Oh! You learn new things every day!!
That #1 cleared the mist... I've always thougt it's Superb Owl referring to way the QB spins his head 300 degrees looking around.
That much I do know, that #7 (rest every 9 seconds) is just to balance the effective playing time
to the same level as in soccer, where guys spend the respective time lying on the grass doing variations of The Dying Swan.
I still think it should be called Pit Ball, because it's in the armpit that they carry the ball. Lappy Ball would sound a bit sissy.
