The Christine Michael hype train gets going every year, sometimes more than once. Because in shorts and a t shirt the guy seems like he should be a pro bowl RB. Then he has to actually execute in a game situation and just... sucks. He's been on like 5 teams in the last two years and is now probably out of the league.

Uhh yeah I think almost all of the info on kicking that was posted is wrong? At least in NFL terms. I know jack poo poo about college ball so sorry if you were talking about that. A touchback (when a kickoff goes out the back of the endzone, or is caught and knelt down in the endzone) goes out to the 25 yard line. And the ball is kicked from a team's own 35 yard line. Ie, 15 yards behind the 50 away from the guy who is going to catch it. Touchbacks used to only go to the 20, and kickoffs were done from the 30. Both of these were moved in closer to each other to reduce the incentive for teams to return kicks, since kickoffs are dangerous as hell. It hasn't really had much effect, though, because no one gets to the NFL level without the drive to be a crazy person and run out against impossible odds. A team gets 4 tries (called "downs") to advance 10 yards. But unless they are super close after their third try, or they are down by a ton of points late in the game, they will almost always punt on 4th down. Because if you go for it and don't reach the line you needed, the other team just gets the ball where you left off. Whereas if you punt the ball on 4th down, the team gets it like 40+ yards further away assuming it was a good punt. Which makes it much harder for them to score themselves on their drive.

Depends on the player. Like yeah Stafford would wipe his rear end with a couple hundred grand (bear with me here as we imagine the Lions making a deep playoff run lmao). But for rando special teamers or the fullback or something reaching the Super Bowl amounts to like a 50% bonus.
