00:00listen up men and women and robots i'm not going to talk to you about winning and losing i'm not

00:16going to talk to you about math or science either but i will tell you this the hopes and dreams of

00:21thousands of brain pop fans are riding on your shoulders you need to win but more importantly

00:28you need to want to win you need to want to want to know how to you need to know how to play football

00:34like all the rules and regulations

00:38and you need me to tell you in less than three minutes but i stayed up all night writing that

00:46cool speech oh fine american football is played on a rectangular field called a gridiron

00:57it's exactly 100 yards long and 160 feet wide

01:02sorry there's no metric system in football the ball looks like this the equipment looks like this

01:12and the game is divided into four 15 minute quarters

01:16of course a game takes a lot longer than an hour since the clock stops during timeouts

01:23penalties injuries incomplete passes halftime measurements wardrobe mouth okay okay each team

01:32puts 11 of its players on the field at once one team starts out playing offense and one team starts

01:40out playing defense the goal of the offense is to move the ball down the field all the way into the

01:46opponents end zone the offense is led by a player called the quarterback and there are a couple ways he

01:58can move the ball he can pass it through the air and have a receiver run downfield to catch it or he can

02:06hand it off to a running back who'll try to break away and run with it toward the end zone

02:10it's up to the defense to stop them

02:14defensive players try to tackle whoever's carrying the ball and break up pass plans before the receiver

02:22can make a catch

02:22of course the offense can only run a single play at one time in football these individual plays are called

02:31downs a down usually ends when the player with the ball is tackled or forced out of bounds

02:37the ball is placed at the spot where the last play stopped and the next down begins

02:43each offense is given four downs to move the ball 10 yards

02:49if they can make it they get another four downs to move another 10 yards

03:01if they can't make it the other team's offense takes over

03:12i'm getting there if a team moves the ball all the way downfield into the opponent's end zone

03:21they score a touchdown

03:23that's worth six points

03:27when a team scores a touchdown they're allowed to try for an extra point by kicking the ball between the goal posts

03:34sometimes the team gets close to the opponent's end zone but can't make it all the way in

03:44instead of just giving the ball to the other team they can kick a field goal and that's worth three points

03:50after a team scores it kicks the ball off to the other team and puts its defense on the field

03:57now it's the other team's chance to try and score

04:00well you can try for a field goal from anywhere on the field but no one has ever kicked one more than 65 yards

04:08usually a team won't try it unless it gets pretty close to the end zone

04:12oh good question

04:15let's say one team's offense is having trouble moving the ball but they're too far away from the end zone

04:22to try for a field goal

04:23in that case they can use their fourth down to punt the ball down the field

04:28that way when the other team's offense takes over they'll have a long way to go before they can score

04:35um before you go out there there are about a trillion other things you need to know

04:43like let's say an offensive player drops the ball as he's running with it

04:49if a defensive player picks it up his team gets to keep it and go on offense

04:54that's called a fumble

04:56if a defensive player catches a pass thrown by the quarterback they get to keep it then too

05:02that's called an interception

05:05so when you're out there today try not to do either of those things

05:10don't forget those guys in the stripy shirts

05:14they're they're called the officials and they enforce all the rules and regulations

05:18now let's go out there and get them

05:21oh

05:25whoops

05:32whoops
