Football Rules and Regulations

You can't ... all challenges in the final two minutes of each half (in the NFL) are initiated by the replay judges. If the replay judges determines that the play should be reviewed they will notify the referee.

According to referee Ed Hochuli who is quoted in the article that you can read at the 'Touchdown or No Touchdown' link below, a player who crosses out of bounds is awarded a touchdown if a part of his body touches in the end zone, or the pylon, after the ball crosses the 'imaginary' goal line outside the pylons. I interpret the question to ask if a player lands completely out of bounds but the ball crosses the 'imaginary' goal line outside the pylon, is it a touchdown? The way I understand what I read, the answer is no since no part of the player touched inbounds. Click on the 'Touchdown or No Touchdown' link to read the article and weigh in with your opinions. If I'm understanding your question right, you're asking about the hypothetical goal line that "travels around the world" indefinitely out of bounds. The NFL just changed this rule for the 2008 season, so that the extended goal line no longer exists. The player must now break the plane of the goal line within the field of play, or press the ball against the corner pylon, for the touchdown to count.

I'll just gues.Ummmmmm,I'd say about 2-6 ibs.

yes but the game can only end on a defensive penalty if it is declined by the offensive team

The official rules generally state that the numbers are randomly chosen for the officials by the NFL. Or, (if wanted) you could choose a specific number yourself with permission from an NFL staff member.

All you really need is how to catch and tackle a person, catch a ball, and mark a man. When you have all those pinpointed, you can be a football player. But learning all the rules comes with being involved in playing the game.

Prior to the World Series, no. A Wildcard team is the 4th seed teem and faces the top seed in their respective league in the first round, unless the top seed is in the same division. If a Wildcard reaches the World Series, it's a different story. Since 2003 the Home-Field is determined by the winner of the All-Star game. The league that wins the All-Star Game gets home-field. There is no clause in this instance that prevents a wildcard team from having home-field advantage.

so you don't have people running around like a herd of buffalo. you can keep the field spread out, you won't get beat on defense, so the goalie can use their hands, and so someone can be there to receive crosses ect...

TV allots three hours to a football game. It may last a few minutes less or a few minutes more.

In college football, the penalty is 15 yards. In the NFL, the penalty is 10 yards.

Liverpool,Chelsea,Manchester united

the ball is placed where ever the line of scrimage is or if you gained a few yard but not the first down it would be placed there

If the regular season ends and two teams have the same record and are tied for the Wild Card, they go to a one game playoff, where the winner advances into the post season and the loser is eliminated from the playoffs.

Yes. A missed field goal that hits the ground results in no points and the opposing team taking possession at the spot of the kick (not the original line of scrimmage). If the opposing team catches the ball and returns it, the recovering team would instead get the ball at the point where the return ends. It is possible to return the missed FG for a touchdown.

Yes you can faircatch a punt or placekick after a safety. You are then intitled to choose where to put the ball in play along the yard line where the faircatch was made. You may also freekick from that yard line. That placekick may score three points for a good field goal. Tha advantage is the receivers may not get closer than 10 yards to the free kick line giving a real advantage on a long kick.

it means it's the first down and ten yards to go until the next first down

If it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, the kicking team can kick again on the next down.

This happened this week in Iowa vs Northern Iowa. Read about it here: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292482294

Once the passed ball hits any part of the goal posts it is considered dead. According to an article on chicagosports.com, former NFL referee Jerry Markbreit was asked a similar question. "If the ball hits the upright is it still in play on a forward pass or a field goal try?"

His answer was:

"The goal post is out-of-bounds in the end zone; however, a field goal try that hits any part of the goal posts and rebounds through scores three points. So, in this case, the goal post remains in play. If the ball rebounds back into the end zone or into the field of play, it cannot be advanced because it is dead by rule. If a forward pass hits the goal post, it is dead immediately and an incomplete pass is ruled."

No, generally the higher they are drafted the more money they will receive, but it all depends on their contract.

The total rooster is 53, only 48 can get dressed though, 11 on deffense and 11 on offense. Unless youre talking about High School football because then the total rooster is about 30, I believe, including alternatives.

See the Related Links for "Answers.com: paper football" to the bottom for the answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_football or first off get a piece of paper make it into a triangle, then you have one of the sides up someelse makes a goal for you to shoot into the you flick it

Yes, a member of the receiving team can signal for a fair catch. But, even if he doesn't, he must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick. The protection terminates if the ball touches the ground or he muffs the kick.

Including commercial breaks, timeouts I would say an average of 2 hours 27 minutes

In the NFL, after a touchdown the ball is placed on the two yard line. In college, the ball is placed at the three yard line. So it's a 19 yard kick in the NFL, 20 yard kick in College.

10 yards for the length of the endzone + 7 yards that the kicker and holder are set up behind the line of scrimmage + 2 yards, for the ball being placed on the 2 yard line(or 3 for college.

The crossbar is 10 feet above the ground.
