	American football (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		American football, known in the United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that is both fast-paced and strategic.
		American football does not much resemble soccer, the sport which most people outside the U.S. call "football"; consequently, the sport is commonly known internationally as "American football" or "gridiron".
		Both American football and soccer have their origins in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football.

	The History of Profesional Football
		During a football game the teams are designated as the offensive team (the team in possession of the ball) and the defensive team (the team defending a goal line against the offensive team).
		Defensive linemen principally are responsible for stopping the opposition's rushing attack and, in passing situations, putting pressure on the quarterback.
		Defenses choked off the short pass and defied the quarterback to throw long, assuming that their rush would get to the quarterback first.

		In the modern game of football, the basic elements are a strong defense, to prevent the other team from scoring goals, or even having the opportunity to score, and a sharp, sudden attack that is ready to seize any opportunity to penetrate the opposing defense.
		The football itself was fascinating enough to strike me dumb; and where, in the semifinal against Portugal, I had been driven to lyrical exclamation, I found this game too tense, too fast, too breathtaking to do more than gasp, as much as at what did not happen as at what did.
		The football used in the final, which had been promised for auction to Oxfam, a charity organization that collects for stricken countries, turned up in Germany in the possession of one of the German team, but Oxfam was pressing hopefully for its return.

		Historians agree that the first recorded instance of a game resembling the modern versions of North American football was played between a Canadian and an American university in the mid-1800s using an ad hoc mixture of mostly rugby but some soccer rules.
		American football went to a smaller field as a result of limitations of space at Yale University, and reduced kicking tries to the status of dead ball (either I score or I don't) plays.
		American players in the CFL almost always opt to play in Canada because the quality of their talent may be equal to that of an NFL player but their physical size was deemed to be not large or heavy enough for the American football style.

	Professional Football Researchers Association- Pro Football History
		The merger of the NFL and AAFC in 1950 produced a truly "national" football league that had two West Coast teams in the Rams and 49ers, two in New York with the Giants and Yanks (a combination of the Bulldogs, and Yankees from the AAFC) and the original franchises in the middle.
		The magnificent theatre of pro football was then topped with the first sudden death overtime game in league history after Unitas drove his team down the field to tie the score on Steve Myrha's field goal in the final seven seconds.
		Rozelle also was at the helm when the American Football League was born, in part because of the slow-footed pace the NFL followed in expanding to other cities in the late 50s.
