Less then 24 hours to go before the start of the season. Anyone who is passing through here is more than welcome to participate in JPB's mindless game where knowledge of football is NOT needed! Just indicate which team you think will win each of the games (16 of them) and predict the total number of points that will be scored by the two teams combined in the AZ - SF game. Pretty simple, eh?

are you ready for some football?
Region: great graphics display.
Everyone: Here's a potential brainteaser regarding that image:
Was the football thrown by a right or lefty (assume you are not looking at reversed through mirror or vid-camera)?
Lefty, of course. If it was a righty, the ball would be spinning clockwise.
Cycloptichorn
Well done..quite correct, but ... as it's shown here the ball IS spinning clockwise as it's coming toward us.
Did you mean counter-clockwise if it was thrown by a righty?
You are messing with our heads, Professor Ragman, up there in Albany. A pass from a right-handed QB would be spinning clockwise in his eyes, The receiver, if he was facing the QB, would see it coming as counter-clockwise.
I think.
Hmmm. I agree a righty throws clockwise from his eyes, but I've rarely thrown a football. Once in a while, though. Well, whatever, great graphic.
correct..it depends on whether receiving or throwing. ...viewing perspective. Maybe I muddied that?
I'd have to go back and review it. Time out!!

Well, I was looking at it from the thrower's perspective. Good little riddle, though - the flame trail is the giveaway, denoting direction.
Cycloptichorn
Yes, that was part of the observation...the indication of a direction (vector)
I failed physics in high school. So I know nothing. But I was good in writing and economics.
Are yall ready for some football?
I nearly failed physics in university (put it off until I was a senior senior), hadn't taken it in high school. Damned girls' school. I was one of only two in a class of, say, 250, that hadn't had physics in high school. The other poor soul probably dropped it. I knew I was in trouble when the prof started in about vectors, whazzat?
Well, hey, sometimes I'm poetic about things like flights of footballs.
Game time...
