What are some sitcom episodes that were based around football one way or another?

On Friends they went out and played football on one of the Thanksgiving episode.

On Seinfeld Elaine was embarrassed at a football game when her boyfriend who had the same name as a famous serial killer was paged over the PA system.

Raymond also had "The Kicker," S6E11. Frank catches a history-making field goal - and runs away with the ball.

The Odd Couple, "The Hideaway," S1E15. Oscar tries to negotiate a pro contract for an outstanding young quarterback, who is also in demand as a cellist.

Mary Tyler Moore Show, "The System," S5E17. Ted and Lou join forces in betting on football. The episode infamously blew the outcome of the next day's Super Bowl.

Not an episode: Andy Griffith, "What It Was, Was Football"
