Here's an idea, its never a good idea to show weakness to ya (especially) teenage kids. Howabout one of you tutor me in the nfl. Like what the actual fuck does 15 and down mean? Why does the toosh push work?
Id never admit it to the boy.
I understand gettin the ball past the try line (touchdown) bit. Goals are self explanatory. But if i knew a fraction of what the hell he is on about i may gain an interest. And sound cool.
What say you? Edjumacate an antipodean why dontcha.

The offense gets 4 tries("downs") to gain 10 yards to earn another set of 4 tries to gain 10 yards. This repeats until the offense scores or gives up the ball via turnover, turnover on downs, or a punt(field position matters strategically).
If it's higher than 10 you lost yardage somehow, whether by being tackled behind the starting line("line of scrimmage", I think you call this a scrum) or a penalty or whatever.
