Football is one of the most popular sports around the world. Countless people love to watch this game while many love to play it. Just like all sports, there is some protective gear required in this game as well. Football helmets are very essential equipment which helps you to protect your head from any head injuries. Since this games exposes the players to a lot of such like perils, there have been certain standards for football equipment which have been established for the safety of the players.

Here are some aspects which have to e considered when you have to make use of a football helmet:

1. 1. First of all, your football helmet must fit you properly. The edge of the helmet must be one inch above your eyebrows. It should not be too tight or too lose so that it comfortably fits on your head. You should make sure that the fitting should be such that when you use your football helmet it does not obstruct the easy movement of your head. You should check the inserts of he helmets available. As they are available in several shapes and sizes, you should go for the one which fits you best.
2. 2. The air system is an essential aspect when you have to buy a football helmet. It provides good distance between the helmet shell and your head. As a result you get more impact assimilation by means of proper air system.
3. 3. Then you need to look into padding. The football has padding in several pieces such as the back padding, neck padding, side padding etc. the kind ad thickness of the padding various from helmet to helmet. You should settle for the one with prophet thickness and fitting for your head.
4. 4. Chin straps are another aspect you need to look into. They are basically designed to keep the helmet in place. You ca find standard chin strap while if someone as additional requirement, he can get different chin straps to suit his needs.
5. 5. Face masks are also something you need to check for your football helmet. Generally they are available in two types: the open cage and closed cage. The kind of face mask you should get depends on your position and the type of protection that you require.
6. 6. The material of the helmet is another thin which needs your attention. Normally the outer shell is made of ABS plastic. This material is very good as it can absorb shocks.
7. 7. Price is another factor which you need to attend to while buying a football helmet. Nevertheless, you must always look for protection as the first factor and go for the high quality helmets as nothing is more important than safeguarding your brain.

I'm British. I love American Football in the NFL. I have only just started watching it, however. I'd really like to know some of the basic fouls or flags that are commonly involved. I keep seeing things like "holding", "illegal snap", "face mask contact" etc. Please can someone explain the basic flags (not just those three please.

Here you go my British friend. This should explain what you're looking for.

The Mask $9.01 Also known as Eyes of Hell, The Mask, is an inexpensive Canadian horror film is distinguished by a gimmick which relies upon full-audience cooperation. Anticipating Jim Carrey by 30 years, Paul Stevens comes into possession of an ancient mask which harbors Strange Powers. When Stevens places the mask over his face, the line "Put your mask on now" is supposed to cue the audience to don their 3-D glasses -- whereupon both Stevens and the audience experience a series of hallucinatory images. The major difference is that Stevens' hallucinations give him the urge to kill; it is hoped that the audience will not follow suit. In the early 1980s, a restored stereoscopic version of The Eyes of Hell was released to television in tandem with a pair of 3-D Three Stooges shorts, Spooks (1953) and Pardon My Backfire (1953). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
