Football has tried to supplant baseball as America's game and has come close to doing so quite a few times. Football has grown into one of the most popular sports in the country today. It is evidenced by the popularity of high school football and college football along with professional football.

High school football all-star games are aired on television each year so college football fans can see what the high school players will be doing for their favorite college team in the coming year or two.

College football is aired on television four days a week and is followed closely by millions of students and alums nationwide. The culmination of the college football season is the Bowl Championship Series, which includes the naming of the National Champion, and the naming of the Heisman Trophy winner. The Heisman Trophy is a yearly award given to the best player in the college football ranks for that particular season.

Jumping from high school and college football to professional football. The NFL is a league of teams divided into two conferences; the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Pro football is run by a commissioner and a player's union just like the three other major sports. Games are played on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays.

Watching football with family and friends has been a tradition throughout the past handful of decades. The most important game of the season is the Super Bowl; watched by millions of viewers worldwide. The Super Bowl is the crowning moment of the season, when two of the league's top teams compete in the final game of the season for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. Once the final seconds tick off the clock a new champion is crowned.
