Funny Are You Ready for Some Football

Every sport has its share of jargon, but when it comes to the sheer size of the lexicon, football clobbers the competition. You've got technical terms like T formation, wishbone, and intentional grounding. You've got acronyms like QB, TD, NFL, and NCAA. There are colorful expressions like Hail Mary and pigskin. And then there are sayings that have passed into general use, like dropping the ball and Monday morning quarterback.

All this adds up to some excellent pun-making opportunities. Here's a big list of football puns you can use for Instagram captions, party invites, or just to amuse yourself during halftime. If you can tackle all of these gridiron groaners, you are truly an MVP (Most Voracious Punster).

Note: In case it's not obvious by now, this article is about American football puns. If you're more interested in what most of the world calls football (aka soccer), reading these puns probably isn't your goal.
