'''Rhett Bomar''', who was the Giants' No. 2 (and sometimes No. 1) quarterback for most of the summer, cleared waivers at noon Sunday and was quickly signed to the Giants' practice squad.
+
  
−
Bomar's college football career started at The University of Oklahoma where he was starting quarterback during their 2005 season.  he was suspended From OU and the NCAA in 2006 for acccepting pay for work not done at a car dealership ran by a notable alumni donor to OU.  he later went on to play for Sam Houston State and is currently a second-year pro.

'''[[American football]]''' was created in the [[United States]] in the nineteenth century and was derived from Rugby. Originally played at the college level, professional teams were created in 1920.  This version uses a smaller ball than rugby and is the most popular form of football in the U.S.  The main difference from rugby is that the game is broken up into a series of plays, each ending when the ball touches the ground, and that for each play the offensive team is allowed one forward pass.  In addition the ball does not need to be grounded to score, but simply carried into the end zone.  The ultimate competition for this sport is the [[National Football League]]. Other professional leagues exist, many with rules variations. An example is the Canadian Football League, which has a larger field and three downs instead of four. Another is the Arena Football League, where games are played indoors on a shortened field.

Bomar was one of eight players the Giants signed to the squad. One other player they wanted to sign was running back Andre Brown, their fourth-round pick from last year out of North Carolina State who was one of the most surprising cuts Saturday.
+
'''Rugby''' was derived in [[England]] at around the same time as Soccer, initially at [[Rugby School]]. This version uses an elliptical ball with the main aim being to ground the ball over the opponents' goal line to score a try.  Kicking and passing are permitted, but all passes must be backward.  There are two versions of the sport, [[Rugby Union]] and [[Rugby League]]. Each uses a different numbers of players and slightly different rules.  Rugby is popular in the [[U.K.]], [[France]], [[Ireland]], [[Australia]], [[South Africa]], [[New Zealand]] and throughout the South Pacific.  The ultimate competition for this sport is the [[Rugby World Cup]] held every four years.

Brown, however, was claimed off waivers by the Denver Broncos.

The Giants had to add at least one quarterback to their practice squad and Bomar was obviously their top choice. The Giants have gone with only two quarterbacks on the active roster during the season each of the last two years and they decided to do so again this year after trading for veteran Sage Rosenfels to back up Eli Manning.

They do still need a quarterback to run the scout team in practice, though. That will be Bomar's primary job. Since he's on the practice squad he can't dress on game days, which means the Giants won't have an emergency third quarterback in case Manning and Rosenfels get hurt. This, is where they will regret not putting Bomar on the field...

Alas, it was not to be.  On December 20, 2010, two years before the Mayans predicted the Bills would win the Super Bowl, Rhett Bomar was transferred from the New York Giants practice squad to the backup quarterback position for the Minnesota Vikings.

As awesome as it might be to see Rhett Bomar come to a game in Favre's steed and lead the Vikings to a victory unlike any other, we here at the LordKaT Mafia can't help but feel saddened at the loss of one of our most iconic memes; our mascot, our snowclone, our hero.  Rhett Bomar, the New York Giants practice squad leader..... is no longer a Giant.

On December 26th, six days after the loss of Bomar from the New York Giants, the Giants went to go play off against the Green Bay Packers- And got brutally massacared 45 to 17. Bad execution of plays and interceptions up the wazoo were marked throughout the cold Wisconsin night.

In the same month, LordKaT started a new story in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as the grotesque Orc "Bomar The Invincible", and has begun his adventure by playing with chains and punching walls.

"Football sports" include American Football, Canadian Football, Soccer, two kinds of rugby, and Australian Rules Football.

American football was created in the United States in the nineteenth century and was derived from Rugby. Originally played at the college level, professional teams were created in 1920. This version uses a smaller ball than rugby and is the most popular form of football in the U.S. The main difference from rugby is that the game is broken up into a series of plays, each ending when the ball touches the ground, and that for each play the offensive team is allowed one forward pass. In addition the ball does not need to be grounded to score, but simply carried into the end zone. The ultimate competition for this sport is the National Football League. Other professional leagues exist, many with rules variations. An example is the Canadian Football League, which has a larger field and three downs instead of four. Another is the Arena Football League, where games are played indoors on a shortened field.

Rugby was derived in England at around the same time as Soccer, initially at Rugby School. This version uses an elliptical ball with the main aim being to ground the ball over the opponents' goal line to score a try. Kicking and passing are permitted, but all passes must be backward. There are two versions of the sport, Rugby Union and Rugby League. Each uses a different numbers of players and slightly different rules. Rugby is popular in the U.K., France, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and throughout the South Pacific. The ultimate competition for this sport is the Rugby World Cup held every four years.
