A champion team. Players alone are useless. It`s only when they play as a team that football and victories happen

It's going to take more than a few explanations here and watching one game to do it.\n\nEssentially, a team has 4 "downs" (tries) to advance the ball at least ten yards. If they're successful, they get 4 new downs to try to gain 10 more yards - if they don't think they'll get the 10 yards, they "punt" (kick) the ball to the other team. It's akin to claiming the territory behind them, while the other team defends the remaining territory behind them. The "line of scrimmage" is the point the offense last reached and is somewhat like the "border" between these territories. If a team advances the ball into the "end zone," that's called a "touchdown" and they get 6 points. And then there are the "point-after-touchdown" (PAT) plays, either a kick for 1 point, or a 2-point conversion that is tougher to convert. If the offense doesn't feel they can score the touchdown (TD), they attempt a field goal (for 3 points) by kicking the football through the goalposts.\n\nBasically, the object is to outscore the opponents.

I personally say no, as I find most of them to be funny and entertaining, but Walter Payton and Barry Sanders just handed the ball to the ref after they scored.  That is class!\nDon't forget, NFL stands for the No Fun League.  The NFL has been implementing rules to limit player expression for years.  They outlawed skull caps a couple of years ago as well as bandanas.  Every player has to have their socks pulled up a certain height and players aren't allowed to celebrate former players on the field.\nWhen Johnny Unitas passed away, the following week, Peyton Manning wanted to wear the high top shoes like Johnny U always wore.  This wouldnt give Manning any sort of advantage, but the NFL said no because it didnt fit into the dress code.\nJake Plummer wanted to wear a patch on his jersey and helmet for an entire season for fallen friend and former teammate in college (ASU) and pro (AZ Cardinals) Pat Tillman.  The NFL said no because they want to constantly promote the NFL over any individual player.\nEver see a current coach get dressed up and wear a suit on the sideline?  Not anymore.  20-30 years ago, coaches were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, but now the coaches have to wear something with their teams emblem on it.\n\nThese rulings are the most depressing thing about the NFL.

While there are strategies on and off the field to learn, this is a people business.  Knowing how to communicate to people to motivate them to achieve their best is what you want to focus on.\nDo your homework by finding out where the current and recent past coaches came from.  Find the name of every coach for every team in the NFL over the last 10 years.  Find out what their backgrounds were.  Did they start as players?  Coach college first?  Find the coach(es) that you want to embrace as role models, not for their winning record, but for their ability to get the job.  A background you can relate to and emulate.  Start with coaching right now.  City league football or YMCA or HS asst. coach.  Try private schools since they're not a govt. agency they may be easier to get started with.  There's nothing like doing it to learn to do it.  You have to be able to asst. coach HS before you can asst coach college ball.  You have to understudy a good college head coach before you can be a College Head Coach.  If you can't with a college team, you won't be going to the NFL.  You have to prove yourself so you might as well get started.  Degrees and resume qualifications won't get you the job.\n\nThis is a relationship based business.  Start placing yourself in correct environment to initiate, build and nurture those relationships.  Look on the sidelines and find out who's there and who they work for.  Relentlessly pursue the job that puts you on the sidelines.  Read "The 21 Indisputable Laws of Leadership" by John Maxwell.  Get a hold of the team chaplin and volunteer to help him with anything, making copies, running errands, anything.  Don't take "no" for an answer.  Don't be annoying, be persistant.  Did I mention to refine your people skills?\n\nGo for it!

Why is this just singled out to football players?.. There are alot more sports than that.  They all do the same thing. You kinda sound like a homo in the making.

What does this question have to do with football?

no one knows because many are in the closet. But 75% is a rediculous figure . In the general population studies have been as high as 10% and as low as 1%, so I'd guess about 5% and the same would probably be true in Pro football

That way we can say that it's more complicated and that we are origional, when in all actuality, it's nearly the same game, if not easier. In cases such as Football, it's just so that we don't have to keep moving in between plays. It's the lazy way out.

same with football when the coach says i have two great quarterbacks it means they both suck\n\nso you are saying i have these two equal guys and they probably are both p*ssy boys

What is there not to like about the Patriots? They play disciplined football, don't talk trash and have the best QB and coach in football. Not to mention an owner who understands the players, stays out of the coach's way and built Gillette Stadium out of his pocket. They are for the most part blue collar, lunch box, no name player team. That's what we like about the Patriots. My question would be what is there not to like?

To play the game of football (American), strength is a key factor, as many different facets of the game are based on trying to control the movements of other players -- be it through blocking, running or tackling. And while technique and leverage are key aspects of this, they can only compensate for so much if one player is significantly stronger than the other. So yes, to be successful, I would say strength is a key factor in the game.\nThe one exception to this might be the role of kicker or punter, but each of those also need strong legs, which would again go back to the need for strong muscles.\nHope this helps.

well first tell us which football class.............college or nfl..........if your talking about the nfl then you have to wait for about 4 or 5 more weeks before we all know because the regular season ends and then the announcers will tell us who is going and who is staying.....or you could go to nfl.com and search for yourself\n\nif its college which i think it is then you have to wait until next sunday at 8pm i believe.......not too sure because nfl is better\n\nanyways why do ppl ask these questions.......its so easy to search the answers for yourself

It's not a major sport, and it's definitely isnt the NFL's minor league, NFL EUrope and college plays that role.  It's a fun little niche sport that really isn't to bad.

Football.  I can never see what's going on in a basketball game, except when someone scores.  In football, at least you can tell from where the line forms.\n\nCan you tell I'm not much into sports?  Last time they got my attention was when Joe Montana was leading the 49ers to a smashing victory, and we all went out into the streets to celebrate.  That was late 70s?  Early 80s?
