Hey all you jocks and bros out there, I need your help. I have recently begun my transformation into becomeing a complete (dumb) jock and I want to learn about football (the jockiest of all sports) but I am having trouble learning all the rules and terms.
Maybe its the dumbing down (but I found it confusing before). Can any of you walk me through it or provide a link to a site or video that explains it simple and effective enough?
For now I will continue to try learn it on my own but help would be appreciated. Please and thank you!

Probably really late but I just joined this site. (3 months late) If you still check, I would love to help you learn it. Though you mean American football of soccer?

American football rules:

That should get you started if what you want is American football.

There is also a book, Football for Dummies which is available (USED) on Amazon at $2.83 (plus shipping) and up. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0470125365/ref=sr_1_2_twi_pap_1_olp?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1447293934&sr=1-2&keywords=football+for+dummies

Some parts of the book are available on the web:

http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/football-for-dummies-usa-edition-cheat-sheet.html

http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/common-football-terms-to-know.html

If this is not enough, just google "football basics" and read or listen (there are YouTube videos explaining the game) to your heart's content.
