Man, that’s so risky for Mahomes to extend with one hand there, you’re so close to a touchback fumble if you simply lose control just before the pylon

Never really thought about this before, but if the white on the sideline is out of bounds and all you need to do is touch the pylon to score, shouldn’t the pylon be positioned just inside the white line?

I know how it sounds but this is awful football to me. Undesigned QB runs all the way down the field. Boring playground bullshit.

Is the honey badger also a known felon? Or just a dbag? Either way you hate to see it

The pylon is out of bounds. If it was inside the white line it would be in bounds

Headline sounds interesting until you get to:

"instead, he (Rousseau) does power cleans, deadlifts, hang cleans, and bench press as their in-season strength training routine."

Now it just seems like a fact, fewest injuries, in search of a narrative.
Yeah if you're doing deadlifts instead of squats, I'm not sure how that prevents injury.

Yes, but announcers seem to say if a player hits the pylon, he’s in.

The key then is to knock the pylon out. If Mahomes had hit it square with the tip of the ball and pushed it straight back, would they have ruled him OOB?

And if you hit the outside edge of the pylon, you’re out. But I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen it called that way.

Maybe I’m forgetting the obvious or am going senile,

That's a good point actually. They're positioned out of bounds technically. It actually means that a ball hitting the pylon OUGHT to be out of bounds, but it's actually IN bounds by rule. That really makes no sense.
