

Takeaway is essentially fast food "to go".

So you order and take it right with you.

Failthread.

A lot of the players aren't even fat to begin with.

And... BJ Raji is because his job is basically to be a brick wall that blocks the opposing team.

He is very good at his job. (Y)

Most jokes fail when you have to explain them :p

Takeaway = Take out food.

Hardly a fail just because you didn't get it.

So.... Some are....?

[djdanster]

Hahaha! :D

You may call them "Fat"

However most of them do more activities than most people....

Admit it....

How often do you run and tackle people? Plus train on the field or weight lift?

And a "Take Away" is usually referred to the amount of turnovers due to a fumble (and in the case you posted above that meant Green Bay took the ball away from the other teams 38 times during a season) and can also refer to a call being reversed (rarely is called a take away) Though I have seen it being called for example-- after a touchdown is given but then is taken back due to penalty...

Has nothing to do with food or being fat....

Oh and FYI

When a linebacker breaks through a defensive line it is OK to call it a drive-thu
