A football is shaped as a prolate spheroid. This shape was chosen 1) to help the players grip the ball better, and 2) to hep with passing the football. It is more aerodynamic than the pre-1934 footballs, which were larger with blunter ends. The smaller size and stretched out spheroid shape made the ball easier to grip and throw,

George Blanda is a record-setting quarterback and placekicker in the United States. Blanda played football for 26 seasons, longer than anyone else, but he is probably best remembered for his last-minute heroic scoring in back-to-back games. In 1970, Blande scored 4 wins and 1 tie for his team with last-second touchdown passes or field goals.

The Detroit Lions actually started as the Portsmouth Ohio Spartans in 1930 and joined the NFL the same year. After the 1933 season, the team was sold and moved to Detroit where it was re-named the Lions.

Three noteworthy players have worn number 55 for the New York Giants -- All-Pro/Pro Bowl center Ray Wietecha (1953-62), linebacker Brian Kelley (1973-83) and linebacker Gary Reasons (1984-91).

== == Mark Moseley of the Redskins is the only place kicker to win the NFL MVP award. The year was 1982.

Terry Bradshaw was the QB for the 4 SuperBowl wins in the '70's (painful for me as a Cowboys fan). Neil O'Donnell was the QB for the SuperBowl loss in 1995 (a much happier game for a Cowboy fan). Ben Roethlisberger was the QB for the SuperBowl win in 2005. He was the youngest QB ever to win a SB although he had a very poor game statistically (lowest QB rating in a SB by a winning WB).

Dan Reeves.

Reeves was head coach of the Denver Broncos that lost Super Bowls XXI, XXII, and XXIV and the Atlanta Falcons that lost Super Bowl XXXIII, ironically, to the Denver Broncos.

While Reeves was 0-4 in Super Bowls as a head coach he was a running back for the Dallas Cowboys that won Super Bowl VI over the Miami Dolphins.

The Saints and Steelers have played each other 15 times in their history. Through their last meeting on November 30, 2014, the Saints lead the series 8-7.

The current coach of the Atlanta Falcons is named Mike Smith.

Jerry Rice had 22, 895 receiving yards in his career, by far the most ever. Currently Isaac Bruce is second with just over 15,000 receiving yards.

The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks to win their 5th Super Bowl championship.

Two Black Head Coaches have won a Super Bowl. They are Tony Dungy - of the Indianapolis Colts - who was the first Black Head Coach to ever win a Super Bowl and most recently, Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers whose team beat the Arizona Cardinals in an amazing game this February 2009.

(3-13) in division would be the worst record a team can have and still possibly make the playoffs.

As of January 3, 2011, the 2010 Seattle Seahawks are in the 2010 NFL playoffs with a 7-9 record.Not only is this the worst record to make the playoffs, it is the worst record to win a division as well. Although, it is possible to have every team in a division go 3-13.

0 wins, 10 losses, and 6 ties (0-10-6) or 3 wins and 13 losses (3-13).

In the first instance, every team in the same division would have to tie each of its 3 division opponents twice, and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (0-10-6), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ.

In the 2nd instance, every team in the same division would have to split 1-1 with each of its 3 division opponents and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (3-13), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ.

Terrell Owens has never been on a team that won the Super Bowl. He was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles that played the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX which the Patriots won 24-21.

Walter Payton.

Caito's comment concerned Walter's powerful muscles in his gluteus maximus (butt) which were the source of the power in his lower body.

The 1988-1990 San Francisco 49ers hold the record for the consecutive road game victories. They won 18 road games in a row.

It depends on a lot of things: position, level of competition (Division, conference?), etc. Height is more important for some positions than others. Height is pretty important for receivers, pocket QBs, DLine. It is an asset for most defensive positions, but not necessarily required. For most positions, there are examples of players who have been good despite not being as tall as most other good players at their position.

Height is not as important in college as in pro. Lots of teams run option offenses in college, which can be successful with very few tall guys (look at WVU over the past few years -- RB Slaton 5'9, QB White at 6', mostly small receivers).

Alabama beat the Marion Institute 110-0 in 1922.

The Cleveland Browns were established in 1946.
