This could certainly use some cleanup. I'll look this over and see if I can make it flow better.-- Wizardman 23:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I trimmed some of the intros as they were way too long. When I archive them (in the next day or two) I'll archive the full versions. Quadzilla99 16:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
The DYK? hooks are at least twice recommended length in each instance, see the main page or any featured portal. Quadzilla99 06:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Basically I feel the article should follow the formats of other featured portals and should follow the guidelines of the main page sections. Also the portal was filled with run-on sentences which need to go. Quadzilla99 17:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
why was rex grossman selected? his playing skills aside, he's not nearly as well-known as someone like manning, tomlinson, or any number of other high profile players. Deutschebag17 05:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Coffin corner (football) has been nominated for a merger into (American football). If other terminology like Squib kick, Fair catch, and even Fair catch kick have their own articles, I suggest Coffin corner (football) has its own article as well. Please vote to oppose the move on Coffin corner (football)'s talk page.

We need an article discussing equipment used by positions.
Linesmen tend to be heavily armored, whereas place kickers wear next to nothing.
I would suggest that this information be incorporated into the American_football_positions article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.219.27.27 ( talk) 15:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello, all!
Please go here for a renewed discussion on relocated sports teams. Thanks! BigSteve ( talk) 15:04, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
I think it would be useful if you put the date of matches on the season articles - for example the giants one - it has the time of the match, but not the date. Yes I know the dates may be listed earlier in the article - but by weeks 15 - 17 you have to scroll up half the article to see them, so I think this would be a good idea to have the dates under the match headers as well. 188.221.79.22 ( talk) 10:20, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I think there are some changes which could be made to this portal, but don't want to step on anyone's toes. It does look like it hasn't been changed in a while, though, but I'll wait a few days before making changes. VictorianMutant ( talk) 20:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
Got rid of "On this day" section because it doesn't really work for a sports portal... there would be a third of the year with nothing happening(sure the NFL draft and college signing days happen in the spring, but aside from birthdays, there's not much). Replaced with "selected term. VictorianMutant ( talk) 22:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
The category by year is sometimes in “Years in American sports” eg Category:2010 in American football (for 2001 to 2010) and sometimes in Years in sports” eg Category:2012 in American football (for 2011-12 & 2000-1999). It should be one or the other; or both - like Canadian football which is in say both 2010 in sports as a major sport and 2010 in Canada as happening there. But as there is a category for Years in American sports, American football should be in that. How about putting each “Year in American football” into both categories?

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

Hey everyone,
the European League of Football is going into its third season and I was wondering, if it is the time to create its own WikiProject or Portal as part of the main American Football portal. Would you agree and do you have recommendations of starting this portal?
Kind thanks in advance.
