In the UK to dribble a football means to keep it close to your feet as you move along the pitch - is that the meaning you refer to here? If so I can't make sense of the quote, because it's perfectly possible.
Heh. Make that, "tell them to basketball-dribble an American football."
People in the rest of the world dribble footballs all the time.
Funny, when I was a kid I sometimes used to try to basketball-dribble a US football for fun. Never got it down very well.
American football, basketball dribble.
Edit: Aww, I lose alphabetically and chronologically.
You found better references, though. :)
He almost certainly meant an American football, and dribbling as in basketball, which is done by bouncing it off the ground repeatedly.
