You know, while "handoval" and "handegg" jokes are cute, you have to realize that the sport of American gridiron football bears little resemblance to the original game - where a round ball was used, and the ball could not be picked up and carried. Shockingly, the ball was moved downfield in much the same way as it is in association football (soccer).
The game as it is played today bears only superficial resemblance to how it was when the name originated in the same decade as association football. The games were similar, but diverged greatly.
What the two sports share in common is this: They're both a damn good excuse to drink a metric asston of beer.
