Claim a Healthy Guffaw With These Football Funny Moments

Sunday, May 29, 2011

American football can be a very fast and chaotic game. Everyone is running at full speed, colliding, and changing directions, seemingly on a dime.



Piecemealed plays to laughs

  • Accidental kicks of the ball
  • Mad scrambles
  • Bloopers and unexpected miscues


Confusion can arise when players think they still are playing defense when, not seeing the entire playing field, an interception has changed their status into that of an offensive player. Humor can result when players are unaware their status as an offensive or defensive player suddenly has changed. These random events cause some people to consider football funny due to some of the bloopers and unexpected miscues that result.

One of the most common funny football bloopers is the fumble that no one seems able to recover. A fumble is when somebody has possession of the football and, while running or getting tackled, loses control of it. No matter why the fumble occurred, whether heavy physical contact by a defensive player or a simple dropped ball by the offensive player, the ball normally will hit the ground. It now is considered a loose ball, and whoever picks up the ball gets possession of it and a chance to score. So, players from both teams can participate in a mad scramble.

It’s not uncommon for players pursuing possession of fumbles to kick the ball, sending it in unexpected trajectories. At this point in time, control of the lost football can prove elusive, and players from each team might gain control of it on a fleet, temporary basis.

Occasionally, as many as seven players will touch a fumbled football during what, in many instances, are vain attempts to control the ball for their team.
Interceptions are the source of many bloopers when teammates proceed ahead, oblivious to the interception that might have changed the course of the game. Sometimes, one player accidentally can tackle one of his own teammates thinking it’s a player on the other team who has the ball. Such isolated incidents might prove humorous to spectators, yet be sources of aggravation to the players themselves. These types of chaotic bloopers make football funny in addition to making it exciting to watch.
