I like the Rock Hall and the Football HOF, but I was also 15 when I last went to them despite going to college in between Canton and Cleveland. $23 doesn't sound too bad.

You can get a package with Red Zone but as far as entire games, I believe Gamepass is your only legal option.

swickles posted:I don't know why on long field goal attempts teams don't just stick the tallest guy or whoever has the highest vertical reach to try and block it. I mean, I know you have a return guy, but there are some circumstances where you want to commit to the block, like if its a FG to tie the game as time expires. Then a return is worthless, just stick your project 6'8" WR back there to try to block it. Is this post from before the Iron Bowl?

I am looking to move to Chicago, specifically Humboldt Park for the first couple of months. I know there are a ton of Michigan State alums in the area, so does anyone know a good bar to go to for their games? Are there also any places dedicated to showing Lions games for all of the Michigan transplants? I know the NFL has its coverage rules, but I would guess there are places with Sunday Ticket or something to give them access.

"Ain'ts" was a pretty common nickname for the Saints for most of their existence, so it's easy to make the assumption that it's intentional.

SkunkDuster posted:For the last 3 years or so, Phil Sims in Madden football has been telling me that when an offense stays on the field for a long time, the defense gets tired and they make mistakes. Doesn't it stand to reason that the offense would also be getting tired and more prone to making mistakes? It's much more tiring to chase somebody than to run away from them.

No, I understood what he was asking. I was curious if he noticed the thread titles because his wording was "like people constantly post" and didn't mention the threads themselves, implying that people post them outside of N/V threads.

Double post, but I have a question: What's the point of eligibility rules for college teams in transition between divisions? Georgia Southern is 7-2 playing a full FBS schedule, but they can't count as a Sun Belt champion or even make a bowl game unless there aren't enough eligible teams. That seems really dumb.

FreakyMetalKid posted:If it can't be quantified, it may still exist, that's fair. However, if there's not a correlation between long drives and points or long drives and wins, then it's probably not a factor worth yapping about so frequently. TOP is determined more by play style (and a good defense) than quality of offense. The service academies always have the ball a ridiculous amount because they run on every single play and they try to shorten the game against their athletically superior opponents.

You could probably generalize about the quality of a division or conference over the span of a few years, but not style. Double edit: If you're really into conference or regional identity expressed through play style, get into college ball. Which you should do anyway because it rules harder than anything on earth.

Crayfish posted:Would an NFL team based in Omaha be a terrible idea? Imagine they moved the Bills there and made them swap divisions with Detroit or something I dunno. Because Omaha is a non-existent media market and presumably everybody in Nebraska is far more interested in the Huskers than any pro team.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of coordinators being up in the booth versus on the sideline? I imagine being able to see everything from above helps, but different coordinators seem to have different preferences. Norv Turner appears to be upstairs, while Joe Lombardi is on the sideline, for example. Pat Narduzzi stays in the booth for three quarters and then comes down for the fourth.

stubblyhead posted:A question about fake punts/FG attempts. If the punter or holder runs or passes the ball instead, or the ball is snapped to someone closer to the line of scrimmage, is he considered to be the quarterback for that play? Can you rephrase this? Like are you asking if it would be roughing the passer should he be hit in the head or after a throw? Because "considered the quarterback for that play" doesn't really mean anything.

Yes. The running back direct snap is a common trick play in college. Anyone behind the center can receive the snap.

Rick posted:Explain the "reporting as ineligible" thing in the Patriot/Raven game to me, and why it was so effective, please. Because Shane Vereen does not have an offensive lineman's number, he is normally considered an eligible receiver and free to move downfield. But by declaring to the official that he was ineligible and lining up on the line of scrimmage, he was effectively acting as another lineman. It worked so well because 1) nobody ever does that, so the Ravens were accounting for more receivers then there were and 2) the referee only has to announce when someone with a number between 50-79 is eligible, not when someone else is ineligible (which is why it's an illegal formation when a receiver is "covered" by somebody parallel to him and he still goes downfield). I think. Somebody else can probably explain it better.

Whether or not they go probably depends on the owner (I think Jerry Jones goes to every Cowboys game), but yeah I'm pretty sure they have reserved boxes.

turbomoose posted:Relating to the eligible/ineligible stuff, like on a short and goal situation, do teams name random linemen eligible, even if they just run it? It just seems like you would have to do that otherwise the times you actually send a lineman as a receiver would be really obvious. You have to declare that somebody with a number between 50-79 is eligible in order to have six linemen on the field, regardless of what play you are going to run. Usually teams send in a third tackle.

Deteriorata posted:With professionals, I have no problem running up the score. They're paid to be out there. There's enough parity among the teams that they should be able to mount some sort of defense regardless of the situation. You should always run up the score in rivalry games. Or to make sure a team knows their place like Jim Tressel did to Northwestern.

Fans turn on guys for it all the time, usually saying they're putting themselves ahead of THE TEAM and WINNING. Then they forget about it because it turns out that paying your best players is often important to having a winning team.

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:I have a question, and it's to do with who gets to see what games on TV, so allow me to frame it: I am a Detroit Lions fan living in Detroit and the Lions game is at 1pm ET, at home and sold out. What games would I be able to watch over free to air TV? I guess the Lions game would be on Fox at 1pm, but would there be a competing game on CBS at 1pm that I could watch? If there's a Fox doubleheader does that mean I'd get the Lions game at 1, another Fox game at 4:25 but also a CBS game at 4:05? I'm genuinely confused, due to the fact that over here we don't have regional games or anything like that You you would probably get a Fox doubleheader and the late CBS game, assuming the Lions are hosting an NFC team
