To illustrate the science behind the game, he highlights some of football's recent memorable moments, along with legendary feats from the likes of Franco Harris and Joe Montana.Did you Know?Newton's Second Law of Physics proves that Dick Butkushit running backs with the force of a small killer whale.The average force with which a football must be kickedduring kickoff is 450 lbs.
