American football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each, on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The objective is to advance the ball into the opposing team's end zone by either carrying it or throwing it, scoring points in the process. Teams have four downs, or chances, to advance the ball at least 10 yards; if successful, they retain possession, otherwise, the opposing team gains possession. Defense aims to stop the offense from scoring by tackling players or intercepting passes. The game is divided into four quarters, and the team with the most points at the end wins.

Is your mailing address accurate?
i must admit that i love how Canada and the US both agree football is good and thanksgiving is a holiday........ but we cannot agree on the finer details like the rules of football or the date of thanksgiving 😊
It's more of a national neurological health crisis PR wash, but ok. Hand egg for anyone that wants it!
About the apple ad... anyone ever thought of revisiting it with Putin's face on the screen instead ?
American football: the game goes on forever because they periodically stop the game for the benefit of TV commercials and the last two minutes of the game take 20 minutes and are interminable.
Watch European football
American football is a series of television commercials occasionally interrupted by 22 men performing a violent ballet.
Couldn’t have put it better myself 🇺🇸🦅
That's what I'm saying, haha.
Violent ballet, AKA a bunch of millionaires fighting over a not-ball-shaped ball.
Go to a college game or a high school game then.
Wasn’t that part of Carlin’s bit?
My buddy managed to explain it in about twelve seconds. Football (Soccer) is a Real Time Strategy game. American Football is a Turn Based Strategy game. 😝
You can’t just kick it out of bounds to run the clock in American football at least
@@NoPe-no4snDon't try to act like running down the clock isn't a stupid part of American football
@@theeyehead3437 I guess both plays are pretty similar, and you can’t really stop it from happening without fundamentally changing the sport. You can’t just pass the ball around to kill time in American football at least.
@@theeyehead3437Stupid?! Unless you've talking about something else, clock management is an integral part of football strategy. Intentionally playing slow and running down the clock involves some serious thought and planning.
You don't have to like it, but you can't deny it's part of football's identity just as much as the forward pass is.
We call it american rugby, because its closer to rugby than to football and it avoids confusion.
4 15 minutes quarters that take an hour each to play when televised
Yep, and if you edit it down there is only 15 to 20 minutes of actual football.
@@markmitchell4571 hour of football with 2 hours of stoppage time or commercials
@@markmitchell457nothing better than being on that field yourself. I played for 2 years in school. It makes those 4 hours much more enjoyable. But yeah watching it for 4 hours is kinda repetitive if they aren’t playing good. But like that vibe you feel after church on a Sunday afternoon watching the game, eating lunch and doing laundry that just is something else.
Bro doing laundry after church is mad relatable@@gamingwithmndandlnd4952
When I was in college, I had a roommate studying physical education. One day, I came to room said what's up man, how was your day. He said "Who are you?" It took us 2 days to figure out that he had played American football and hit his head. We reinstalled his entire life and identity like a pirated software with lots of bugs and glitches.
LMAO tell me more
Good writing. Ala Steven Hunter.
Go see a doctor?
Then how did he remember the path to room🤔
@@ashutoshsharma4797that was part of the main menu. He just forgot game save files.
I'm Polish and I watched the Superbowl for the first time, it was transmitted in the polish TV by Polsat and to be honest I really liked it. I didn't understand rules when I watched the 1st quater but after a bit I got overall idea of them. Damn 49ers were so close to win but they got really tired at the end.
@@colinlarson9656 Fakest?
@@colinlarson9656 Więc twierdzisz że nie jestem polakiem? Chyba cie popierdoliło jełopie XD. A to że mam insygnia sierżanta to nie znaczy że tzw. "skradłem waleczność". Grałem dużo w Coda więc zawsze sierżant dowodził i tak sie te insygnia wzięły.
Bro for real I was so mad the swifties took another. But cj stroud and the Houston Texans will save us next year
@@SgtLubasz sorry, I was trying to make a drunken joke. The 49ers always beat my Chargers. Growing up with them and the Padres as my only two sports teams will make you bitter.
Stick to it! there are so many nuances to the game I still discover even after watching over 20 years.
I like George carlins explanation better. “The quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, marches his troops into enemy territory, in spite of the blitz even if he has to use the shotgun!”
Oh your underselling it that final line of that rant is gold.
As opposed to baseball where you just have to go home and be safe
Was it Carlin that said something about the quarterback making a pass at a tight end in an attempt to penetrate and score (wink-wink)?
Carlin: Football is the Europe game ... "Let's take their f'ing land!"
Football is played in the fall… when everything is DYING
Excellent video and great job of explaining American football. I'm sure it will help those who need a primer on the game.
This is a much needed service to the rest of the world that is subjected to this game once a year
American football was an offshoot of rugby and association football from the UK. We changed rules etc. and came up with a similar, but different game. I played both rugby and football when I was young. A player can figure out the basics of the other game pretty quickly. Aussie football is fun for me to watch - that dude in the suit cracks me up!
I watched ARF late at night in the 90’s. So much so that I actually started to fully understand what was going on. Fun watching that.
"Association football" or just "football", is called "soccer" in the US, Japan, and maybe a couple other countries. For some reason people worldwide think "soccer" is a funny American name to the sport of "futbol", but it's actually an English name that the Brits abandoned-- it was a slang word that abbreviated "association".
"Gridiron" instead of "pitch" is all on us, though. 😅Though to be fair, I'm sure a lot of Americans said, "Why 'pitch'? The grass ain't black and sticky, and we ain't throwin' it."
@@MMuraseofSandvichAustralians also calls it soccer.
American football isn't connected to association football, instead it's rugby and some other football codes.
Back in the day most schools had their own unique football codes. Many of them were more like rugby than soccer. Football refers to the games being played on foot, unlike polo.
As an American Western Bulldogs fan, Aussie rules footy is the best sport on earth.
Did I just see a "bouquet toss" for a 2-point conversation attempt? 3:15 😂
I honestly love the decision to focus on utterly insane college and HS football in most of these clips. It really highlights why you can fall in love with this sport even if you don't have a major league team to root for.
@@thecactusman17 yep. Those were some good times.
one of the only places you can witness a guy that weighs 300lbs run 40 yards in less than 5 seconds...
A very good explanation. Thanks
Thanks so much this was very helpful newbie here😊❤
Football is a game of ever increasing precision. First it was considered a game of yards. Then it was a game of feet. Now it's called a game of inches. Currently, if commentators want to exaggerate about how close a play is when they watch it on replay, they unironically call it a game of millimeters, because metric.
I just hope no one tries a dropkick, or else everyone is going to be confused, and not just Ryan McBeth viewers.
Wasn't Doug Flutie the last guy to pull off one of those?
I’m in the UK, it’s 11:20pm, I have no idea what’s happening but the SuperBowl is on tv… this video was very much needed and very well received.. Thankyou good sir
UK football fan here. I'm going to be so tired tomorrow.
What is your favorite team?
@@Johnny-bm7ry FSU fan since I was 14. Packers since 16. I'm 40 now. Have to admit that I'm a little disappointed this season. Who do you root for?
@@neverstop117go bears
Fun fact: poice and first responders often put extra staff on tonight bcause the end of the Super Bowl is often the highest domestic violence time in the US. I've done EMS on Sundays for 9 years and have never been able to watch the end of the game because we're always called out on an assault call.
Troll
its one of the slowest days of the year for us in the ED, not sure how it is after I leave at 1900, for the overnighters, but during the day it is a steady draw down of our typical 50% malingerers that we get normally, with mostly just actually sick people.
Very simple and useful
At least Europe and America can agree on the number of players
As I understand it, Harvard invited McGill to play a game of football, but when the McGill team arrived the two schools realized they were using the same name for two different games. The Harvard team was expecting to play soccer, and the McGill team was expecting to play rugby.
The game was played with one half of each, and American football was adapted from the weird hybrid rugby rules Harvard knew.
Mr. McBeth, thanks bud.
Late comment but wanted to say I played ball in college and this is a great intro to american football for non-americans. Thanks for putting it together because I suck at explaining the basics of football so ill be referencing this from now on lol
Only note is the offensive line generally just blocks other players but its fair to leave that out for simplicity. Also funny to see a 3-4 given as the example defense but nothing wrong with it
Not a bad breakdown. I would have also mentioned the second-most important rule infraction, false starts. I was rooting for the Niners but if there was a definition of how intense and exciting a Super Bowl can be, this year's was an excellent example with such a closely scored game up until the final play.
This is what i needed, i enjoyed watching it even without knowing what was going on
Awesome. Now can we has explainer for cricket?
I was thinking this while watching the video. I have no clue what the hell those cricket people are doing. 😂
Like baseball, but worse.
No, he only does games invented in Canada. Football, Hockey, Lacrosse, Basketball
Cricket is like curling, no one truly understands it
@@NavDDG54Do you actually think that Cricket and Curling are difficult to understand? 🥴
Yeah it is kinda like the defensive line are the offense and the offensive line are the defenders. That makes sense.
That was helpful to me as an American, too, who only go interested in football when the Lions finally got close this year. 😢
Lions should have been there. 🙁
I was really hoping they’d make it. I’m a Chiefs fan, but I spent many years in Michigan & they’ve always been a sentimental favorite of mine. I figured if the Lions won, I wouldn’t feel so bad about KC losing.
I was hoping they would make for the old man on deaths door that's a superfan from Detroit. I'm from Dallas and same old same old for us. Almost always make it. Almost always out the 1st game.
I'm in New Zealand and we love Rugby. But I remember as a kid at school that after ever superbowl we would play American football for a week before going back to Rugby. Same with Aussie rules.
Well i gotta say this is a pretty good description of football to someone who doesn't onow the game and kust wants to enjoy watching one or two games.
Well, yes, you did do a 5 minute vid on American Football. Frankly, you should have done a 50 minute vid. It really isn't possible to understand (and appreciate) American rules football in just 5 freakin' minutes. Way too much tactics, strategy, brute blunt force vs finesse, position vs position (receivers vs D backs, etc.).
Oh, and then there's the Offense deceiving the opposing defense. Or... the Defense deceiving the Offense. It gets real complicated.
We Americans like taking that which is simple (ME MOVE BALL FORWARD!!!) and making it complex and incompressible. It's our thing, and we like it.
We had an American teacher in the 70s try to teach us how to play American football once, within half an hour we were punting the ball end to end. That little ball was so easy to kick.
American Football is 60 million people who need exercise watching 22 people who don't.
That’s literally every sport 💀
I love how the running and full backs were completely ignored. That’s the correct interpretation of modern football.
Seeing my brother play tomorrow and I wanted to be supportive 😭
Tabletop Classic "Blood Bowl"
You do such a good job presenting material that even though I am in the US, I watched this anyway.
Same here 😂
Hell yeah Ryan, feed that algorithm 😊
Superbowl exists purely so we in Europe can finally enjoy some NHL hockey at a reasonable time, without staying up until 4 am. Go Habs Go!
Don't forget daytime NBA games, so (for once) we can watch without losing sleep...
When I was learning the rules of football, the notion of a "first down" was confusing to me in how it is used in multiple contexts. There is a "first down line", penalties can get you a "first down", you can run a play that gives you a "first down" and "first down" is the first play you run. "first down" is referencing both a play that results in resetting the number of plays back to 1 as well as the game state of having the number of plays being 1. It makes total sense once you understand it but it sounds strange the way it is talked about in conversation.

My guy got FLATTENED.
Good lord.
Superball Übertragung in Deutschland ist ohne US Werbung. Die Lücken werden im deutschen Fernsehen (RTL) mit viel Wischi Waschi überbrückt. Ich habe trotzdem bis zum Schluss zugesehen und die Overtime war das beste im ganzen Spiel. Wie hier mit den Sekunden und Möglichkeiten gerechnet wurde, hat irgentwie an Schach erinnert. 3 Sekunden Rest 1 Wurf Super Ergebniss für Kansas Ryan ~ American Football Explained ~ Note 1
120yard long field. 100yards of field and 2-10yard end zones.
This sounds like Blernsball from Futurama
I can explain American football. 6 seconds per play and after every 5 or so plays there are ads. Lots of ads mean you are going to the fridge a lot because you are bored waiting for the play. 300 pounds or so later the game ends after a few controversial calls. Game over. Heroes are made.
Well done McBeth! Captured the essence in four minutes.
remember when super bowl commercials were amazing
These are arguably my favorite videos of yours because i just like how you analyze topics. Here is a topic i know a lot about, but its still enjoyable to see how you analyze, explain and simplify. Same with your cooking videos.
Also, when are we getting your "if you were the wizards gm for a day" video? That might have to go on substack, not safe for youtube.
It's America's version of Rugby.
i am not from the USA and i am one who is fan of ww2 air combat. i see american football as ww2 air combat. imaging that player who carring ball (bomb)as b-17. Team mates are p51 which protecting b-17 from opponents who tries tackle is german interceptors like fw-190 or bf-109
As an European, all I know about American football...
in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk high school Panthers.
Once again, I watched the game for the commercials & was not disappointed. (unlike our MN Vikings)
From Europe it looks like Rugby played in armour with breaks for the adverts.
American Football is basically trench warfare represented in a game. Its why you'll hear Football and military terminology used interchangeably in both fields.
One can learn a lot about National Character by the sports a country loves most. Ours are Football and Baseball. Baseball explains how we love to manage things through data; see also, The American System of Manufacturing. Football is a violent, stand toe to toe sport, with maneuver, sport: if you meet us in a stand up fight, we will break you.
Even after this video, i still don't understand this game...
Check Out George Carlin's Stand Up Comedy Routine
About Football( American ) VS Baseball 😏
Super Ball? The bowls of steel! I feel so american now!
I am the guy who mostly watches for the commercials. 😎
Rugby crossed with bureaucracy.....
Pic at 0:22 is soooo cursed
Ryan … good job … but running backs aren’t receivers. They are a critical part of the offense. For that you get a 10point deduction… solid B performance
but ryan, you need to explain to them the nuances of defensive coverage and blitz percentages and quarterback reads!!!!
Don't forget the 12th Man! Go Seahawks!
Outside of Canada the 12th man is typically found in Seattle or College Station, TX.
@@kurtisokc
......
hence the "Go Seahawks!"?
Welcome back. We were getting worried as we haven't heard from you in a while. I hope all is well.
Regarding the part about the culmination of the sport at the 40 second mark, you pronounced "The National Championship Game" slightly incorrectly.
Great video for newbs I’m going to send it to my mom.
Thx for the explanation!
U forgot to talk abt the half time show
let's be real who actually enjoys watching grown men pile on each other for 11 minutes out of a 3 hour game 😂
Me. Definitely me, lol
It’s better then players diving to the ground like they were shot when someone bumps them
@@NoPe-no4snit isn’t though
Your voice is so soothing!
My mind wandered a bit and next thing I know, he’s taking about Apple computers 😂
You forgot the part where the referee's throw flags to ensure Vegas wins and they distract everyone by showing Taylor Swift..
Extremely complicated for the first time watcher.
It's true, here in Germany we have watched it for the commercials a couple of times as well, lol.
While we stuffed ourselves with Donuts and other American delicacies. (And yes I know "the story of the donut" lol.)
The JFK jelly doughnut one speach? Man, last time I cracked that old joke here on YT I got hit by a stuffy German. But if that be the case of the one you are talking about, it is good to know some of you get it. 😁
Not quite sure if I got that, but all the power to you haha! @@TheBearInTheChair
Coukd tou explain why noone will explain Kissinger and Associates put Putin in? Who was Heinz Kissinger?
Which is silly mid off though?
American Football, another invention from 🇨🇦 , before that football was just soccer in 🇺🇸
When you mention if you are watching from Europe you put an image with four Asian people, the correct way was to put four Arabian people! 😊
Never heard before of superbowl and it sounds like superblow.
Secondly, use metric system to explain it.
It's like rugby.
You have 4 tries to move the ball 10 yards.
What is this business about the quarterback calling the plays?
Thanks so much for explaining this to the coaching staff of the Miami Dolphins.
Great Canadian invention.
CFL has slightly different rules. Canadian field is 110 yards long, 65 yards wide and end zones are 35 yards deep.
The real stupor bowl winners are the ones not watching.
And I thought tennis rules and love-15-40 was dumb
Thank you very much. I am French and I know a little bit better.
You're only 37 years too late with this video for me! In 1987 I was a plebe at the US Military Academy, and being a first generation Italian-American from a poor family that only had time for work (not sports), I had absolutely NO IDEA what was going on when we watched the Army team at Michie Stadium. It took me the entire semester to figure it out!
"Some images were generated by AI"
0:20 noooo, you don't say
American football should be called american rugby, a sport that it actually related to.
Rugby is called football too dude. That is why American football is not called americam rugby. American football evolved from Rugby and soccer
Up to highschool football it's not uncommon for a player to both offense and defense but usually by college it's rare to have a two way player, special teams is compromised of both offense and defensive players
I propose that, to be consistent with international nomenclature, where “ football “ is a sport that involves balls and feet, that you rename your sport to “ bodyball”, since you can use whatever part of the body you want to move the ball and the body is so directly involved. ;)
The only English speaking country that calls Association Football “Football” is the UK. Canada, South Africa, Australia, the United States, New Zealand and Ireland all call it “Soccer”. Japan also calls it “Soccer”.
Italians call it “Calcio”.
Would love to see a collector's edition of the inaction figure ....with detachable arm.
Funny. Wash't funny when It happened, but funny.
Nothing of this had to do with Taylor Swift, I call misinformation.
taylor swift is the greatest wide receiver of all time
From European perspective here is a joke calling American Football a HandEgg. LOL
Me as European was awake until 5 am local time to watch a sport I didn’t even understand, but it was fun to watch. Wish the 49ers won since I hate Taylor Swift.
Bro you simply rock…just turned on the game but had no idea about it, your video came in as the perfect short intro…thanks and bless you!
Glad I could help

I suspect this makes less sense than cricket or rugby, but I don’t want to check.
