Football = The field of battle where two armies meet to exchange, the tides of war waning back and forth as each defensive gauntlet is passed, one after another, only to be swept back by the opposing forces mere minutes later. The battle plan is laid out before each battle, and every now and then an epic pass is launched over the head of the enemy, only to be snatched by a commrad and run victoriously into the endzone. The line has to work their barbic weight and strength to keep the archer in the back ready to release his arrow at any time, or hand it off to one of the calvary who are led to the end zone by a group of pikeman ready to scewer anyone who gets in the way.
