THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN
RULES FOOTBALL
Australian-rules football is a physical contact sport. It is a form of football with its roots in early forms of Rugby and Gaeli football, but it is uniquely Australian. Its rules were standardized in 1859 and probably predate all other modern forms of football. Today it is a multi-million dollar business, with a national competition and numerous smaller leagues in Australia. Interest in the game is highest in Australia and has yet to take a firm hold overseas.

Patriots pick Superbowl starter
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — Tom Brady wins again.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick picked Brady as the starting quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl, choosing the former backup over three-time Pro-Bowl player Drew Bledsoe.
Brady led New England to seven consecutive wins before spraining his left ankle Sunday in the AFC championship game.
Bledsoe took over and led the Patriots into the Super Bowl with a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brady was confident he'd be ready, and Belichick decided after viewing tapes of Wednesday's practice that the second-ear pro was his choice.
Brady, the AFC's third-rated passer, was 12-
3 in his previous 15 starts after the Patriots lost the first two games of the season with Bledsoe at quarterback.
Bledsoe was the starter until a crunching hit sheared a blood vessel in his chest in the second game of the season.
Questions could linger long into the off season as coaches and club officials consider their options: Dump Bledsoe's big salary, explore a deal for the younger Brady, or keep both.
