Once the ball travels 10 yards forward the ball is up for grabs.

Yep - The kicking team can recover the ball once either: 1) The ball has travelled 10 yards, or 2) The ball has been touched by the receiving team. (For what it's worth, if it's touched by the kicking team without either of those things happening, it's an illegal touching penalty. I think that's a 5 yard penalty and rekick, although usually gets declined because the receiving team recovers) |

Was it only me that thought Norman came out of it looking really bad too? He played some great football but acted like a pr1ck. If OBJ had caught that ball when he torched him early, it would have been interesting. He lost his head because he was pissed off about that imo. |

I wondered whether people who live close to London (or don't mind travelling) fancied meeting up for a few beers on one of the big football days between now and the end of the season? Maybe the Saturday of the Wild Card weekend or the Divisional round. If there's interest we can make firmer plans. There'll be some cracking Wild Card games. Somewhere like the Luton G might be an OK spot, if outside of London is easier.

Some speculating Beckham might get a 1 game ban. And to think Josh Gordon got a year long ban after having 4 drinks on a flight to Vegas (he might have had a bit of previous tho if you included dope tests, DWI and blatant lying) ;o) http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/01/josh_gordon_confirms_his_indef.html |

Trying to distract from the fact that Beckham lost his shit IMO. Fully deserved ban. |

No reason at all to have a baseball bat at an NFL game.

No reason for Steelers fans to wave them shite towels round their head every 2 minutes, but they still do. Norman was probably out of line as well, but I think he was more reacting to the provocation from OBJ than the other way round. |

Those drops from New York are still hard to believe. |

Jack Tatum comes in needlessly hard on Sammy White, who has already being tackled in Superbowl 11 in 1977. I mean that's just assault, isn't it? I love how the commentators immediately discuss the route and the quarterback throwing it harder than normal before finishing with "...and still holds onto the ball"  The game is still, as Mike Ditka called it, a collision sport, but there's an understanding now that we should look to avoid the stupid stuff. The nice person in you would say that's because the NFL recognises how horribly its great athletes have been affected by their sport and how poorly the sport has looked after them. The cynic says it's because the NFL makes millions off these guys and they don't want them missing too many games. |
