Thursday Night Football: Colts beat Broncos 12-9 in ugly overtime affair

These games appear to have resembled rugby football. The Roman politician Cicero (106–43 BC) describes the case of a man who was killed whilst having a shave when a ball was kicked into a barber's shop. Roman ball games already knew the air-filled ball, the follis. Episkyros is recognised as an early form of football by FIFA.

King Henry IV of England also presented one of the earliest documented uses of the English word "FOOTBALL", in 1409, when he issued a proclamation forbidding the levying of money for "foteball".

Ray Ruschel is not your average college football player — he's 49 Ruschel is old enough to be his teammates' dad. An Army veteran, who was working nights at a North Dakota sugar beet factory, Ruschel decided to enroll at a junior college and play football.

It’s painful watching him try to throw the ball with terrible velocity. Didn’t they hire somebody to help Hackett with that? George Paton has managed to hire an incompetent head coach, to trade for a past-his-prime QB, and to hand that QB an expensive multiyear contract in one offseason. That trade looks like it could be the biggest fleecing of all time.
