    It's an interesting point, and they seem about as hard to get as each other.

    Maybe it's a rule of thumb that can give some way of considering an offensive player's worth versus a defensive player's, but there are so many variables involved (a sack may be because a better player flushed the QB right into your arms, a TD might be because a defender tripped and missed an easy tackle) that it can't be much more than that.

    NFL people do seem to go nuts for someone who can get double-digit sacks or double-digit TDs.

    The point others have made that a sack isn't worth six points is only partly relevant - the real point is that it seems like a sack is just as hard to get as a TD.

    An extra point equates to a successful delivery of Gatorade from the drinks guy on the sidelines. It's taken for granted, but we've all seen spills every now and then.

    I think he knows a sack isnt the same same as a touchdown retards. What he's saying is the achievment is similiar. The achievement of 10 TD's in a season is the same as recording 10 sacks ACHIEVEMENT wise. Obviously its not the same thing fucknuts.

    I would say a TD is more akin to an interception than a sack. The reason being, the air is thin in here.

    I think a snake + chihuahua = a Nugent rushing touchdown.

    Based on the logic within this thread, I'd say I'm a real Aristotelian here.

    Ha no you're the silly one, why run it with Nuge when we can just throw a fade to Ben Graham our new receiver!
