Time to Show Off Your Football Nerd Skills

After a fair catch, an NFL team has the right to take a free kick from the line of scrimmage on the next play. If the kick goes through the uprights, the kicking team scores 3 points. It is also known as a “free kick field goal.”

Contrary to popular belief, vegetarians CAN run this offense, unless there’s meat left on the bone.

I always hear people that expect professional athletes to act like adults. I think that is funny. Especially since there has been no call to act responsibly in a nature that most common people (like myself) would understand. They were kids, then they got paid and got to still be kids and now have no financial concerns, like most of us do. Their lives are lived in a vaccum where people throw themselves at you and everyone wants desperately to be your friend, chances are that they grew up one of the cool kids in school and now they still get to live like it and everyone else plays along. So it is always interesting to me when we try to put them in a box with a perspective that they have never been or seen before.

I did a report on the Nigerian Nightmare Christian Okoye. He came to football from a track and field background and had no idea how the game was played so someone put an arrow on the field so he would know which way the play was run. Not sure how many people know that… Also his favorite singer is/was Tracy Chapmen.

I’d appreciate if you guys would keep the family photo album off AP

He lived right across the cul de sac from my Mom’s house.. Pretty cool dude for the most part. I let him borrow my tool kit to fix his lawnmower (I think). Which is hilarious, because his grass never really grew in. Anyway, that fool never returned my shit!

Can’t say that makes anyone reading smarter, but hopefully you enjoyed it.

On an extra point, if the defense somehow ends up with the ball and gets tackled with it in their own end zone, the kicking team gets a 1-point safety.

Then that really looks like a Zenith PC with attached Dot Matrix Printer.
A large Din-plug keyboard and probably a 20 MG hard drive with 32 MB of Ram.
Probably had a 5.25" floppy drive and running Z-Dos.
Did you have a Zenith Modem attached too? 2400 baud. Alas see the Phone connection.
probably had to use a terminal emulator to connect to a mainframe.
No ethernet Baby yet:) And No Internet.
HA HA, dated myself I think

Teaching my youngest son about football at a High School game. I asked him, “What happens after we score a touchdown?”

His answer, “The band plays.”

Enough said he plays soccer.

For those that liked the A-11 offense that made such a fuss in HS football last year it is over.

This is an offense where you have only have a center and 2 gaurds on O-line (Maybe add a TE / Tackle) But you line up in a punt formation. At the last minute before the snap your other guys step up to the LOS. This is intended to confuse the defense because they don’t have time to read the formation and determine who is or is not an eligible receiver. Also center can direct snap to 2 different people in the backfield or a man in motion. All based on stretching the rules and a system I consider extremely weak from the coaching standpoint. Don’t get me wrong it is a brilliant interpretation of the old rules, but not the right way to compensate for poor coaching on technique and game planning. It’s like the football version of guessing which bowl the ping-pong ball is under on a street corner.

for blowing my mind

I went to see Star Trek last night. Completely awesome. You guys gotta see it!

I know it is extremely homerish of someone on here to post but everything I am about to say is actually stuff I just read in Sal Paolantonios book The Paolantonio Report. He opts to compare Len to someone who is widely considered one of the greatest in Joe Montana….Here are the comparisons:

- Len led the league in passer rating 4 times to Montana’s 2
- Len led the league in completion percentage 8 times to Joe’s 5
- Averaged 7.7 yds/pass to Joe’s 7.5
- Led the league in TD passes 4 times to Joe’s 2
- Each had 6 seasons with 20 or more TDs
- Won 3 championships vs. Montana’s 4.

Maybe people will show some more respect to old Leonard….

Over rated post tied to this one?
Where is the third board?
Are you all just toying with Dan.
I will post a thong shot if necessary!

but scrolling this thread just kills me. We’ve had not one but two hilarious threads in as many days with this one and the over/under/just right. What’s funnier is how they devolved into something completely off topic. Chiefs fans are some funny mah’fuggers

But damn they’re funny… thanks for the laugs, people of AP!

Undoubtedly there are a few on here that look like these people…makes it akward haha…

because everybody deserves a good laugh in their day. I keep coming back to it and these pictures are killing me. Those computer nerds are rough
