	American football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American football is indeed quite physical in comparison to sports like basketball and soccer (which is itself known as "football" outside the U.S.) as well as other major American team sports.
		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.
		Injuries are more common in American football than in many other sports, although rule changes made in the past 90 years (for instance, the elimination of "horse-collar tackles") have gradually lowered the rates of injuries.

		Game play in American football consists of a series of individual plays of short duration, outside of which the ball is not in play.

	American football defensive schemes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into American football strategy.
		In order for coaches and players of American football (and, with the necessary modifications for adding a twelfth player, Canadian Football) to exchange information in a rapid manner during practices and games, a more or less standard terminology for defensive schemes has been developed.
		Players on the defensive side of the ball are generally split between down linemen (tackles, defensive ends and nose guards), linebackers, and defensive backs (safeties and cornerbacks).

	Articles - History of American football (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The history of American football is an important part of both the culture of the United States and the broader history of various football games around the world, in which a ball is kicked at a goal and/or or carried over a line.
		Football caught on among the general population and began to be the subject of intense competition and rivalry, albeit of a localised nature.
		In 1912, football fields were reduced in width by 35 yards, the value of a touchdown increased to six points, and a fourth down was added, before possession would switch.

		In this case, the guard to the side in which the running back is helping to protect will still label the nose guard as the number 1 down defender to his side; however, if that nose guard slants away from the guard he will then join in the slide scheme protecting his inside A gap.
		If the nose guard rushes straight ahead or slants to the guard to the side that the running back is helping to protect then the guard will block him just like he would any other defender he had labeled as number one to his side.
		In this case a “three” call will be made alerting the center, guard, and tackle on the slide side that they now must account and block the three defenders on the line of scrimmage to their side.

	Football (American) [encyclopedia]
		American football is played at several levels in the United States: from Pop Warner youth leagues to teams from high schools to teams from colleges and universities (popularly known as College Football) to teams of professional players.
		Although a football play never begins in an end zone, it is possible for a play to take place there after the ball is snapped.
		Guards may sometimes also be expected to pull, or move to the opposite side of the line, in support of certain kinds of plays.

		There are two guards, one on either side of the center, whose job it is to guard the quarterback.
		For instance, in a sweep, the guards pull from their positions to block for the ball carrier as he moves left or right, then up the field.
		Additionally, in professional football, the end on the left is referred to as a 'wide' receiver.

	American Football
		Although football had been played in one form or another for centuries, the American version of the sport originated, for the most part, in Northeastern high schools and matured during the late nineteenth century in the Ivy League universities of the Northeast.
		Amos Alonzo Stagg, a Yale All-American in 1889 and later one of the game's greatest coaches, recalled that "the subterfuge was conceived of inch-kicking," whereby the kicker made an "inch kick" to himself, thus retaining possession of the ball.
		In 1901 football was added to the program of events associated with Pasadena, California's twelve-year-old Tournament of Roses; on New Year's Day of 1902, the tradition of the Rose Bowl was born.

		The better mouth guards are more effective because they are moulded to the shape of your own teeth, which provides better support than a 'standard' guard.
		This is a simple process whereby you simply dip the guard in hot water for a while (to soften the putty), bite into it for a few seconds (to mould it to your teeth) and then leave it set.
		American Football boots are often called cleats and differ from most other studded boots in that they have an extra stud at the front, for extra grip when firing off.
