Football **(The Playing Pigskin)**, formerly known as "Dead Football" up to his near-death experience, is a male contestant competing on Objects At Gaming. He was on Team Birthday Party and made the merge in At The Turning Point.

## Appearance

Football is made of pigskin, but due to one of his backstories, a knife got stuck inside him, and maroon color was tattooed on him.

In Bittersweet Tragedy, Wrenchy pulled the knife off his head, deflating him.

In A Fresh New And Looney Legacy, the doctors and nurses successfully recovered him from his injuries and as of now, he wears a dark red top hat over a green patch over his stitches.

## Personality

Innocent and energetic, Football is a gamer for life, constantly gaming in his free time when he's by himself. He has a very close bond with Toilet Paper (his best bro) and Cookie (his closest female friend whom he might have feelings for). Football is very kind and very loyal to his friends and teammates.

Though he does have his happy moments, Football is an emotional contestant as well. He worries about his vulnerability to the mean contestants, and had a noticeable weakness, hence his former alias "**Dead Football**", which the backstory was revealed in In The Heat Of Battle. He also fears that his mere presence on the team is a potential downfall.

## Coverage

### Day One Of Fun

Football is one of the first contestants introduced. He wins a round in a video game against his best bro Toilet Paper. TP starts feeling down about himself due to his loss, so he, along with his other best friend Cookie, make him feel better. Football was very excited to join Red's competition. He was chosen for Pinata's team, Team Birthday Party. He tried letting his team know about his slow run speed, but got lots of support from his team to at least give it a go. As Football approached the finish line, he faceplanted into a glass wall, as added by Broccoli. This caused him to lose the challenge.

### Testing the Plan

Football was super sad about his performance last episode, he even teared up because he got toyed with. He told his alliance about it and they were understanding and caring. Cookie and Toilet Paper gave lots of support to Football regarding what happened and explained that Broccoli might be eliminated because of what happened. He thanked his alliance and shared a hug with Cookie. A left out Toilet Paper requested one as well, only to get a single high five instead. At elimination, Football was announced safe, and pretty early as well. He was a bit worried about his team's arguing potentially causing the team's loss. However, fellow teammate and bro Toilet Paper caught a cheater towards their team, making Football's team win and avoid elimination.

### In The Heat Of Battle

Football got a lot of spotlight this episode. He told Spaghetti all about his strange appearance and how it came to be. He told him that his father was a professional knife thrower, took him to his contests, and one day he took a knife to the top of his head from his opponent accidentally. He can't remove or touch it because his foot would kick out unpredictably and he could deflate and die if it gets pulled out of him. None of his allies know about the situation, but Spaghetti agreed to be aware of the situation. Wrenchy unfortunately overheard the conversation. Football gave the strategy to go with the tall sandcastle and later on add stronger touch ups. He got very tired by the end of the original castle's lifespan. This is because Wrenchy made his way to him, touched the knife, and made him kick the castle down. Football tried his best to explain what happened and how his knife made him do it. Spaghetti backed him up. Cookie and Toilet Paper made him feel better during their brand new castle's presentation. His team won the challenge thanks to Spaghetti's very smart idea to build a second castle in case the first one got taken down.

### Depths Of The Diamond

Football went by himself in the challenge because he didn't want to be attacked by Wrenchy again and cause his team to lose. However, Wrenchy did in fact find him and chased him down. He once again tripped on the ground. Cookie came over and comforted him, promising to protect him from any danger. Feeling much better, he thanked her and the two hugged for the second time. He was very proud of Toilet Paper, his bro, for winning the challenge for the team.

### Ring The Bells Of The Seven Seas

Feeling huge relief that he didn't have to deal with Wrenchy during the challenge, the good feelings would die down as Wrenchy literally swims to their island, frightening Football. However, as Wrenchy gets thrown into the air and launched back to his own island, Football's positive energy resurged and got to finally compete in peace. Toilet Paper would instead encourage him to sit back, relax, and enjoy himself as he did the challenge for his team. Initially unsure about how to spend the time, Cookie made silly faces at Football, causing him to laugh. His team would end up winning the challenge.

### Rubik's Algorithm Antics

Football became eligible to compete in the Rubik's cube challenge. He completed it relatively quickly, only for it to be messed with and incomplete again by Wrenchy, in which Football didn't notice. During this time, Football tried to hold Cookie's hand, but ended up reluctant, but TP noticed. When he DID find out that his cube was tampered with, Football got shocked and had a meltdown about his impact on his team's loss again, even if it never was his actual fault. He fears that he might get out next. Pink Sunglasses made the situation worse when he snapped out at him.

### Here For Our Host

Football didn't have much of a role during the challenge, but he hyped up Pinata when she was a little nervous about the canvas, and gave her and Spaghetti all the credit during the presentation. Pink Sunglasses later went and apologized to Football initially for calling him names last challenge. During the elimination, due to how hurt and harassed he was during the challenge, he won the prize vote, to his and TP's extraordinary delight. Red signed him up for the Objects E-Sports Gaming League after the show would be over, and he was eventually safe from elimination. Now while he would've been relieved that Pink Sunglasses was eliminated, he apologized again to him and the team for calling him names and snapping out at him during the last challenge.

### Bittersweet Tragedy

Football felt nervous playing football for the challenge. A minor reason was his own object structure, he didn't want to be thrown. The major reason was because of Wrenchy possibly killing him on the field rather than what was intended, light tags. Toilet Paper, the quarterback, promised Football for real, he would be the winning catch. When he got the opportunity, he was forced in a scenario to run for his life from Wrenchy. Unfortunately, it was too late. Kicking his leg intensely, Wrenchy plucked the knife from his head, deflating Football and he appeared to be deceased to his horrified teammates. When the doctor arrived, he promised that he would be taken care of in the hospital and possibly woken up again, but it was not a guaranteed recovery. Cookie and TP, his closest allies, went with to help.

### A Fresh New And Looney Legacy

Football has woken up in the hospital, successfully recovered after his injury. He returns to the mainland with his alliance and reunites with his team, as he gets the good news that Wrenchy will never bother him ever again.

### Inconceivable Flags And Fantasy

For the second time in a row for him, Football wins the prize. However, since the prize results for him (and Blueprint) have usually been in their favor, he decides to take immunity next elimination in exchange for a new prize winner next elimination. For the themed capture the flag challenge, him and Toilet Paper play knights trying to take the flag. They are granted speed boosts by wizard Illuminati, although the powers end up wearing off after a bit. A second attempt sees them getting the flag, but Toilet Paper ends up getting tagged, causing Football's team to be UFE again.

### At The Turning Point

Football had a moment with Cookie during the early merge. He told her that she did perfectly okay in the challenge, and hoped that with the breaktime, it would give everyone, especially Pinata, time to relax and recover from everything that happened so far. Football then was given the ultimate bundle of joy: a funny face, a hug, and even a kiss on the cheek, to Toilet Paper's delight to witness.
