One of my ex wife’s cousins played against Don Mattingly in HS football in Evansville Indiana. He says that Mattingly, playing QB, would throw one pass right handed, and the next pass left handed. He was truly ambidextrous.

Carmelo Anthony won Rookie of the Month every month of his rookie year and still lost out on the Rookie of the Year award.
As it stands, Rookie of the Month is a conference award and LeBron, who would eventually win the Rookie of the Year award, won it every month as well.

An early field painted in a "gridiron" configuration.
Attempting to “open up” the game and reduce its “brutality,” football rules were modified in 1906 to allow the forward pass. The new rule stipulated, however, that a forward pass could not cross the line of scrimmage within five yards of either side of the center. To assist game officials, the field was marked off in a 5-yard by 5-yard grid. Historians believe that the term “gridiron” was a result.
