What about
"I never play football."
?

Never is an adverb, not? Sorry if I'm wrong, just guessing... :P

They do exist... I can't give you an example off the top of my head... But in school everybody's always taught that *MOST* adverbs end in -ly....

This could be one... not sure...

The flutist played the song very well.

Very describing well... well describing how they played it.

Yeah, there are quite many words or phrases without -ly ending that serve as adverbs... *-)

* Aeryn does a quick google search

Fast, hard, straight, kind of, to some extent, quite, such...

Also, Wikipedia definition of adverb.
