Sure, I’ll go check it out. But, I hope you cleared this post with the mods here, as they don’t like spamming. If you’re a mod elsewhere, I’m sure you thought of that before posting. 🙂 ftr, I miss the Oilers and I’m a rabid Bronco fan! ---

I like it when it’s 3rd and about 30 yards, and the quaterback throws a long interception and the announcers talk about how bad that is and yet it sometimes might be better in terms of field position than punting with a good run back. Of course, the mental/emotional impact is different. And now, because of what happened on a Monday night, everyone puts a man in the endzone for long field goals because it’s a live ball if missed and still in the field of play. Oh the joys of being a Bronco fan. ---
