The name of the game football.

In my opinion football is one of the most popular sports. Football is the highest paying sport in America. It is the most watched sport and the most played sport in America. Almost everyone watches it and ejoys it. There are many different teams in many different leagues. Then highest league in footvall is the NFL. Under that would probably be AFL or college ball. College football is the best because all the players are playing their hardest and not for money. So the intesity is a lot higher, in the NFL it seems like the players do it all for the money. For example in the NFL  if a player breaks their pinky they are out for  3 games or something like that. In college its way different, college players take a break for a second and tap it up on the side lines and get back to it. Most college players are trying to make it to the big times so they go all out all the time. That’s what makes college football better than NFL football. In college there are many teams to pick from to like. They have like 12 confrences in all with like 10 teams and more in them each. So it makes it that much  harder to get to the Championship. The NFL there is only 32 teams so it fairly easy to get to the Superbowl. Basically in the NFL you got it or you don’t if your good you know your goin to the NFL. So you can call out which two teams are going to the NFL  before the season even starts. College football your always on your toes to see whos going  to the National Championship, teams are always upsetting other teams. That’s what makes college ball so good. The basic concept of football is to run down and score a touchdown and see who gets the most points. Football is a contact sport so people are always getting hurt. Many players are out for a whole season sometimes. That’s why  you should pray before every game and practice. Well atleast that’s what I did when I played a while back. That’s the name of the game football.

HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL

A football field is 120 yards long. On each end of the field is an end zone, and both of these are 10 yards long. The object of the game is to move the football into one of these end zones. Therefore, the field between the end zone markers is 100 yards exactly.The field is 53 and 1/2 yards wide. The out of bounds is marked by a white line, which is called the boundary marker, boundary line or out of bounds. When a player steps over this line, the play stops. Between the end zone lines, there is a yard line every five yards. Every other one of these yard lines is marked with a number, which from left to right read 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10. These are used to count the distance from the center of the field towards either of the end zone lines.At the end of either end zone, there are goal posts. These post are 18.5 feet apart, and serve as targets for field goals and extra point attempts. Kicking the ball through these goal posts, also called uprights, yield 3 points for a field goal and 1 for an extra point. Each yard is also marked with a yard dash, which are called yard markets. These are used by referees, broadcasters and fans alike, to keep track of a team’s progress. When the game is played the the two teams that are playing each put out 11 players on the the field. 11 on offense and 11 on defense. The object of the offense is to try to run down field and score a touchdown. Meanwhile the deffense has to stop them from trying to score. The offense has four downs a drive. To keep the drive going the offense can get first downs which is every 10 yards. When the offense gets to fourth down and dont get a first down its called a turnover. Which the other team has to bring their offense out. On offense you can throw a interception in which the quater throws the football and a deffensive player catches the ball. There is also a fumble when somebody drops the ball both on offense and deffense. Penaltys are what refrees call when a player does something wrong. Penaltys include offsides, faultstarts, holding, unsportsman like, and many more. You win by whoever scores the most in the game. Thats the name of the game football.
