It Hurts More Than Protects
a: Football helmet ~
b: boxing glove
What: "A football helmet is like a boxing glove; it serves a different role in practice than it does in theory...Theoretically speaking, boxing gloves protect the guy being punched and make the sport safer than bare-knuckle brawling."

Optimal Offensive Football Stratey
a: Optimal football strategy ~
b: rule of thirds
What: Football strategy can be lumped into 3 manageable chunks. The run, the pass and the ambiguous middle where a play can be a run or a short pass, most likely to the Tight End. From my limited observations, winning teams have employed the middle effectively. The ambiguity of the Tight End offense creates confusion for the defense. You have a player that can block, run with the ball or receive a pass. So here you have a rule of thirds within a rule of thirds. 2 Notable examples: Brent Jones of the SF Forty-Niners and Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots.

a: National football league stadium strategy ~
b: A sliding tile puzzle
What: The NFL has been very successful over the past decade or so in convincing local government to pony up large amounts of local public money to pay for stadium in which they are often a major financial beneficiary. How is this done? Well, ask yourself, "Why doesn't Los Angeles have a football team?" Quite simply it is an empty space, The LA Coliseum, in a sliding tile puzzle game into which any local government can have their team slid into if they don't cooperate in building a new stadium. It's a simple yet effective tactic. They are playing cities against each other.
