What is the right way to tackle a football player?
What should someone eat before a major football game?
Do not eat carbs my team mate passed out in a game cause carbs turn straight to sugar then u crash.Definitely do not eat a baked potato cause you will get all jacked up once you start playing.
I have played footall (soccer) compeditavely for over 8 years...before every game our team eats bananas and protein shakes and drink ALOT of water...wait a while after the game before having too much sugar...u will feel sick...protein shakes are very easy to make...u just make a normal smoothie and add protein power..it really helps our team (eat and drink about an hour before the game)Also NO SUAGR the night before..the sugar doesnt catch up to you until the next day and it will slow u down
i would eat a banana with a little but of peanut butter the morning of the game...or a hour before the game. it will help to give you energy and protein. The night before i would sugggest eating pasta of some sort and chicken. But the bagels is also a very good idea.
In my experience don't eat any kinds of meats like chicken because then it will hurt your stomach while you are trying to run.I also read not to eat any protein like fish or protein bars.You can eat breads and bagels though.
Breads and Bagels would be the best thing to eat before a football game.
The night before a footballr game i suggest eatting pasta with absolutely no pop.ON the day of eat a bagel with cream chesse&&water
I am a football Player and I think that's bagels aren't good right before a game. Eat a baked potato and some scrambled eggs the night before or on the morning of the game.
"> "> ">I play football quite a bit and I think that anything with carbs or starch is good like any pasta or potatoes, but it needs to be eaten with at least two hours to digest the food. Always eat lite immediately before the game, a good breakfast with eggs and a banana is good. A small bit of fruit is usually good if you want a snack before the game. Plus all the water your body will hold. "> "> ">The Best Thing To Have Before A Match Is porridge eat this for breakfast and lots of water then about a half an hour before have a banana and if you want to have lucasade put only a couple of sips before and during ;) ">The morning of your match be up at least 4 hours beforehand. Gor breakfast have cereal (Eg: Cornflakes, weatabix, Rice Krispies or Porridge) Do not eat anything coated in chocolate and do not add extra sugar. Top you bowl up with fresh fruit (Eg Strawberries,raspberries, grapes or bananas). Have a glass of juice or water. Make sure you drink plenty of water before and after the match, if you are hungry before the match eat a banana because it has slow releasing energy and won't make you have a stich when you are playing. About an hour before the match drink something like a lucozade sport for an energy boost and keep drinking it through play.How long is the football touchdown zone?

Do players on the practice squad get Super Bowl bonus?
Yes.
The NFL pays for 150 rings to be distributed by the Super Bowl winning team. The team may distribute them however they wish. Should the team decide they want to give out more than 150 rings, they must pay for the cost of the rings after the 150.
So not only do practice squad members get rings but ball boys, trainers, secretaries, among others, probably get one also.

No...

Does a football game continue if a player dies during the game?
There does not appear to be an actual rule in the rulebook to cover this situation. It would potentially be treated as an emergency situation (which covers weather scenarios and other imminent threats) where the commissioner could call for the game to be stopped and resumed on a later date.
Only one player has died on the field in an NFL game - Chuck Hughes of the Detroit Lions in 1971, during a pass play in the final minutes of the game. He was not hit during the play but when returning to the huddle he collapsed due to a heart attack. The game was completed but reportedly in near silence. His teammates were informed of his death before leaving the stadium.
Reggie Brown, also of the Lions, suffered a severe spinal cord injury in 1997 and had to be resuscitated by CPR on the field, but he ultimately survived.
In overtime in pro football are there two overtimes or does it just end after one as a tie?
Depends on the time of year in which the game is played... regular season games have one overtime period (sudden death, first to score wins) and if at the end of the period (full 15 minutes, each team gets 2 timeouts) the score is still tied, it's over. Tie ball game. Playoff games on the other hand cannot end in ties... they'll continue playing indefinately until someone finally scores. (but the odds of 2 playoff caliber teams not being able to kick a field goal in a 15 minute period to seal a win in OT prevent us from seeing a double overtime game!)
This answer is absolutely right. I'd just add that in postseason, overtime is played just like a brand new game. Therefore, each team gets a full 3 timeouts instead of 2, and there would even be a halftime period if the game was tied after the end of 2 overtimes. No game has ever gone beyond a second overtime, though.
The ball is not "out of bounds" unless the ball or the player who possesses it touches the ground in an out of bounds area.
So in the case where the ball is in flight over the sideline, and a player who is inbounds catches it and demonstrates control before stepping out, the pass is complete.
It will be obvious that this is foul, and when you are playing in the NBA, even if the referees don't see it, the crowd would've see it and the other team would also see it.
What is a touchback in football?
A touch back is when a Kick Return or a Punt Return has landed into the opposing EndZone and is placed on the 20 yard line, or if the opposing team catches the ball in the End Zone and Kneels. A nickle back is a third Corner Back in 3-4 Formations or Cover 2 Formations they are usually their to Cover the Slot Reciever.
Do all football fields run North to south?
