  1. Ah, American Football. Wikipedia points out:

    To reduce infighting and dirty play between teams, the neutral zone was created along the width of the football before the snap. Scoring was also adjusted: points awarded for field goals were reduced to three in 1909 and points for touchdowns were raised to six in 1912. Also in 1912, the field was shortened to 100 yards (91 m) long, two 10-yard-long (9.1 m) end zones were created, and teams were given four downs instead of three to advance the ball 10 yards (9.1 m).

    That fourth down, man. Ruined the game.Report

        1. I won’t rub it in. When Snyder owned the team we were on the receiving end of that kind of thing all the time. My oldest son is on the Jayden Daniels bandwagon and I have gotten several lectures from him about needing to stop being so negative. My wife dies with laughter every time. As if a 7 year old has any idea what I’ve been through.

          Still, if this continues, he might convince me to start using the word ‘Commanders’ whatever that even is (HTTR, etc.).Report
