  • NFL: 2013 Official Playing Rules of the National Football League
    2013 OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Roger Goodell, Commissioner Preface This edition of the Official Playing Rules of the National Football League contains all current rules governing the playing of professional football that are in effect for the 2013 NFL season. Member clubs of the League may amend the rules from time to time, pursuant to the applicable voting procedures of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws. Any intra-League dispute or call for interpretation in connection with these rules will be decided by the Commissioner of the League, whose ruling will be final. Because interconference games are played throughout the preseason, regular season, and postseason in the NFL, all rules contained in this book apply uniformly to both the American and National Football Conferences. At many places in the text there are approved rulings which serve to supplement and illustrate the basic language of the rules. Each is headed by an abbreviation, followed by a number (e.g. “A.R. 3.20”). The letter “A” in an approved ruling indicates the team that puts the ball in play, and its opponents are designated by the letter “B.” Whenever a team is in possession of the ball, it is the offense, and at such time its opponent is the defense. Yard lines and players are indicated by numerals. Thus, for example: “A.R. 5.1 Third-and-10 on A30. During a run prior to an intended pass by quarterback A1, defensive player B1 holds flanker A2 on the A45…” Where the word “illegal” appears in this rule book, it is an institutional term of art pertaining strictly to actions that violate NFL playing rules.

  • Coaching Special Teams 126 Coaching Youth Football Coaching Special Teams 127
    8 Coaching Special Teams 126 Coaching Youth Football Coaching Special Teams 127 ll phases of the kicking segments of a football game are referred to as “special teams.” Just as you teach the offensive and defensive segments to Ayour team, you also will coach all phases of the kicking game. At times, players focus more on their duties on offense and defense and downplay their roles as special teams players. However, special teams are an integral part of a successful football team, and you, as the coach, must remind all players that their contribution on special teams is just as important as their contribution on offense and defense. Kicking-Game Rules The following are special rules that apply only to special teams and should be taught to players as you coach the different phases of the kick- ing game: • A player signals a fair catch by extending an arm above the head and waving it from side to side. The receiving player cannot hit or be hit after a fair catch, and the ball cannot be advanced after the catch. • The kicking team may down the football after the ball has hit the ground. • No one on either team may block below the waist. • No player on the receiving team may touch the punter or kicker unless the receiving team has blocked the kick or the kicker runs with the ball. • A field goal is a scrimmage kick and uses the same rules as the punt. • On a kickoff, after the ball has traveled 10 yards, it is a free ball and either team can gain possession of it.

    Episode 15: Not Just For Kicks: NFL Placekicker Returns for a Diploma 33 Years Later (7/4/2018) Segment Who Copy Intro Kevin I've been in some big offices with some very powerful people Butler and I've had guys sit on the other side of the desk and look at me, and the only thing they wanna know about is what it feels like to play football. And behind them somewhere is a framed diploma. And that's the one thing I never had. INTRO MUSIC Podcast Andy Welcome to Second Act Stories, a podcast that looks at people Overview Levine who have made major career changes and are pursuing more rewarding lives in a second act. So since I began this podcast back in March, I’ve always wanted to interview a professional athlete about life after their sports career. And so I was delighted to connect with Kevin Butler, an NFL veteran of 13 seasons from 1985 to 1998. In his rookie season, he was part of Chicago Bears that won Super Bowl XX. So what was life after he left the field? And what was behind his desire to return to the University of Georgia to finally get a degree that had eluded him for 33 years? I traveled to Atlanta and met with Kevin in his study surrounded by awards, photos and football memorabilia. And I sat on a couch with his dog Vinny and had an fascinating 90 minute conversation with the man. Let’s get this started with Kevin Butler’s dazzling football career at the University of Georgia.

  • Player Backgrounds, Opportunity Structures and Racial Stratification in American College Football
    1 PIPELINES ON THE GRIDIRON: PLAYER BACKGROUNDS, OPPORTUNITY STRUCTURES AND RACIAL STRATIFICATION IN AMERICAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL Kyle Siler Utrecht University Published 2019 in Sociology of Sport Journal Vol. 36, pp. 57-76. https://doi.org/10.1123/ssj.2017-0125 2 ABSTRACT: Stacking – the tendency of playing positions to be racially segregated in sports – remains prominent in gridiron football. This raises questions of how stacking persists and how opportunities arise for athletes of different races to assume different roles. Demographic data on 41,484 NCAA football players reveal differences in opportunities and playing roles for student- athletes of different races. In concert with previous racial stacking studies, white players continue to be overrepresented in central, leadership positions. Racial minorities are overrepresented in peripheral ‘skill’ positions. Stacking at each playing position is affected differently by the demographics of player high schools and college teams. Players assuming non-stereotypical roles are much more likely to come from a racially homogenous high school or college team. Even though racially homogenous schools provide stereotype-defying opportunities, they also exhibit intense racial stacking. The few white (or black) players on such teams are overwhelmingly slotted into stereotypical positions. Since stereotype-defying opportunities tend to emerge in racially homogenous schools, blacks playing typically white positions come from relatively poor schools. In contrast, whites playing typically black positions are relatively affluent, since such opportunities tend to emerge in whiter, wealthier schools. Implications for student opportunities and talent inculcation beyond the football field are discussed. 3 Introduction For better or worse, athletics assume a prominent role in campus life for athletes and non- athletes alike in most American colleges.
