A Nerf Football is a common name for what is actually a Poof brand foam football, commonly sold at Wal*Mart for ~$2-3. They are very firm, and are usually two bright colors.
The foam in a Nerf football is a very dense, relatively heavy white open cell foam which is widely used in stabbing tips, particularly for polearms, such as glaives and spears.
Nerf footballs come in two sizes, small and large. A single small nerf football can be used for a nice small-profile spear-tip, while a large Nerf football can either be used for multiple stabbing tips (2-3, particularly well suited for glaives)or alone as a deep, large-profile spear tip. The small Nerf footballs are poorly suited for use on a glaive tip without looking quite strange.
Before use, the pointy ends need to be trimmed off (to pass the 2.5" rule), and the harder plastic ridge along the seam should be removed as well. The rest of the plastic "skin" can be left on or removed.
A Nerf football is also used in the game of blood bowl.
