In overtime in pro football are there two overtimes or does it just end after one as a tie?
Depends on the time of year in which the game is played... regular season games have one overtime period (sudden death, first to score wins) and if at the end of the period (full 15 minutes, each team gets 2 timeouts) the score is still tied, it's over. Tie ball game. Playoff games on the other hand cannot end in ties... they'll continue playing indefinately until someone finally scores. (but the odds of 2 playoff caliber teams not being able to kick a field goal in a 15 minute period to seal a win in OT prevent us from seeing a double overtime game!)
This answer is absolutely right. I'd just add that in postseason, overtime is played just like a brand new game. Therefore, each team gets a full 3 timeouts instead of 2, and there would even be a halftime period if the game was tied after the end of 2 overtimes. No game has ever gone beyond a second overtime, though.

In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues.

What happens if the scores are tied in the fourth quarter in basketball?
In the National Football League, if the score of the game is 0-0 at the end of the fourth quarter, the game is handled like any other tie. The teams play a 15-minute, sudden-death overtime period. If neither team scores by the end of the overtime, the game ends in a tie. However, in the postseason, additional 15-minute overtimes are played until a team scores. In college football, the game is also handled like any other tie, but under the rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Each team gets one possession, which begins at its opponent's 25-yard line. The possession ends when the team scores, misses a field goal, or turns the ball over by fumble, interception, or failure to convert a first down on fourth down. Both the possession and the game end if the defensive team scores on the possession. If the game remains tied after both teams have had a possession, another overtime is played. These alternate-possession overtimes continue until one ends with the game no longer tied.
