Don't feel badly Paolo . American football probably doesn't confuse you any more than Australian football confuses us.  And I don't think you ever really know it all. I've been watching American football for 35+ years, and every so often I still learn rules I didn't know existed. Just this year I learned that when the quarterback takes the snap from center and the ball goes through his hands without him touching it, it's a dead ball. I would have bet my life that ball was up for grabs.
If you want to learn about some good history in American football, just read more about the Packers. You couldn't find a more storied franchise.

THEY DID IT!!!!!!!
Coach, Brady and the rest of the Pats really stuck it to the rest of the league who were bitching and crying about "cheating and running up the score!" Randy Mosss what a pick up and not a negative word out of him! GO FIGURE! That was the best 4th round draft pick a team EVER spent! Not to mention the additions of Welker and stalwarth! What a team. 16-0 and they will probably continue that streak into next season! Good luck to the rest of the NFL!

I enjoy it myself. Your football players are like soccer players with a death wish. lol. They lay some big hits considering they wear no padding or helmets. It's not a sport for the faint of heart, that's for sure.
