I like Frank's pic. Probably would like it better with the quicker full in frame, but I think it works well as presented.
On the other hand, although I'm a fan of Gary Winogrand, I have to say that this football shot does nothing for me. The action is not particularly interesting, and to my eye, the composition is ordinary. It's not even a slice of American. But that's just me.
