I don't believe lack of passion was why they lost to Balt. But I do believe that giving up 5 sacks, 3 turnovers and kicking FGs instead of TDs...
My post was largely satirical. Piously defending the traditions and purity of the game usually means defending it as it was 'back in my day'....
Here's a thought. Change the rule so that the PAT must be kicked by the guy who scored the TD. This would definitely add uncertainty to the...
Well, you still have FGs and KOs. And they didn't really reduce PATs very much with this chane. So if the NFL is trying to eliminate kickers...
You'd have to move it back to about the 35 yd line. Which actually would make it interesting. Going for 2, would be more attractive in general....
FWIW, from 1971 to 73 NFL teams made slightly more than 98% of their PAT attempts. In '74, they moved the goalposts to the back of the endzone...
It will be interesting to see if this causes teams to go for two more often. I've read detailed analyses by statisticians that argue that teams...
2pts, assuming they use the college rule. In college, if you block an XP or get an int on a 2pt attempt and return it all the way, the defending...
One way to make the PAT even less automatic would be to borrow an idea from rugby: instead of spotting the PAT at the middle of the field, spot...
Actually, I answered my own question. Gaylord Perry got 10 game suspension in 1982 for doctoring a baseball. 8 years after he wrote "Me and the...
Just a question, as I don't know the answer. Has MLB ever suspended a player for using a corked bat? Have they ever suspended a pitcher for...
If a defensive guy exhales, Archer goes down like a sack of potatoes. He's fast, but he's as allusive as a lamppost. Frankly, I'm glad Haley...
Where you from in Oz? I get there every 18 months or so, but spend most of my time in the West. Who do you barrack for in AFL? Or are you a...
gee, shouldn't we wait to see when the real schedule comes out to decide what their record will be? I'd be surprised if the league scheduled them...
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning.
If she's big enough, fast enough, strong enough and better than anybody else available, why not?
The same thing that happens when a male ref gets run over and hurt. They put in an alternate or they go with a smaller crew. if she can get the...
How exactly has the game been sullied by the current SB format? The most recent one was one hell of a football game. Were SB XL or SB XLiII any...
It would be neat if Pgh got the Super Bowl. But, as the article says, there aren't enough hotel rooms. And it would be a classic example of...
They should have drafted Tom Brady instead of Tee Martin
