If the onside kick rule changes I wonder if there are situations where if you take a late lead it might be better to go for the 4th and 15 than give the other team the ball outright. Since they took out the rule you had to be behind. And sometimes giving the ball back guarantees a field goal attempt anyway because of late defense.

The texans would have like one offensive drive (whichever half they receive on) per game whenever they play the chiefs

Teams always had the option to kick onside in this situation, and almost never did

e: it's usually better to make the opponent gain those 40 yards even if you're going to be dumb and play soft defense, it still drains clock

99 % caffeine free is 99 % not my kinda thing
I once tried out a golf simulator with some friends and managed to hit the edge the metal plate you teed off of, nearly detaching it from the floor. So not my game I think.

Our local golf club (original home of the Ryder Cup!) allowed people to take walks on their grounds during the UK’s strictest lockdown phase, and I was both amazed at the beauty of it and annoyed at all that gorgeous land being essentially the private property of privileged loafers. But I could definitely see the appeal.

quote:

Certain foreign professional athletes from China, United Kingdom and more than two dozen other European countries, including men's and women's professional golfers, will no longer be restricted from traveling to the U.S., per an exception signed Friday.

The order, signed by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad F. Wolf, states that “any alien whose entry would be in the national interest, as determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their designees,” would be exempt from previous proclamations that went into effect during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Those proclamations barred travel to the U.S. from China, U.K., Ireland, Iran and the 26 European countries that comprise the Schengen Area, including Italy, Spain and France.
