	American football
		American football, known in the United States as simply football is a competitive team sport related to, derived from, and somewhat similar to, other forms of football, but differing from most of them in significant ways.
		Professional leagues that no longer exist include the World Football League (WFL,1974-75), the United States Football League (USFL,1983-1985), the XFL (XFL,2001), the All American Football Conference (1946-1949), the American Football League (AFL,1960-1969-merged with the NFL in 1970), and the World League of American Football (WLAF,1991-1993-now NFL Europe).
		The team that was trapped in its own end zone, and therefore conceded two points to the other team, kicks the ball from its own 20-yard line.

		The minor Arena Football League (1987-present) plays an indoor adaptation of American football, at a faster pace, on a smaller field with no built-in sidelines -- the edges of the grid are coincident with padded walls similar to those found in a baseball outfield.
		However, rugby league does have a similar system where each side is allowed to be tackled five times while in possession (see the entry for rugby league for an explanation of the play-the-ball and the limited tackles rule).
		A device suitable for professional teams has been developed, that provides for rapid cooling of small areas of skin where large blood vessels are near the surface, and is proposed as a means of cooling the blood quickly without evoking the reflex of isolating the body surface from the core.

	American football at AllExperts
		Tackle football is often banned in American schoolyards in favor of touch football, which uses two-hand touching instead of tackling; or flag football in which a player is "tackled" when an opponent pulls a flag off a belt attached to the player's waist.
		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.
		There is a widespread perception that football teams based in schools and public recreational leagues consume far more than their fair share of the sports budget, although sales of tickets to college (and to some extent high school) football games often make it a revenue-producing sport.

	Remember the AFL
		The American Football League was the only league in North American pro sports ever to have merged with another major league and have all its teams continue to exist.
		The American Football League took advantage of the burgeoning popularity of football by locating teams in major cities that lacked NFL franchises, and by using the growing power of televised football games (bolstered with the help of major network contracts, first with ABC and later with NBC).
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two (Denver and Boston) won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.

	SportsBiz: Big money thinking small - Apr. 19, 2002
		The league has a low cost structure -- team payrolls can't exceed $1.6 million, putting average player pay at about $60,000 -- coupled with growing revenue that is helping to attract big-name owners from other sports.
		Owners from the nation's major sports teams also are attracted by the chance for cost savings with their existing sports holdings and greater growth potential than their main holdings.
		Jerry Jones, owner of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys who says arena football is the growth sport of the coming decade, is the owner of the new Dallas Desperados, a team he bought for $4 million.

		The Football League is an organisation representing 72 professional football clubs in England and Wales, and runs the oldest professional football league competition in the world.
		The Football League was founded in 1888 with 12 member clubs, but steady growth and the addition of more divisions meant that by 1959 the League had 92 clubs.
		The Football League therefore no longer represents the top 20 clubs who belong to this group, although promotion and relegation between The Football League and the FA Premier League continues.

		With the keys to the arena in one hand and a head coach in the other, the time was ripe to bring arena football to New Orleans.
		AFL teams are much smaller than those in the NFL, so of the 37 who made it to camp, only 24 made the team.

		Those two teams played three combined seasons before folding quicker than Uma Thurmanâs knees at her Pulp Fiction audition, which occurred that same year, but I was struck by the gameâs overwhelming speed, surprising skill and folksy charm.
		Itâs not football on steroids, as every souped-up version of everything is called these days, but maybe more like football on methâ”youâre in a confined space with things pinballing around it, and it eventually knocks out all your teeth and takes all your money.
		In fact, there are the skeletons of about 44 defunct teams and countless misdirected marketing ploys in the AFLâs closet, but relatively few changes to the league and the sport since the current high-class shift directed by league commissioner David Baker, a guy whoâs 6-foot-9 and about 350 pounds.

		The set of historical Arena League helmets shown at this web site is in a fairly advanced set of completion, but there are still several others that I have not yet been able to add to the site, despite having requested for several years the necessary information to complete these.
		This team's earlier helmet design (shown in the photo here, and apparently used 1991-1997, and possibly 1990, also) featured a very unusual fl and orange decal that apparently represented some combination of a stylized bird and some flames; a copy of this helmet decal would be greatly appreciated.
		For the 1994 season, the team moved to Worcester, MA and was renamed the Massachusetts Marauders; I would appreciate a clear photograph of the Marauders' helmet design (not a photograph of a mini-helmet, please).

		Now, as the AFL enters its 20th season, the Arena Bowl is scheduled for June 11th in Las Vegas is nothing more than a longshot dream for the 18 teams vying for a championship.
		As with most expansion teams, regardless of what league they play in, we can expect this to be a long, unforgiving inaugural season for the Blaze.
		Both the Sabercats and the Predators rank among the top six teams in the league according to the Pinnacle future board, so if my handicap is correct and these two teams struggle out of the gate, there will be plenty of value betting against them.
