Answer 1

best to go into a butcher store and ask those things.  If you have worked in a meat department i am suprised you don't already know the answers and how to explain these to a customer... but if you walk into a standard butchershop and act dumb, they will give you what you want.

wiki has the different grades explained, but never heard of a football roast:
