algebra testes posted:What was the story with Michigan/Rutgers? Like, this is a serious beatdown with fake extra point conversions in the first half and going for it on fourth and goal with a 30 point lead... ? The story is that Rutgers is embarrassingly bad and quit in the first quarter. Michigan set a school record for rushing touchdowns, they hardly threw the ball at all and Rutgers couldn't tackle 4th string freshmen. They didn't get a first down until there were 9 minutes left in the game. Michigan could have scored 150 if they'd wanted to.

Additionally, Harbaugh is a petty rear end in a top hat who probably saw that Ohio State won 59-0 and wanted to one up them. He went for 2 when up by four touchdowns.

I watched some football this weekend for the first time in years. I noticed the following items that were pink: Shoes Socks Gloves Wrist bands Mouth guards Chin straps Arm sleeves Upright pads Whistles Fan signs Ads/logos Towels Shirts Face paint Things I didn't recognize So, I take this to mean that the NFL really cares about women and their health. Can someone confirm?

You ever see a dude in a pink shirt that says "FIGHT BREAST CANCER" and then you look closer and below that it says "CAUSE I LOVE SUCKIN' ON THEM TITTAYS"? The NFL is that in corporate form.

So last nights game made me think of an interesting scenario, anyone know how this gets resolved? Team A has the ball on Team B's 10 yard line, 1st and goal. On the previous drive, Team B kicked a FG on their first possession of OT making the score 30-33. Team A throws a ball which is intercepted by Team B. Stupidly, Team B attempts to return the interception and in doing so retreats into their own endzone where they are tackled. A safety is awarded to Team A, bring the score to 32-33. Now my question is which of the following happens: 1. Game over, Team B wins. 2. Team B must perform the free kick, with that being the final play. 3. Team B performs free kick and Team continues until the end of their drive, after which the game ends. Option 3 seems the least likely to me, but I am curious if any rules specifically reference this kind of scenario. Is the free kick something that must be done, like on an untimed down? I feel like given the nature of the play and how it comes about it should be.

For there to be a safety there had to be a change in possession. Team B leads after 2 possessions... game over. I think.

The interception was a change of possession and technically ended the game right there. ETA: I don't think the game actually ends until the play is over, however. A modification of your scenario would be B intercepts the ball, and rather than going down tries to run it back. B fumbles the ball and A recovers on the run and returns it for a touchdown, giving A the game. Deteriorata fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Oct 25, 2016 |

Possession has changed, but I don't know if the rules specify that in this instance the free kick must be performed since its possible for the score to change. In the case that the safety wins the game for a team, they can elect to not field the ball, because unlike a place kick, a free kick is not recoverable by the kicking team. But in this case, the safety does not win the game for the team scoring, so that is why I wonder if the free kick has to be done. As analogy, if a game is won on a TD as time expires, the extra point must be kicked even if the outcome of the game cannot be changed by making it, missing it, or having it returned for a point. I am wondering if the free kick falls under that type of rule set.

I am wondering if the free kick falls under that type of rule set. from here: Note 1: If the second team loses possession by an interception or fumble, the down will be permitted to run to its conclusion, but if the second team’s possession has legally ended with the fumble recovery or interception, any subsequent action will not affect the outcome of the game. (If the change of possession occurs in the second team’s end zone, the score counts.) Looks like they would not do the kick as that would affect the outcome of the game. In my modified scenario above, looks like the TD wouldn't count, either.

Wins is the first metric, but the next tie breaker is losses, which usually means going on to the next tie breakers, but in this case it doesn't.

Can anyone offer an explanation as to why, after every televised cowboys win, there is an immediate cut to an extended shot of Jerry Jones celebrating in the owners booth? Sure, broadcasts of other teams occasionally cut to a brief shot of the owner but nothing like they do with Jerry. Anyone else notice this? Personally, I find it annoying. Maybe I have answered my own question.

There is a face of every organization. For the Cowboys, that's Jerry Jones. He's probably top ten in football personalities anywhere. So they cut to him for, I don't know, football equity reasons.

I've seen home teams penalized for actions of the crowd that sufficiently disrupt the game in other sports. For example, in the NHL the home team can be awarded a 2-minute delay of game bench minor if fans cause a sufficient play disruption by throwing things onto the ice surface. Does the NFL have a similar rule and, if so, how many dildos would buffalo fans need to launch onto the field to be awarded a penalty?

Once the refs hosed the Cleveland Browns over so badly that the fans started pelting the field with bottles, and the refs called the game, and then the commissioner forced them to play it out so the Jaguars had to go out while being pelted with poo poo and kneel down. So theoretically you could rain down upon the refs or opposing players / coaches with slimy dildos and there's a chance they'd have to keep going with the game.

Can you still get beer in bottles at games...? I'm genuinely surprised about that. Can't say I've ever been to a stadium in Australia that has any glass, most won't even do cans, just beer in plastic cups.

They've been around for a while and are used at concerts and music festivals as well as sporting events.

Cleveland kind of has a history of drunken riots at sporting events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeTpnOzoPdw $0.10 in 1974 is equivalent to $0.51 today.

Serotonin posted:I've done a bad thing and bought a knock off aliexpress jersey. How disappointed am I going to be? Anyone else bought a fake before and what were they like? It's buried on page three, but check through the jersey thread if you want some idea/pictures of what you may end up with. Short version is it can be kind of a crap shoot, but they usually end up pretty well, such as these Eagles uniforms 89 ordered or a silly Giants throwback I bought that I liked more than the official ones (With better stitching to boot). There are others in the thread that are also pretty good if you wanna dig through it. You can sometimes end up with something with bad stitching or colors or whatever, but usually for the price ($25 to $50) it's not a big deal compared to $100 to $300 for official stuff that can have the exact same problems anyway.

I carefully looked at what was on offer compared to the official release ( Falcons Jones elite shirt in black ) and 28$ compared to 240 seemed a reasonable gamble. The pics of the fakes if indicative of what I receive seem ok. Plus I'm in the UK. No fucker will know the difference here EDIT- well this has worked out well- the store I ordered from has vanished!

The NFL does have a Crowd Noise penalty, but it is only really meant for when a team is actively trying to get the crowd to be loud while there's action on the field. Sounds "under club control" have to stop when the play clock is running. Additionally, there's the "palpably unfair act" rule, that says if a player is hindered by a "palpably unfair act", the officials can award pretty much any penalty, up to and including, a touchdown. (Basically, if a player jumps off of the bench and makes a tackle, the officials can decide if the player would have actually been legally tackled and award as much yardage as they want.) I guess if a visiting player was hit with a dildo, they could be awarded yards, and if they fell out of bounds tripping over a dildo, they could be awarded a touchdown if it was close to the goal line. If a pass was knocked out of the air by a flying dildo; I have no idea how they would handle that, but it would be a heck of a throw from the crowd to get a rubber dong into a passing lane.

IIRC there's a baseball kid's movie with roughly this premise.
