What is American Football?A shit game that wastes 4 hours worth of time, and brain cells galore. Played by fat rednecks who have the brain capacity of an amoeba. Nobody outside a limited number of people from the US actually care about it, and the occasional Canadian. Not worth five cents, but vastly overvalued. Hey, it's Football! American Football - videoAmerican Football - what is it?A fictional sport from the "Friday Night Lights" universe. Originally a book by H.G. Bissinger, it was also adapted into a movie and TV series. The sport itself is mostly nonsense, but an american organization, the NFL, saw fit to to interpret it for use in the real world. It is believed that the acronym NFL was created by scrambling the letters of FNL. Unlike FNL, the NFL is unscripted. This has been received negatively by critics who came to love the characterizations and plot lines in FNL. Most people are patiently awaiting the day that the NFL is cancelled and FNL is renewed. American Football was better in the book. What does "American Football" mean?One of the dumbest and most dangerous sports created, most popular in America and Canada. Players generally weigh about 300-400 pounds and slam into each other for 3 hours. I am disappointed in my fellow Americans who actually like this garbage. The New England Patriots won the American football championship. American Football - what does it mean?A game where a 300+ lb guy (no not all of them) can run a 4.4 40 hit and kill anybody stupid enough not to wear pads. And to the aussies calling american football players and fans fat and such. I'd like to congratulae your nation on surpassing the USofA in fatassedness. You are now #1 at something. American Football - meaningA sport played in the U.S. by huge, ripped dudes (and a few extremely fat ones), which apparently makes Europeans want to murder even more than a well-played soccer match does. Fan 1: Hey! Did you have a good time at the American Football game? American Football - definitionLet me tell you something: pads ain't going to help you when you have a 250 lb guy taking a helmet-shoulder shot at your knee. If anything the helmet/shoulder pads are more of a weapon. Players hit harder when they wear pads. American Football is rough, Rugby is rough. They're different - get over it. American Football - slangAmerican Football originates from the English sport of Rugby. It is played between two teams on a field of 100 yards (120 total including the end zones) with a brown oval shaped object called a Football. A teamβs objective is to get itβs offense on the field as often as possible (to score) and keep the opponentβs offense off the field when possible, and limit their performance when they are on. Teamβs score by driving the ball down the field by running and passing. The most common form of scoring is the touchdown (six points), followed by field goals (3), and (rarely) safeties (2). Immediately following the scoring of a touchdown the scoring team is given the option of performing a two-point conversion (worth 2 points) or the point-after-touchdown (PAT, 1 point). Field goals and PATs are scored by kicking the Football between a tall goal post located behind the end zone. Professional and collegiate games last full 60-minutes while high school games normally run at 48. Itβs important to note that due to timeouts and play huddling Football games normally last between 3 and 4 hours. Each season the National Football League organizes the most popular American Football teams for five months of hard-hitting action. American FootballAmerican football and rugby are both physically demanding sports... I've played both... The styles of play are much different though... Rugby is about pure tackling and ball movement as opposed to football which is about impact in addition to tackling skill and quick linear movement down field. The speed and impact in American football is the reason for the pads (without them, the amount of spinal cord and brain injuries would be horriffic)... With regard to the breaks between plays in football, there's a purpose other than giving the big guys on the lines a break (and by big, I mean 300+ pounds...). American football is a game of set plays and tends to get very complex with all the terminology and the amount of plays you have to memorize (most coaches script anywhere from 150 to 250 possible plays per game). Granted, rugby is more fast paced and the plays are more oriented to the flow of the game which makes it pretty exciting to watch and challenging to play. As far as I'm concerned, they're both great sports with their own challenges. Would like to get your ear ripped off in a scrum or have Roy Williams crush you coming over the middle playing American football?!? American FootballAn excellent indie rock/emo band from the 1990s, fronted by Mike Kinsella (of Owen). Stephen: "My favorite emo band? Definitely I Hate Myself."
