I don't think you can advance an onside kick.
Also, Dawson got iced on a game winning kick (he hit the iced kick) and then missed the real one. Icing works!
Touching isn't enough, you have to have possession and then fumble it. If that happens, kicking team can advance the ball.
Raiders beating the Jets on the perfectly groomed baseball diamond. Patriots play there 11/19 but there will be sod in the infield then.
They've gotta know Anderson has great balance amd strength, you can't throw your body at him like Heath
Stupid unnecessary roughness call against Oakland for throwing jets ball carrier to the ground.
Can someone tell me the last time there was a documented hit of lightning at any major league baseball or football field ? Some of the things we now are terrified of mystify me...like peanut butter.
A few years ago, 2013 I think, they delayed the first game of the season in Denver because of lightning. Not sure this is a new thing. If lightning strikes, the show will not go on.
Who's more miserable? Cutler or Rivers? I don't think I've seen either one smile. Call this the Stinkface Bowl
Edit: Shit, not Graham again.

Just how low does the probability have to be before it's more than 'luck' ?
NOAA says that during the 10-year period of 2004-2013, 33 people were killed and 234 were injured by lightning strikes annually. On average, lightning strikes are fatal to about 10 percent of people who are struck.Jul 16, 2015
Based on those stats Mauf you should never EVER get behind the wheel of a car again because you've just been 'lucky' so far.
How many people do something as risky as sitting in the upper reaches of a stadium during a lightning storm?
I mean, I think people are stupidly afraid of shark attacks, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to swim near the seals.
So they didn't say he couldn't take a snap from under center? I'm just trying to understand. That would be like Jon Lester not being able to throw to first.
Not going to hijack, but aside from a few cases on golf courses and one literally in a hut at the summit of a mountain....doesn't actually happen in courts, especially since a significant amount of strikes/injuries occur inside all sorts of structures, so unless you are advocating a requirement to provide Faraday Cages that can accommodate 50,000 at each venue....it's one more example of theater to appear to be caring
It's not unusual in college -- lots of spread-system teams never practice putting the QB under center. I just haven't seen an NFL QB who hadn't figured that out, and I would've thought getting Goff comfortable under center (at least in short-yardage situations) would've been a priority at some point last year.
With OAK on the road the next 2 weeks, this might be the last NFL game ever played on a diamond. Next home game is 10/8, after the A's season will have already come to merciful end.
