Kalbear Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Defensive scores of any kind end the game as well. Here's an example from the rulebook:A.R. 16.19 SAFETYThird-and-5 on A7. On the opening possession of overtime, A1 is tackled in his own end zone for a safety.Ruling: Game over. Team B wins. Both teams have met the minimum requirements for possession. Basically as soon as you turn the ball over you have given the opportunity for both teams to have possession (albeit possibly very quickly) and thus the game is over on the next score of any kind.

Maithanet Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If both teams have had possession, however briefly, then the next score wins the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Jaime, I sympathized with your sports naming debacle. Honestly, I did. And then today, here in Toronto, we went and sold the naming rights to Maple Leaf Square (huge square downtown outside ACC where Torontonians gather to watch sports on giant screen) to the Ford Motor Co.Meaning our central square/sports Mecca is now named Ford Square.Coincidentally, you may have heard of our current train wreck of a mayor, Rob Ford? Crack smoker, potential murder multiple suspect, alcoholic, repeatedly demonstrated as corrupt, hooker-hiring, gay-bashing, racist jingoist explitive uttering old woman careening football falling camera face-planting....I literally could go on for days...anyways, that guy.About whom the world knows, and now will assume is such a delight we name our central square after the complete asshat.Oh, joy.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 In a parallel line of thought, if the ball is intercepted by team B but the intercepting player fumbles, with the fumble being recovered by team A, do they now only need a fieldgoal to win? That's almost always going to be a touchback though, unless the defensive player is a complete bonehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkynJay Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 That's almost always going to be a touchback though, unless the defensive player is a complete bonehead.Almost, but a Washington player came a fiit away from managing it last night. Not in OT, but I would have laughed very hard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an important unintentional homage to the most unintentionally entertaining mayor in North America. Never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Apparently Washington fans felt "ambushed" by The Daily Show for inviting them on the show to defend the team name then confronting them with a group of Native Americans. The funniest things one of the fans said was something along the lines of "If I had known they were going to be there I wouldn't have worn my Redskins jacket." If you are defending the team name...and that matters...I'd say it's hypocrisy but it feels so much more like plain stupidity. You can see the segment here. Now I know for a fact not all Washington fans are like this. But I also know for a fact that some Washington fans are SO like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So apparently Suh will not be re-signing with the Lions... The report indicates the Giants, Jets, Cowboys, or Bears as potential destinations. I'd be cool with him going to the Jets or Bears. Can you imagine Rex Ryan's erection if he still had his job and got to play with Suh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesome possum Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The refs have scored more points than either the Packers or the Bears so far. My tally is Packers-7, Bears-3, Refs-14. Also, my fondest fuck you to the local television networks for believing that because the Colts are playing, Bears vs. Packers should not be on television. Fuuuuuuckkkkk you for making me watch this game on a shitty stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdawnb Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Did the Green Bay / Chicago defenses even bother to come to the stadium today? And the refs just aren't getting any better. I was hoping some of this would smooth out, but after 4 preseason and 2 regular season, it's still awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
