Football Games Have 11 Minutes of Action
“There’s very little actual football in a football game.” I rarely record a game since I can’t stand not watching it in real time, but when I do I’m always blown away by how quickly I can skip through it.

The Mystery of the Yellow Line Video
Great explanation of the yellow line that’s placed on the field to indicate where a team needs to get to get a first down. I’d have to agree that the yellow line is probably my single favorite addition to football coverage.

High School Football Formation - Offense of the Future, or Just Unfair?
“By placing one of the quarterbacks at least seven yards behind the line of scrimmage, and no one under center to receive the snap, the A-11 qualifies as a scrimmage kick formation — the alignments used for punts and extra points. Thus interior linemen are granted an exception from having to wear jersey numbers 50 through 79. (The exception was intended to allow a team’s deep snapper not to have to switch to a lineman’s jersey if he was a back or an end.) Any player wearing jersey numbers 1 through 49 and 80 through 99 is potentially eligible to receive a pass.” It looks crazy, and I want to see it in action, but I think I might be a fan. The bit about it looking like basketball on grass might have won me over.
