An Introduction To American Football

What exactly are the rules? I'm never one to miss a new game by GDS, and this is no exception.

I've never seen or played the game, so I'm a completely novice. I believe it is somewhat similar to rugby though (which I am a player of)... so if there are any similarities, please fill me in.

Excellent site..

If you want a good book about football for new fans, this is really good to know the basics and even some history and some deep strategic stuff. Don't feel ofended by the book title, it's really good.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Football (2nd Edition)

Do a search on Google as i don't want to put the direct link, but you can buy it in most of the online known bookstores. You can even buy a .pdf downloadable version in Amazon.

Another good website to learn the basics:
