a new sport, perhaps called 'foodball' and perhaps not.

a sandwich replaces the football. this is known as 'the gamewich.'

gamewich can be made with whatever meats, cheeses, and veggies you like. i'm trying to decide whether the o-line assembles it from scratch or if the gamewiches are prepared. but either the center should apply condiments before the snap, or else a special condiment guy does, right after the snap while the qb drops back. if you're going to throw, you want thick condiments, and you better throw a tight spiral.

the most interesting parts come after the play is in action. possession is proven with a 'dining move.' you do not have possession until you take a bite. this can lead to some interesting close calls.

michaels: and here comes the challenge flag.

madden: you know al, i'm not sure that guy got his lips around that thing before the hit.

(replay shows a reception already near the mouth, a slice of tomato flying away. a successful bite is unclear)

official: ruling on the field stands. incomplete.

receiver struts about, wiping his mouth with his hand and talking back to the ref. 'look, that's mayo on my face! mayo!'

i think defenses can score on turnovers. on a fumble recovery or interception, you can get an automatic seven points and avoid bringing your offensive unit back onto the field if the recoverer can devour the entire sandwich before being tackled. a literal takeaway. make the 'ball' literally go away.
