Bradford attended Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City , where he starred in football , basketball and golf . As a senior quarterback in 2005 , he threw for 2,029 yards and 17 touchdowns in 12 games . Bradford was not highly recruited coming out of high school , but he did receive a scholarship offer from the University of Oklahoma , which he accepted . After a redshirt season in 2006 , Bradford threw for 3,121 yards and 36 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman . In 2008 , Bradford became only the second sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy as he led the highest-scoring offense in NCAA history , throwing for 4,720 yards with 50 touchdowns and just eight interceptions . He again led the nation in passing and also added five rushing touchdowns as the Sooners went 12-1 and advanced to the BCS national title game .

The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football franchise based in Phoenix , Arizona . They compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the National Football Conference ( NFC ) West division . The Cardinals were founded as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898 , and are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States . The Cardinals play their home games at State Farm Stadium , which opened in 2006 and is located in the northwestern suburb of Glendale . The team was established in Chicago in 1898 as an amateur football team and joined the NFL as a charter member on September 17 , 1920 . Along with the Chicago Bears , the club is one of two NFL charter member franchises still in operation since the league 's founding ( the Green Bay Packers were an independent team until they joined the NFL a year after its creation in 1921 ) . The club then moved to St. Louis in 1960 and played in that city through 1987 ( sometimes referred to as the Football Cardinals or the Big Red to avoid confusion with the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball ) . Before the 1988 season , the team moved west to Tempe , Arizona , a college suburb east of Phoenix , and played their home games for the next 18 seasons at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University . In 2006 , the club moved to their current home field in Glendale , although the team 's executive offices and training facility remain in Tempe . The franchise has won two NFL championships , both while it was based in Chicago . The first occurred in 1925 , but is the subject of controversy , with supporters of the Pottsville Maroons believing that Pottsville should have won the title . Their second title , and the first to be won in a championship game , came in 1947 , nearly two decades before the first Super Bowl .

American football , referred to as football in the United States and Canada and also known as gridiron , [ nb 1 ] is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end . The offense , the team with possession of the oval-shaped football , attempts to advance down the field by running with the ball or passing it , while the defense , the team without possession of the ball , aims to stop the offense 's advance and to take control of the ball for themselves . The offense must advance at least ten yards in four downs or plays ; if they fail , they turn over the football to the defense , but if they succeed , they are given a new set of four downs to continue the drive . Points are scored primarily by advancing the ball into the opposing team 's end zone for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the opponent 's goalposts for a field goal . The team with the most points at the end of a game wins . American football evolved in the United States , originating from the sports of soccer and rugby . The first American football match was played on November 6 , 1869 , between two college teams , Rutgers and Princeton , using rules based on the rules of soccer at the time . A set of rule changes drawn up from 1880 onward by Walter Camp , the Father of American Football , established the snap , the line of scrimmage , eleven-player teams , and the concept of downs . Later rule changes legalized the forward pass , created the neutral zone and specified the size and shape of the football . The sport is closely related to Canadian football , which evolved in parallel with and at the same time as the American game ( although their rules were developed independently from that of Camp 's ) . Most of the features that distinguish American football from rugby and soccer are also present in Canadian football . The two sports are considered the primary variants of gridiron football .
The Pro Bowl is the all-star game of the National Football League ( NFL ) . From the merger with the rival American Football League ( AFL ) in 1970 up through 2013 and since 2017 , it is officially called the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl , matching the top players in the American Football Conference ( AFC ) against those in the National Football Conference ( NFC ) . From 2014 through 2016 , the NFL experimented with an unconferenced format , where the teams were selected by two honorary team captains ( who are each in the Hall of Fame ) , instead of selecting players from each conference . The players were picked in a televised schoolyard pick prior to the game . Unlike most major sports leagues , which hold their all-star games roughly midway through their regular seasons , the Pro Bowl is played around the end of the NFL season . The first official Pro Bowl was played in January 1951 , three weeks after the 1950 NFL Championship Game ( between 1939 and 1942 , the NFL experimented with all-star games pitting the league 's champion against a team of all-stars ) . Between 1970 and 2009 , the Pro Bowl was usually held the weekend after the Super Bowl . Since 2010 , it has been played the weekend before the Super Bowl . Players from the two teams competing in the Super Bowl do not participate . For years , the game has suffered from lack of interest due to perceived low quality , with observers and commentators expressing their disfavor with it in its current state . It draws lower TV ratings than regular season NFL games , although the game draws similar ratings to other major all-star games , such as the Major League Baseball All-Star Game . However , the biggest concern of teams is to avoid injuries to the star players .
The Minnesota Vikings are a professional American football team based in Minneapolis , Minnesota . The Vikings joined the National Football League ( NFL ) as an expansion team in 1960 , and first took the field for the 1961 season . The team competes in the National Football Conference ( NFC ) North division . During the 1960s , the Vikings ' record was typical for an expansion franchise , but improved over the course of the decade , resulting in a Central Division title in 1968 . In 1969 , their dominant defense led to the Vikings ' league championship , the last NFL championship prior to the merger of the NFL with the AFL . The team plays its home games at U.S. Bank Stadium in the Downtown East section of Minneapolis .

The team have won nine World Series championships , tied for the third-most of any MLB team , and they have played in 13 . Their most recent World Series appearance and win was in 2018 . In addition , they won the 1904 American League pennant , but were not able to defend their 1903 World Series championship when the New York Giants refused to participate in the 1904 World Series . Founded in 1901 as one of the American League 's eight charter franchises , the Red Sox ' home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912 . The Red Sox name was chosen by the team owner , John I. Taylor , circa 1908 , following the lead of previous teams that had been known as the Boston Red Stockings , including the forerunner of the Atlanta Braves . The Red Sox were a dominant team in the new league , defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903 and winning four more championships by 1918 . However , they then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history , dubbed the Curse of the Bambino after its alleged inception due to the Red Sox ' sale of Babe Ruth to the rival New York Yankees two years after their world championship in 1918 , an 86-year wait before the team 's sixth World Championship in 2004 . The team 's history during that period was punctuated with some of the most memorable moments in World Series history , including Enos Slaughter 's mad dash in 1946 , the Impossible Dream of 1967 , Carlton Fisk 's home run in 1975 , and Bill Buckner 's error in 1986 . Following their victory in the 2018 World Series , they became the first team to win four World Series trophies in the 21st century , with championships in 2004 , 2007 , 2013 and 2018 . The team 's history has also been marked by the team 's intense rivalry with the New York Yankees , arguably the fiercest and most historic in North American professional sports .

Esports ( also known as electronic sports , e-sports , or eSports ) is a form of sport competition using video games . Esports often takes the form of organized , multiplayer video game competitions , particularly between professional players , individually or as teams . Although organized competitions have long been a part of video game culture , these were largely between amateurs until the late 2000s , when participation by professional gamers and spectatorship in these events through live streaming saw a large surge in popularity . By the 2010s , esports was a significant factor in the video game industry , with many game developers actively designing and providing funding for tournaments and other events . The most common video game genres associated with esports are multiplayer online battle arena ( MOBA ) , first-person shooter ( FPS ) , fighting , card games , battle royales , and real-time strategy ( RTS ) . Popular esport franchises include League of Legends , Dota , Counter-Strike , Overwatch , Super Smash Bros. , and StarCraft , among many others . Tournaments such as the League of Legends World Championship , Dota 2 's International , and the fighting game-specific Evolution Championship Series ( EVO ) and Intel Extreme Masters are among the most popular in esports . Many other competitions use a series of league play with sponsored teams , such as the Overwatch League . Although the legitimacy of esports as a true sporting competition remains in question , they have been featured alongside traditional sports in some multinational events in Asia , with the International Olympic Committee also having discussed their inclusion into future Olympic events . By the late 2010s , it was estimated that the total audience of esports would grow to 454 million viewers , with revenue increasing to over US $ 1 billion . The increasing availability of online streaming media platforms , particularly YouTube and Twitch , have become central to the growth and promotion of esports competitions . Despite viewership being approximately 85% male and 15% female , with a majority of viewers between the ages of 18 and 34 , female gamers have also played professionally .
The Guitar Hero series ( sometimes referred to as the Hero series ) is a series of music rhythm games first published in 2005 by RedOctane and Harmonix , and distributed by Activision , in which players use a guitar-shaped game controller to simulate playing lead , bass guitar , and rhythm guitar across numerous rock music songs . Players match notes that scroll on-screen to colored fret buttons on the controller , strumming the controller in time to the music in order to score points , and keep the virtual audience excited . The games attempt to mimic many features of playing a real guitar , including the use of fast-fingering hammer-ons and pull-offs and the use of the whammy bar to alter the pitch of notes . Most games support single player modes , typically a Career mode to play through all the songs in the game , and both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes . With the introduction of Guitar Hero World Tour in 2008 , the game includes support for a four-player band including vocals and drums . The series initially used mostly cover versions of songs created by WaveGroup Sound , but most recent titles feature soundtracks that are fully master recordings , and in some cases , special re-recordings , of the songs . Later titles in the series feature support for downloadable content in the form of new songs . In 2005 , RedOctane , a company specializing in the manufacture of unique game controllers , was inspired to create Guitar Hero based on RedOctane 's experience creating hardware for Konami 's Guitar Freaks arcade game . They enlisted Harmonix , who previously developed several music video games , for development assistance . The first game in the series was made on a budget of $ 1 million . The series became extremely successful , leading to the acquisition of RedOctane by Activision in 2007 . Harmonix was acquired by MTV Games and went on to create the Rock Band series of music games in the same vein as Guitar Hero .
Dance Dance Revolution ( ダンスダンスレボリューション , Dansu Dansu Reboryūshon ) ( DDR ) , also known as Dancing Stage in earlier games in Europe , Central Asia , Middle East , Africa , South Asia and Oceania , and also some other games in Japan , is a music video game series produced by Konami . Introduced in Japan in 1998 as part of the Bemani series , and released in North America and Europe in 1999 , Dance Dance Revolution is the pioneering series of the rhythm and dance genre in video games . Players stand on a dance platform or stage and hit colored arrows laid out in a cross with their feet to musical and visual cues . Players are judged by how well they time their dance to the patterns presented to them and are allowed to choose more music to play to if they receive a passing score . Dance Dance Revolution has been met with critical acclaim for its originality and stamina in the video game market . There have been dozens of arcade-based releases across several countries and hundreds of home video game console releases , promoting a music library of original songs produced by Konami 's in-house artists and an eclectic set of licensed music from many different genres . The game is also known for its passionate fanbase , as well as its growing competitive tournament scene . The DDR series has also inspired similar games such as Pump it Up by Andamiro and In the Groove by Roxor Games . The series ' current version is Dance Dance Revolution A20 , released in 2019 .
