Is there a reason that American Football is not an Olympic sport?

Are you ever surprised that one of the biggest sports in one of the largest countries will not be shared with the rest of the world? You have to think that the Olympic Committee has received at least some request for addition of football. This article is intended to highlight some of the special reasons that it is not eligible for any future Olympic Games might. In the first place ,  it is mostly  an American Sports.
Second, they'd probably shut it down like baseball and softball. Thirdly, the shear volume of players as a small reason for the non-inclusion. Fourthly, there is no international sports organization for football
Football is an American Sports
That is one of the main reasons that football cannot be considered in the first place an American sports. American football isn't the only sport origin to this nation. Many sports such as baseball and basketball have extensive there reach to other countries. Football has never really extended past our continent. One reason may be due to the fact that football is a relatively newer sport. Although the exact date is unknown, we recommend that it began in the late 1800 's. much later than some of its sporty family members: rugby or even football.
They would shut it down like baseball and softball
Much to the disappointment of many American fans baseball and softball will not be a part of the 2012 London Games. One of the reasons is that the United States it so often that there really is no amount of competition that may come up against them. We can easily assume that if football was only in the Olympic games that the relativity theory would be impossible our talent in the sport to dethrone. See if there is no point in competing against the likes of the New York Giants of the Patriots in shear atheism, an indication that the same fate that has visited baseball and softball surely come to pass that on American football even after it was only in the Olympic Games.
 An average football team has anywhere from 25 to 30 members. Twice as many people wouldn't be a big reason for the non-inclusion in the summer Olympics, but it currently only concern about getting the competition that is not from the United States to come and participate.
No international sport organization
By far the biggest reason that American football not joined the ranks of the Olympic Games to football is missing an international sport organization. One of the requirements of each sport prior to entering the Olympic Games is an international organisation established to govern the sport around the world.
The first reason, Given that football is an American sports, and that this sport not occur with other countries the imprisoned is not likely that any organisation in the near future are formed. Thus promoting the distance that American football would have on a trip to the games.

10 little known facts about New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick

In the assessment of NFL head coaches of the last ten years or so by the on field performance of their team, it is difficult to someone higher up the list than New England's own Bill Belichick.  Belichick got his first head coaching break with the Cleveland Browns, and things didn't go so well.  He has been the top man in New England, the team has seemingly a contender every season.  Here's a look at ten little-known facts about New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
1. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee.
2. He was head coach of the Cleveland Browns for five seasons, but in only one of them has his team put up a winning record.
3. his father played pro football for the Detroit Lions.
4. He studied at the Wesleyan University and while in College, he played tight end and the Centre of the football team while also excels in two other sports; lacrosse and squash.
5. The coach has a college degree in economics.
6. his first coaching job in the NFL was as an Assistant with the Baltimore Colts.
7. Bill Belichick has spent time as an Assistant or as head coach of the following franchises: Colts, Lions, Browns Broncos, Giants, Patriots and jets.
8. He was the last head coach of the old Cleveland Browns before they moved to Baltimore to the Colts.  Before the team moved that he was fired as head coach, he would be replaced by Ted Marchibroda, who had given him his first NFL job in the mid-1970s when, as head coach of the Colts he hired as his assistant Belichick.
9. number of people who have served as assistant coaches for Belichick and gone to his head coaches elsewhere include: Romeo Crennel (Cleveland Browns), Eric Mangini (New York Jets), Nick Saban (Miami Dolphins), Charlie Weis (Notre Dame), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa), Al Groh (Virginia), and Pat Hill (Fresno State).
10. Bill Belichick's father was an assistant coach for the United States Naval Academy football team for more than 30 years.
Bill Belichick changed the New England Patriots in a team that is deeply concerned about every year by the other teams in the League.  He not only instilled his trademark tough defense on the team, he has given them an infringement which it is difficult for other teams to compete with on the basis of game-by-game as well.  A private person, Belichick will always remain a somewhat mysterious picture in this era where we seem to have 24 hour access to sports figures life.  It doesn't matter how someone personally about Belichick already feels, you can't argue with the results that he and the Patriots have gotten on the field.

The violent sports-football, ice hockey or MMA?


So what's with all the rhetoric and discussion about MMA is a violent sport? Have one of these opponents ever saw a football game? Ice hockey? Rugby? Talk about violent sports! And these have already been approved and sanctioned!

Senator McCain and a lot of politicians on the bandwagon of anti-MMA, although sources close to senator McCain have me personally that he "comes around" and is willing to take a closer look at the sport. Well thank God for that, because what MMA was in 1995 is not what it is today.

A report from the Journal of sports Science and medicine, (JOSS & M) stated: "the incidence of damage in combat sports not enough reported already, it is important to the nature and frequency of injuries prior to the implementation of prevention programs."

In their study, they compared: "injury rates treated in hospital emergency services between different combat sports of boxing, wrestling and martial arts. A secondary objective described anatomical region and diagnosis of these injuries. Data were obtained on all boxing, wrestling and martial arts-related injuries that were in the national electronic Injury Surveillance System database and resulted in emergency department visits between 2002 and 2005. "

Their findings? "Martial arts had lower injury rates in comparison with boxing and wrestling for all diagnoses (p

Their recommendation? Stop fighting? Ban on MMA? Nope. In fact, presented the report "injury prevention efforts need to consider the distribution of lesions and concentrate on preventing strains/sprains in wrestling, concussion in boxing and wrestling and fractures for all three activities." So basically, as with any other sport, one must take good care and use preventive measures when training or competing. Okay-good to know.

Besides, I think that if an athlete is entering the ring to fight in an event of the mixed martial arts, we cannot assume that he's pretty much know what to expect and that he/she is physically fit and ready for the rigors of his sport? The JOSS & M report went on: "the findings of the present study offer no proof that combat sports alarmingly high rates of injuries resulting in emergency department visits."

Interesting. Hope Senator McCain read this report.

You can view the entire study here: injuries in Combat Sports. Then I'll talk about sports injuries in football and ice hockey. A little comparison. Should be interesting.

How to beat the online football games How


Have you every went to your free football pick-em contest site on Monday morning, anticipate your name in the # 1 position in the standings only to find you in 27,345 place? You picked 15 right out of 16 possible selections and you were so far down in the list that you felt hitting the delete button on the contest site. Yep that is normal for the more popular games such as ESPN and the most important sports publications that hundreds of thousands of participants each year. But don't panic, if you really look at the above situation, you're really in 2nd place and only 1 game is reflected in the first place. If the maximum picks available were 16, and you had 15, most of the leader might have is 16 allowing you the 2nd place.

There is little doubt that go against that many people will be the race closer to the opportunities of a lottery than a contest of skill. Some of these "free" games offer some very nice prizes, but the big cash prizes usually come from the contests that kind of cash deposits. Of course, now is your chance to win improved if the number of participants is drastically reduced, but then again these contests are usually those that draw from the very good sports handicappers, those who are serious players in the sport bets and disabilities. Personally I'd rather take my chances with fewer people and a little effort to research the schema and the winners.

There are two types of football Pick 'em contests, those that require you to only pick the winner of the game outright, then the type that are played "against the spread". Again, you can make a huge difference in the number of entries that you're up against and the chance of someone getting a "perfect" map on a specific Sunday its outermost. A very good football handicapper is hard pressed to win 60% of the games that he picks up against the spread. The spread is a number that is assigned to the weaker of the two teams to even the score in a manner of speaking for betting purposes. The books of the sport in Las Vegas would not exist if they allowed bettors to just to place bets on who will win the game. So they make a point to even want to spread out the bets on each team as much as possible.

To win an online contest of any kind is very difficult because of the number of people that you're playing against. But you can cut the risk by playing in the races that have a small fee and you can further cut through to play against the spread. Either way the aim is to get as many winners as possible and hope between you do your homework and a little (a lot of luck) you can get more winners than all others. Here are a few tips for choosing the winners in the no point contests:

You can decide which of the two teams is the better team by just looking at the point spread on one of the online books or sometimes in your local newspaper. USA Today posts also point spreads on all games. The team that the minus (-) before the number displayed is the favorite. Example: New England-7 over the New York Jets means that the oddsmakers believe the Patriots 7 points better than the New York Jets in this specific weeks game.

Once you determine who the Favorites, look for the all favorites with point spreads with 7 points or more and pack them automatically in your contest. These teams will only lose the game straight up about 20% of the time. You then want to search for those teams that play at home and get either 3 points or less, or his beneficiary. This should be automatic picks. Now the fun begins. every week there are 3 or 4 games that are not covered in these scenarios, and these are the games that usually make the difference between cashing in the money and stretch of the season as just having a whole lot of fun.

Finding those 3 or 4 teams to withdraw from the region will need to do some research. Reading news articles, injury reports, watching game situations, revision weather etc. .... of course, now we get into the hard core handicaps, and unless you are experienced and have the time, your best and have fun. There is a resource that can help such as sports betting services and consultants, but you certainly don't want to pay for services for an online contest unless you were getting close to the cashing in on a great victory, but then came you this far without them, why should now switch.

You would like to participate in the "Las Vegas Sports Handicappers workshop" that is free and with a panel of experts each week, you could get a big lead on some of the games for your contest, it's also a great resource for the serious sport bettor. The workshop is held every Wednesday at 9 pm Eastern 6 pm Pacific. It's a free conference room with live chat and audio.

During the game, Jones performed on the ball 22 times for 210 yards and a touchdown. His dominant performance put him at the top of the list for rushing yards in a single game in team history, breaking the old record of 203 meters, which was founded by Curtis Martin in 2000. On top of that though, maybe the most amazing part of the game was that his performance had given him a yards per carry average of 9.55. Not bad for a player who has played on a handful of teams during his career.

Despite this achievement, the relationship between these wraps and this team does not continue. Jones would go to the Kansas City Chiefs the next season, but that October night in 2009, he ran the ball for more yards than any player in the history of the New York Jets.

There are some very good resources out there for quality football trivia, and they are also easy to use. As a fan of a team or a player, you know how much fun it can be to learn about some of the less familiar things in the world of football. football trivia and little known facts are often the best part about the game.

Why the NFL'S Buffalo Bills are the only true New York Team


Football, and the National Football League in particular, is one of the most popular sports leagues in the United States. There is no doubt of its popularity, as it is popular on both coasts, in the Middle, and in large and small cities.

New York is one of the most densely populated countries in America, but a tragedy happened years ago and has yet to be corrected. Florida is home to three NFL teams, the Miami Dolphins Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bay area in Northern California is home to two teams, the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers. There is even a third team to Southern California, the San Diego Chargers. There are even countries in the Interior of the country that two teams, such as the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs of Missouri and the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals of Ohio. When people New York and the NFL thinking, they think of three teams. That's a lie.

The city of New York has historically represented by two teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Like most football fans already know, call them both the neighboring state of New Jersey home. That leaves the Buffalo Bills as the one and only true New York team in the NFL. How is it possible that New York, the State, it may not correspond to the amount of teams that Florida, California, Missouri and Ohio? Putting it in perspective, New York home to as many NFL teams such as Wisconsin. No disrespect to Wisconsin is if they have some of the best fans and the Green Bay Packers have been very successful over the years, but something just not right about that.

Isn't it just so wrong to call the Giants and jets by the name of New York? Not us the bears the Indiana Bears. Not us the Cardinals the Cardinals of New Mexico. The Seahawks are not the Idaho Seahawks. Then why should New Jersey pro football teams get to claim that New York as their home?








More Buffalo Bills trivia can be found at iqfb.com! Use the knowledge found there to impress your friends, bets will win, or even just for general information. Football trivia is popular with many people, or they're fans of the NFL, USFL, Arena Football, Canadian Football, College Football, or another level of the game. IQFB ... Get Smart football.

The winningest quarterbacks in the New York Giants Team history


The New York Jets have a somewhat bumpy ride during the history as a professional football team. They still had not always been the best talent, but even when they did it for some reason wouldn't clicks for them. The team has loyal fans already and has shown great promise in the past few years.

She started in the American Football League in 1960 as the New York Titans and had some bleak early seasons. By the end of the Decade they had shocked the world by winning the Super Bowl III on the heavily favored Baltimore Colts of the more established National Football League. Twenty some years of futility would come next as the team sometimes was good but more often than not found is at or near the bottom of the League rankings.

The mid-1990s saw the team rebound somewhat in a team that others would have at least a little to worry about. They put together some good seasons, and had some good players, even making the deep in the playoffs on occasion. Through all those years, quarterbacks have been instrumental in the successes and failures of the team. That has already been reached as the winningest quarterbacks in the New York Jets history? Here are the top three players in that category.

Learn how to Bet on football


Football season is high season for gamblers and Vegas right. With so many college games and of course the NFL is almost always a game to bet on from September to January.

Since Sportsbooks appetite to bet on football recognize, there is no shortage of ways to bet on football.

The colon bets
Bet on the point spread is by far the most popular way to bet on football.

The point spread is a number that the odds-makers come up with in order to level the playing field of the two opposing teams. In short, the favorite team will be watching the underdog a certain amount of points. To bet on the favorite to win their bet, the favorite wins the game over the point spread. If your favorite game with fewer points than the point spread WINS or loses the game at all, would be used on the underdog win their commitment.

Here is an example of how to bet the point spread on a soccer game. Let's say that the Colts are seven point Favorites versus the 49ers. If you are the Colts (-7) they would have to win the game by at least eight points in order for your bet is a winner is supported. Conversely, if you bet on the 49ers (+ 7), the 49ers should lose the game with no more than six points to win the bet. The 49ers beat the Colts ended outright, the 49ers (+ 7) commitment also as a winner. Finally, the Colts won the contest by exactly seven points, the commitment would be considered a "push" If you be refunded your bet, or ' not activated and ' would have.

Total betting

Also known as the over/under, is the ' total ' a predicted of combined points between two opposing football teams. You have the option to either betting of the ' about ' or the ' under '. If you bet on the ' about ', the two teams combine for more points than the indicated ' total ' for the bet to win. If you ' under ' support, can combine the two teams not to score more points than the indicated ' total ' in order to be in cash.

For example, has a sports book the ' total ' for the Colts vs. Steelers game at 38. If the two teams for 39 or more points combine, ' ' bets will win while ' ' under bets would lose. However, if they combined for less than 39 points, "under" bets would win ' while ' bets would lose. If the last combined total points fell to just 38 points, would ' about ' and ' ' under bets will be classified as a "push" resulting in betting is not activated and '.

The Money Line betting odds
A third popular option for betting on football is the money line. When the bet on the line of the money that you bet on a team to win the game outright, the final score doesn't matter.

Although this concept is so simple when it comes, insight into the opportunities associated with money line bets are much different than the point spread. The favorite team will have a minus sign (-) in front of a three-digit number while the underdog will usually have a plus (+) sign for a three-digit number.

Here is an example of how to bet on a football money line. The dolphins are displayed as the-160 favorite versus the jets to + 130 are listed. If you're going to back the favorite dolphins, would you $ 100 for every $ 160 deployed as long as the dolphins win win. On the other hand, if you saw value in the underdog jets, would win $ 130 for every $ 100 that you deployed as long as they win the game outright.

Parlays and teasers

There are lots of other ways to bet on football, including parlays and teasers.

Parlays-an attractive bet type for gamblers looking to make a larger profit of a small or medium sized bet, parlays are always a popular bet during the football season.

A parlay is a single bet in which numerous games or selections. All of the selections have to win to the parlay to be classified as a winner. Because all of the selections have to win, the payouts are becoming more generous as more selections are added.

For example, let's say that you have a $ 100 parlay on the Chargers-7 with the Patriots-3. If both of the games coverage in your favor, you would win $ 260, given that the normal payout for a two-team parlay is 13: 5.

As I said, the higher the number of teams in the parlay, the size of the payouts. A ten-team parlay, for example, pays around 700: 1 depending on the sportsbook. So could you for a $ 2 dollars, $ 1400 win when all 10 selections covered.

Teasers-another word you hear every week by those who on football betting is "teaser"

Teaser bets are a single bet which you select at least two games and are allowed to change the distribution or total in your favor by a certain amount of points.

For example, suppose you want to do a point 6 teaser with the Raiders + 10 points and the Bengals-3 points. By teasing each game by 6 points, you have now the Raiders subnormal points and the Bengals on + 3 points. Since this is considered a single bet, you must have both of these bullied spreads relate in order for you to win the bet.

Depending on the sports book, teasers are generally allowed for 6, 6, or 7 points for football. Moreover, they often allow anywhere from two team teasers up to 15 team teasers at all; again, depending on the book of the sport.

There you go sports fans, now you know the basics on how to bet on football.

The city thrives with the birth of advanced mode every five minutes come to life. Theater actors are put to their best in this place. Even the food is served amazing!

Of today's modern fashion accessories, fine dining artworks created delicious every day, to the most hard-to-find parts; It is without a doubt that New York home to two or more. After all, why, when you have two, right?

This is indeed the thing that this city of color and tempo apart from any part of the world. It is the capital of option.

So now or your daily wear and tear, your football team, you only need to choose!

With the proclamation of the New York Giants during the 1920s, came about the birth of another football team during the late 1950s to the early 1960s. We are talking about the New York Jets. Yes, if you've seen the famous combination of white and green uniforms in the football field, then that team would be, without a doubt, one of the two New York NFL teams.

Now, to some, the New York Jets and the New York Titans can seem confusing and overlapping. They are actually two different teams or are they the same? Actually, they are one and the same. You see, when the team was formed in 1959, the originally had the name New York Titans. Their first ever coach was Sammy Baugh, which at that time was awarded a $ 28,000 per year contract with the franchise. On around 1963 decided Werblin, of the club President and CEO, that there is a need to change the name of the franchise to symbolize the new obsession of humans to travel on not only the air, but space itself. Along with the Moon walking astronauts, the team name was then changed from New York Titans, in the New York Jets. From there on, we can directly say that the rest is history. The team is one of the most competitive teams who've been there. The team also holds the record as the only team which has had three straight hours of overtime games in the season. This happened during the year 2005.

If the frame of mind in the Big Apple, not an option as bad. After all, would it not be an option if it's not a good. In addition, nothing would be so big in New York as it was not worth mentioning.

Washington Redskins-the five best NFL teams in the history of football

While a lot of people dispute can and debate the five best NFL teams in the history of football as mentioned here, everyone will agree that these were great teams that earn the honour and brace one way or another.


1985 Chicago Bears


1985 Chicago Bears was a phenomenal team consisting of a non-matching group with energy materials and exciting and interesting personalities. They were great and they knew it, record from their Championship video, "The Super Bowl Shuffle" even before the playoffs started. Led by the Mohawk-wearing quarterback Jim "Punky QB" McMahon and impermeable running and defence line, head of them William "the refrigerator" Perry, Super Bowl MVP defensive end Richard Dent, and NFL Defensive Player of the year Mike ary Singlet, the bears ended the season with a 15-1 record and a total of 456 to 198 points scored. During the playoffs, she won 21-0 against the Giants and 24-0 against the Rams for the NFC title. She won the Super Bowl, scoring 46-10 on the Patriots.


1972 Miami Dolphins


The 1972 Miami Dolphins NFL team is the only one that ever a "perfect season" with a season record of 17-0.

Their undefeated team was led by coach Don Shula and football greats such as Earl Morrall, Bob Griese and Larry Csonka.

Could Peyton Manning extract Barry Sanders?

At the beginning of this week, Tom Condon, agent for Indianapolis Colts All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning, informed Colts President Bill Polian, no resumption of negotiations on a new contract until the season. Manning, 34, found in the last year of a seven-year, vs. 99.2 million dollars, and if not signed a new agreement, it is expected that the Colts slap a label franchise over it by $ 24 million.

This means of course, the franchise tag is still applicable without agreement of collective bargaining in the workplace, especially with an ugly preseason and the real possibility of a crash looming yet large on the horizon.Recently Endowment also spoke against the season 18-game dead NFL owners are set in putting up as soon as posible.Mientras that he fully supported the Union in the negotiations, Manning left the job of the representative of the player to its Centre, Jeff Saturday.

These reports, combined with the current atmosphere of the League, a question that probably nobody in Indianapolis wants to hear: Peyton Manning is, preparing to retire from the NFL? Perhaps is idle speculation to suggest such a thing.In terms of capacity, Manning has no reason to pie.Él is still at the top of his game and among the leaders of the League in each category of positive step. In addition, it has never lost a home NFL seasons 12 1/2, and has managed to avoid injury any debilitating race, largely because it plays behind a strong offensive line and know how to avoid the defenders in your pocket.

That said, if the 2011 season disappears, Manning not play again until he is 36, and although an 18-game NFL season become a reality, Manning would need at least 5 Seasons more to break the record for Brett Favre starts running. See a 40 - something Favre hinder around in New York and Minnesota in recent seasons few is an argument persuasive against sticks around long - even if that is what seems to make each player not named NFL Barry Sanders.

What is more important, there is no better prepared to walk away from a ravaged workforce by NFL conflicts that Peyton Manning.Tiene his credentials, All-Pro, five times, 3-time MVP and Super Bowl ring Super Bowl XLI MVP, leader of all time in yards per game, rocket arm - laser make him a blockade of the first ballot for the Hall of Fame.Don't need the money, already sea.Manning has averaged more than 25 million dollars per year over the last six years in salaries and terms combined. It has not only become the athlete excellence pitchman, but he is shown is got big screen charisma.

This charism, combined with his deep knowledge of the game: a total football geek men could actually get Manning any television work wants. If you decided to leave the National Football League and becoming a schoolboy color commentator, there isn't a network in United States that does not give a concert and not hurt their prospects for commercial endorsement.

However, it is more intriguing, the financial situation of Manning.Imaginen for a moment if Manning became so upset with the situation of work of the National Football League who decided to switch leagues - not as a player, but as an owner.If Manning announced that he wanted to start a franchise in the United Soccer League, say, Memphis, the League would welcome him with open arms.Start as a franchise that cost 30 million dollars;Manning could write that check yourself.He could help also converted located not only in a more favourable to the fan, but in a more favourable to the jugador.Manning League League known as nobody fatigas them support of football players and its address may help localized in the treatment of its players to the NFL, could only do to the League of a viable alternative for some players in the long term.

Perhaps too big a stretch, however, to suggest that Manning would be interested in this entire cosa.Con, seems much more likely to expect the mess of 2011 and continue to pursue a second ring for a few years más.No be surprised too, however, if Manning ultimately decides the future NFL is an NFL in which no longer wants to jugar.Él is prepared very well for an example that puesto.Es NFL career more than soccer players would do well to follow.
