Talk about Star Wars, especially the now-defunct original Expanded Universe novels. If anything interesting happens with the football feel free to mention it I guess, just don't get in the way.

I don't ever want to read what SMG has to say about football. Something about Marxism I'm sure.

Calling for a fair catch when you've got 10 yards of space as you catch it is pretty dumb.

Counterpoint, by fair catching you avoid the inevitable block in the back penalty that sets you further back.

I just got off work, and haven't been able to watch. But to keep up with the thread theme, is this game like a Kevin J Anderson novel or Timothy Zahn novel?

Let me put it this way, this game is The Crystal Star of football.

A safety should be like catching the Snitch in Quiditch. It's worth a hundred or whatever points and the game doesn't end until it happens.

But then how did they land the ATAT's? And why was there no air support once the generator taken out? Also, I take back by defense of the ATAT design there is room for like a million turrets on that sucker.

The shield generator did not cover the entire planet, just the base. The AT-ATs had to land outside the perimeter of the shield and slowly walk their way in through the shield and then into gunnery range.
