+1 to the 'start with one sport and add the second one in a couple of years' crowd.
I also played football in high school and college. I even played on a semi-pro team for a few years before becoming an official. The first time I actually read the rule book (after registering to officiate for the first time), I very quickly learned that knowing the rules as a player/fan/coach is a VERY different thing then knowing the rules as an official.
Don't let that discourage you though.... new officials are always welcome in my book.
