Happen to be staying at the same hotel as the Miami Dolphins this week. Can't say I recognize any of the players I've seen so far, but they are so massive and very polite.

Good thing it wasn't the Jets. J-E-T-S-L-O-L...

Call in Fitzpatrick. He went to Haavard, you know. What could possibly go wrong? Good thing they got rid of Rex to put an end to the infamous circus-like atmosphere.

I've always liked the NFL but that show got me back into it a few years ago. 'Coach ' is quality in it.

I wish I had enough time to follow college football.

American football is just rules on top of rules on top of rules. It takes years to understand it.

College football is a better more exciting game. Plus the fan/stadium experience of actually going to the games is fun.

OK let's go with something simple like Punting:

teams usually punt on 4th down. The team punting cannot be 5 yards past the line of scrimmage before the ball is punted or its a penalty. Also if the receiving team does not touch the ball on the punt the ball is dead and the receving team gets the ball there it is downed. HOWEVER if the ball even touches one of the receiveing team's players then it is live and the punting team can recover it. Now remember this is different from kickoffs where the ball is live at all times and the receiveing team has to touch it except the ball on a kickoff has to travel 10 yards and all 11 players have to be behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is kicked off. If the punt goes into the endzone the receiving team gets it on the FCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
