History of the Buffalo Bills
In the 1962 offseason , Buffalo began to get good players for the first time in franchise history . Jack Kemp was acquired off waivers from the San Diego Chargers after the Chargers thought Kemp , who had led the Chargers to back - to - back AFL title games , had a bum hand . The Bills also drafted Syracuse running back phenomenon Ernie Davis and had a serious chance of getting him to play for Buffalo after the Redskins , a team Davis refused to play for , drafted him ; however , Davis instead opted to play for the NFL after the Redskins traded him to Cleveland , and he died of leukemia before playing a single down of professional football . Instead , the Bills then acquired one of the CFL 's top running backs , Cookie Gilchrist .

2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
The President of the Portuguese Football Federation ( FPF ) , Gilberto Madail , first proposed a joint bid with Spain in November 2007 . The bid intent was confirmed by FIFA president , Sepp Blatter , on 18 February 2008 . However , the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation ( RFEF ) , Angel Villar , announced in July 2008 that it was Spain 's intention to submit an individual World Cup bid , and that positive contacts had already taken place with the government , through the secretary of sports , Jaime Lissavetzky . No specifications were made then regarding a joint bid with Portugal . On 23 November 2008 , after his re-election for the RFEF presidency , Villar pledged that one of the fundamental objectives of his term was to bring a World Cup to Spain . While he did not mention whether Spain would present a joint bid with Portugal , he did not rule it out when asked about it .
2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
Russia announced its intent to bid in early 2009 , and submitted its request to FIFA in time . Russia 's President Vladimir Putin took a keen interest in the bid and ordered Vitaly Mutko , the Minister of Sports , to `` prepare a bid for Russia to hold the 2018 World Cup '' . According to a report earlier submitted by Vitaly Mutko , who also served that time as President of the Russian Football Union ( RFU ) , the country was ready to spend some $10.1 billion on the tournament . The bid committee also included RFU CEO Alexey Sorokin and Alexander Djordjadze as the Director of Bid Planning and Operations .
2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
The British government backed the England 2018 bid . In November 2005 , Chancellor Gordon Brown and Sport Minister Tessa Jowell first announced that they were to investigate the possibility of bidding . That month , Adrian Bevington , the Football Association 's Director of Communications , announced the support of the Government and the Treasury in the bid , but put off definite proposals . Brown reiterated his support for a bid in March 2006 , before England 's 2006 World Cup campaign , and again in May 2006 . The UK government launched its official report on 12 February 2007 , in which it was made clear that its support was for an England - only bid and that all games would be played at English grounds . The venues selected on 16 December 2009 to form the bid were : London ( three stadiums ) , Manchester ( two stadiums ) , Birmingham , Bristol , Leeds , Liverpool , Milton Keynes , Newcastle , Nottingham , Plymouth , Sheffield and Sunderland .

It will also organise and clarify ground - sharing arrangements with other sports and possible compensation for loss of venues .
Peru at the FIFA World Cup
In the Argentina 1978 World Cup , Peru was placed in Group 4 with Scotland , Iran , and the Netherlands . With a midfield identified `` as the best in the world '' by Argentine sports magazine El Gráfico , Peru advanced to the second round as group leaders after defeating Scotland ( 3 -- 1 ) , drawing with the Netherlands ( 0 -- 0 ) , and beating Iran ( 4 -- 1 ) . The second round was divided into two groups , and Peru 's results placed it in Group B with Poland , Brazil , and Argentina . After losing to Brazil ( 0 -- 3 ) and Poland ( 0 -- 1 ) , Peru was practically out of contention despite having one more game to play against Argentina . This last match proved controversial because the Peruvians lost by a margin ( 0 -- 6 ) that allowed Argentina to reach the final instead of Brazil . Rumors circulated that the match had been fixed , but nothing was ever proven .
Waltzing Matilda
Waltzing Matilda was used at the 1974 FIFA World Cup and at the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976 and , as a response to the New Zealand All Blacks haka , it has gained popularity as a sporting anthem for the Australia national rugby union team . It is also performed , along with Advance Australia Fair , at the annual AFL Grand Final .
Football
Public schools ' dominance of sports in the UK began to wane after the Factory Act of 1850 , which significantly increased the recreation time available to working class children . Before 1850 , many British children had to work six days a week , for more than twelve hours a day . From 1850 , they could not work before 6 a.m. ( 7 a.m. in winter ) or after 6 p.m. on weekdays ( 7 p.m. in winter ) ; on Saturdays they had to cease work at 2 p.m. These changes mean that working class children had more time for games , including various forms of football .
American football rules
Note that the sideline itself is out of bounds , so that the runner is deemed out of bounds if he steps on or touches any part of it . Note also that a runner may carry the ball in such a manner that it is over the sideline , so long as the ball or runner does not touch anything out of bounds . The runner 's forward progress toward the opponents ' goal line is stopped by contact with an opponent , with little chance to be resumed . The exact moment at which the player 's forward progress stops is subject to the judgment of the officials . In particular , for the protection of the quarterback , he is considered down as soon as an official judges that he is in the grasp of an opponent behind the line of scrimmage , and the tackling defensive player ( s ) will be awarded with a sack . If he is driven backward by the opponent , the ball will be spotted where his forward progress was stopped .
American football rules
At the start of the second half , the team that did not choose first ( either because they deferred their choice or because they lost the toss ) gets the first choice of options .
American football rules
High school rules do not provide for video review of any decisions by officials during the game . Further , the use of television or video tape for coaching purposes during the game is prohibited . If a coach feels a rule has been misinterpreted , he may call timeout and request a coach - referee conference to discuss the ruling with the referee , but no replay equipment will be consulted during the conference .
American football
Another set of officials , the chain crew , are responsible for moving the chains . The chains , consisting of two large sticks with a 10 - yard - long chain between them , are used to measure for a first down . The chain crew stays on the sidelines during the game , but if requested by the officials they will briefly bring the chains on to the field to measure . A typical chain crew will have at least three people -- two members of the chain crew will hold either of the two sticks , while a third will hold the down marker . The down marker , a large stick with a dial on it , is flipped after each play to indicate the current down , and is typically moved to the approximate spot of the ball . The chain crew system has been used for over 100 years and is considered to be an accurate measure of distance , rarely subject to criticism from either side .
Basketball
The only essential equipment in a basketball game is the ball and the court : a flat , rectangular surface with baskets at opposite ends . Competitive levels require the use of more equipment such as clocks , score sheets , scoreboard ( s ) , alternating possession arrows , and whistle - operated stop - clock systems . An
Height in sports
Despite this , some shorter players have played , and even excelled , in the NBA . The list includes 5 ft 3 in ( 1.60 m ) Muggsy Bogues , 5 ft 5 in ( 1.65 m ) Earl Boykins , 5 ft 7 in ( 1.70 m ) Spud Webb , 5 ft 9 in ( 1.75 m ) Nate Robinson and Isaiah Thomas . Spud Webb and Nate Robinson have also been crowned as NBA slam dunk contest champions , with Robinson being the only 3 - time winner . In addition , a lower center of gravity allows greater ability to box out opponents for rebounds . Charles Barkley was considered to be undersized for his position at 6 ft 6 in ( 1.98 m ) but was nevertheless a powerful rebounder . As for guards , usually being the shortest position in basketball , they have better control over their dribbling , and taller players often struggle to defend against their dexterous ball handling and speed . At the same time , they can disrupt the opposing teams ' offensive flow or even steal the ball to create fast breaks and offensive opportunities .
Basketball
The basket is a steel rim 18 inches ( 46 cm ) diameter with an attached net affixed to a backboard that measures 6 by 3.5 feet ( 1.8 by 1.1 meters ) and one basket is at each end of the court . The white outlined box on the backboard is 18 inches ( 46 cm ) high and 2 feet ( 61 cm ) wide . At almost all levels of competition , the top of the rim is exactly 10 feet ( 3.05 meters ) above the court and 4 feet ( 1.22 meters ) inside the baseline . While variation is possible in the dimensions of the court and backboard , it is considered important for the basket to be of the correct height -- a rim that is off by just a few inches can have an adverse effect on shooting .
Basketball
The referee is responsible for judging whether contact is illegal , sometimes resulting in controversy . The calling of fouls can vary between games , leagues and referees .
Basketball court
Layout prescribed by the rules of the International Basketball Federation ( FIBA ) , the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) , and a National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) .
Basketball court
The restricted area arc is a semi-circular arc drawn around the area directly underneath the basket . With some exceptions , members of the defending team can not draw charging fouls in this area . The restricted arc in all North American rule sets above high school level ( NCAA men 's and women 's , NBA , and WNBA ) has a radius 4 feet ( 1.22 m ) from below the center of the basket . The NCAA restricted area arc was originally established for the 2011 -- 12 men 's and women 's seasons at a 3 - foot ( 0.91 m ) radius from below the center of the basket , and was extended to match the ( W ) NBA radius for the 2015 -- 16 season and beyond .
Basketball
A limited number of time - outs , clock stoppages requested by a coach ( or sometimes mandated in the NBA ) for a short meeting with the players , are allowed . They generally last no longer than one minute ( 100 seconds in the NBA ) unless , for televised games , a commercial break is needed .
Kenya
Nairobi has hosted several major continental sports events , including the FIBA Africa Championship 1993 where Kenya 's national basketball team finished in the top four , its best performance to date .
Basketball court
The perimeter is defined as the areas outside the free throw lane and inside the three - point line . Shots converted ( successfully made ) from this area are called `` perimeter shots '' or `` medium - range shots . '' If a player 's foot is on the three - point line , the shot is considered a perimeter shot .
Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is home to the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) , who moved from New Orleans in 1979 and play their home games in Vivint Smart Home Arena ( formerly known as the Delta Center and later known as EnergySolutions Arena ) . They are the only team from one of the four top - level professional sports leagues in the state . The franchise has enjoyed steady success , at one point making the playoffs in 22 out of 25 seasons , but has yet to win a championship . Salt Lake City was home to a professional basketball team , the Utah Stars of the American Basketball Association ( ABA ) , between 1970 -- 75 . They won one championship in the city ( in 1971 ) and enjoyed some of the strongest support of any ABA team , but they folded just months before the ABA -- NBA merger , thus preventing them from being absorbed by the NBA . Their success may have had a hand in the decision by the struggling Jazz to relocate to Salt Lake City in 1979 .
Basketball
Offensive plays are more varied , normally involving planned passes and movement by players without the ball . A quick movement by an offensive player without the ball to gain an advantageous position is known as a cut . A legal attempt by an offensive player to stop an opponent from guarding a teammate , by standing in the defender 's way such that the teammate cuts next to him , is a screen or pick . The two plays are combined in the pick and roll , in which a player sets a pick and then `` rolls '' away from the pick towards the basket . Screens and cuts are very important in offensive plays ; these allow the quick passes and teamwork , which can lead to a successful basket . Teams almost always have several offensive plays planned to ensure their movement is not predictable . On court , the point guard is usually responsible for indicating which play will occur .
