I will never understand the affinity NFL coaches have for the fade pass into the endzone. Sometimes it looks like it's the only pass play they know how to call in goal-to-go.

I’d rather Dennis Miller and Tony K with no pbp guy. I’m a broken record on this topic. MNF should be a jewel ESPN polishes and instead they cover it with shit.
The penalty for kicking the ball out of bounds on a kickoff seems overly punitive, especially if it rolls out of bounds at the one-yard line (essentially a 39-yard penalty). But, you can have a punt go out of bounds with no penalty whatsoever. Seems to be inconsistent.
What am I missing because there must be a reason for this.

It’s easier to kick it OOB accurately from a tee, there would be guys pinning kickoffs inside the 15 all the time.
How did Booger even get this job? I feel like I didn't hear anything from him for a decade after he retired, then he was the weird dude on the MNF sideline who would fly around in some little chair or something, then all of a sudden he's the MNF color commentator? He's so bad at this.
I feel like Tedy Bruschi would be incredible in this role.

Why aren't 12 men on the field penalties called when a guy on the defense is scrambling to get off the field before the snap? How would that be any different than the Lions guy running off the field before the FG there, but a flag was thrown because the offense was in formation?
Third TD pass on one drive for Rodgers. Might be more even more impressive than Mahomes throwing for 116 yards on one drive yesterday...
That makes sense; I would like it if the same penalty (with a lesser yards) was enforced for punts going out of bounds.
People would just let it bounce, it is not a live ball. I think you are offering solutions to something that is not a real problem.
He didn’t bring him down by pulling on the pads from behind (he moved his hand placement), so it’s not a penalty.
Damn, that was brutal. Hope Allison is ok. Nothing the defender could do there, IMO, he was playing the ball. Just horrible timing for both.
It was obvious live that the defender was going for the ball and not the WR. Just a terrible call 100% in response to a guy getting hurt.
He was outside of the pocket and the throw went past the line of scrimmage.
Detroit hasn't been able to stop the run all night so GB is airing out to the guy from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Sorry, just getting back to this. It’s not the “pocket” but the tackle position. Though maybe these are synonyms generally. He was on the run but in the tackle position to me. He took like two steps.
