I just compiled two kernels, 2.4.16 straight and 2.4.16 preemptible. I am using the latter right now because it increases KDE and other userland app performance by at least 50%. If you feel like your desktop is moving sluggishly, try out this patch.
I actually play football (high school) and althought there is no contact that would end up in blood, like rugby, these "five-foot thick" shoulderpads extend the physical possibilities of the game.
In rugby, you get punched and get forced to eat dirt, and break your nose.
In football, you'll just get knocked so hard you'll either get the wind knocked out of you, or a 300-pound guy will fall on your ankle, or you get a concussion. Its like wearing boxing gloves: without them it hurts to punch someone, but with them you are able to give a deadly blow with no pain at all.

Two fine sports, hardcore in their own ways.
