Late Touchdown Pushes Tulsa Past Rice, 28-24
Oct. 20, 2012
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
TULSA, Okla. - Alex Singleton scored the second of his two touchdowns with 1:33 left in the game to lead Tulsa to a 28-24 comeback win over Rice Saturday afternoon in front of a Homecoming crowd of 22,567 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
The Golden Hurricane (7-1, 5-0 C-USA) took over on its own 20 after Rice missed a field goal with 2:55 remaining. On the first play from scrimmage, Ja'Terian Douglas weaved and raced 75 yards to give TU first-and-goal on the Rice 5. Two plays later, Singleton dove in from the 1 to give the Hurricane its first lead of the game.
On the next Rice possession, Dexter McCoil, who had an interception to set up a touchdown in the third quarter, recovered a fumble on fourth down to seal the game for the Hurricane. Lowell Rose stripped the ball from Jordan Taylor, who made the reception on the play, and appeared to have the first down yardage.
"This is an unbelievable great thing to be a part of," Tulsa Head Coach Bill Blankenship said. "A special thing going on with this team right now. We're overcoming a lot of other issues, but boy, I can't be prouder.
"We left a lot of points on the field, had two drives in the first half. We did not get off the field on some key 4th downs. I think you give Rice a lot of credit. Their wildcat package we pretty much had no answer for. We were adjusting and trying different things, and we just couldn't keep them from making a first down in four plays it seemed. We finally held them and made them have to kick a field goal, and that was kind of the best scenario that we had."
Douglas finished with 169 yards and a touchdown on 17 rushes. Singleton ran 18 times for 63 yards, and with his two scores, he is now in sole possession of the Tulsa career rushing touchdowns record after his two-score performance.
Blankenship called Douglas' 75-yard rush that set up the game-winning touchdown, "just an incredible, incredible run."
Sophomore Kalen Henderson made his first career start at quarterback in place of Cody Green, and threw for 201 yards, on 8-of-23 passing, and a touchdown. Keyarris Garrett was on the receiving end of 118 of those yards with three catches.
"Offensively we're really proud of Kalen," Blankenship said. "I thought he really stepped in on his first game and overcame a little bit of a tough start. But he really hooked up with Keyarris, and Keyarris made a couple grabs today and missed a couple. But great opportunities for him, and we liked the match up that we had with Keyarris."
Rice running back Luke Turner ran 15 times for 102 yards. Quarterback Taylor McHargue completed 15-of-35 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown and rushed 13 times for 57 net yards for the Owls (2-6, 0-4 C-USA).
McCoil and DeAundre Brown led the Hurricane defense with 13 tackles apiece.
Tulsa was playing without its top two players in total offensive yards, as Green and running back/kick returner Trey Watts were banged up, and sat out the game. Green and Watts accounted for 1,937 yards of total offense entering Saturday's contest.
Rice put the first score on the board when Sam McGuffie blocked Cole Way's punt and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown. The Golden Hurricane responded on its next possession with a 75-yard drive that lasted 10 plays and 3:12. Singleton bulldoze in from the 1 to tie the score at 7-7.
After trading punts, the Owls took over on their own 48, and scored seven plays later when
Henderson hit Thomas Roberson for 33 yards to bring Tulsa to the Rice 28, and on the next play, Douglas scampered 28 yards to tie the score, 14-14.
Rice scored on its second straight drive when it took the kickoff following Tulsa's touchdown and went 75 yards in nine plays. McHargue hit Luke Willson from eight yards out as the Owls retook the lead, 21-14.
After a mostly scoreless third quarter, Tulsa broke through and tied the game with 1:51 left in the third. Dexter McCoil stepped in front of McHargue's pass and intercepted it to give TU the ball at the Rice 28. On the next play, Henderson found Garrett in the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown.
Rice took the lead again when Chris Boswell hit a 35-yard field goal to make the score, 24-21, with 9:24 left in the game.
Rice converted on 4th-and-1 on the TU 24 with less than five minutes on the clock, and extended its drive. The Owls then missed a 36-yard field goal attempt wide left, and Tulsa took over on its own 20 with 2:55 remaining.
That set up the game-winning drive for the Hurricane.
"This is a resilient team," Blankenship said. "It's an incredibly close team. They continue to celebrate each other. They're resourceful. They're opportunistic. "What happened when Dexter gets the pick? Well, we immediately turn and go score. It seems like we feed off of each other, and then we'll go through these cycles where we're not playing particularly well on either side of the ball. But those were things that I thought, in the key moments of the game, the offense and defense fed off each other and we got some plays, and they just found a way."
Tulsa will take next week off before it travels to Fayetteville on Nov. 3 to take on Arkansas. Game time and television information is still TBA.

Welcome center booth removed from parkBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | April 06,2013Caption
Caption CaptionThe welcome center came out of Main Street Park on Friday after at least a half-century of service.
City workers took down the structure, which had been staffed by the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, in preparation for changes to the park as part of the Routes 4 and 7 project.
The redesign of the park includes the removal of the curb access from Main Street to the centers parking area.
There had been talk of selling the building to someone who would relocate it, but City Engineer Evan Pilachowski said there were no buyers when it went out to bid.
The chambers executive vice president, Thomas Donahue, has said the new office at the corner of West Street and Merchants Row will fulfill the role of the welcome center and that brochures are also on display at strategic locations like the airport, the train station and Diamond Run Mall.
In addition to the removal of the welcome centers curb cut, the project will also eliminate the access to Main Street from Court Square, though the entry onto West Street will remain and the southern end will get a wide turnaround area.
Tree cutting has also begun in preparation for the project. Public Works Commissioner Jeffrey Wennberg said the city intends to replace the trees being removed.
Theyve tried to design it to minimize the impact on the park and on trees, he said. Well do our level best to make sure, along the entire corridor, that the citys canopy is restored.
The start date of construction on the project remains up in the air, Pilachowski said, as the Agency of Transportation and Vermont Railway work out issues arising from including rail crossings near Route 4 in the project.

Arizona senator introduces parental rights bill
PHOENIX -- A parental rights bill, introduced by Sen. Nancy Barto, is making its way through the Arizona Legislature.
Under current Arizona law, a parent who has custody of a child can move up to 100 miles without letting the other spouse know. Senate Bill 1073 would change that. It would require that the parent be notified no matter what the distance of the move is, even if it's just down the street.
"There will be a notice telling why they're moving, and a little bit more information," said Barto. "This is to give the other parent an opportunity to object."
Barto said SB 1073 makes sure that both parents are treated fairly in custody issues.
"It insures that parents with joint custody rights can get a hearing in a timely matter so that neither parent, mother or father, has to go months and months without seeing their child," she said.
Barto said she introduced the bill after hearing complaints from male constituents that they aren't being treated fairly when it comes to child custody.
Both bills have cleared a Senate committee and are now headed to the full Senate for consideration.

What's the Point?
Roger Goodell says the NFL is considering abolishing the extra point because it wants to 'add excitement.' Would this be a good move for the game? Peter King says yes. Robert Klemko says no. Let the debate commence
Earlier this week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league would consider eliminating the extra point in favor of a revised scoring system. Peter King believes this is long overdue and advocates a change. Robert Klemko disagrees and thinks it'd be a knee-jerk decision to abolish the PAT. Their arguments are below.
I was wrong this week. I wrote the extra point is the biggest waste of time in American sport. Actually, the intentional walk is worse. But that's it. That's the only thing worse than the 45 seconds of clock between the touchdown and the TV timeout that was wasted five times per game in the 2013 NFL season on a play that has become the most automatic thing about football. That's three and a half minutes in every game, wasted.
Why I think the PAT should be re-invented immediately:
1. Kickers have made it too automatic. In the past three years, kickers have missed five, six and seven extra points, respectively. That's 18 misses out of 3,709 tries—a 99.5 percent accuracy rate. Out of every 200 extra points, one is missed.
2. I do love football tradition. I'm the guy, remember, who wrote a pro football history book back in the nineties and got ripped for having Don Hutson and Otto Graham 1-2 on the list of greatest players of all time. You can have a respect for tradition and still know when change is logical. And right now, change is overdue on the PAT.
3. Recall the last time an extra point was exciting, or even remotely interesting. I can't.
When the current iteration of football scoring was last changed significantly, in 1912, the touchdown was valued at six points and the "try," or point after touchdown, one. In those days, the kicker was a rank amateur compared to everyone else on the field, and the PAT was always in doubt at different levels of football. When the NFL was invented in 1920, this line of scoring was adopted: six for a touchdown, one for the extra point.
So the PAT has been alive in its its current form for 102 years. Are we sentenced to live with it forever? Can we not change a rule that clearly has outlived its usefulness?
Or, put another way: If you were inventing the sport of football today, and you were putting a scoring system into play, would you adopt a rule for scoring that was 99.5% efficient? Would you adopt a rule for a highly competitive game that was absolutely uncompetitive?
I raised this point about Stephen Gostkowski this week in The Season. Gostkowski has made 360 straight PATs, dating back to the final game of his rookie season, in 2006. He last missed four months before the Patriots traded for Randy Moss. Seven years ago. In that time, four-and-a-half hours of Patriots football has been played with Gostkowski attempting and making extra points (360 times 45 seconds per PAT try). What a waste.
So, what should the NFL do? I'm not in favor of what Roger Goodell suggested to Rich Eisen this week, that every touchdown be awarded seven points, and if you choose to go for two and make it, you finish with eight points—but if you miss, you only get six. That's penalizing a team for trying a potentially exciting play, the two-point conversion. What I'd do:
1. Make every touchdown worth six points.
2. Give teams a choice on the conversion. The one-point conversion would be a kick. The two-point conversion would be from the 2-yard line, where it currently is, run as it currently is when teams choose to go for two after a touchdown.
3. But the PAT would be moved back. I am open to any number of suggestions here. My preference would be a true challenge. Say the average spot of a missed field goal in 2013 is from 44 yards out. In 2014, then, the spot for the extra point would be the 27-yard line, necessitating a 44-yard kick to convert the extra point. But I am flexible here. Anything with the ball spotted at the 25 or farther would be okay with me. I just want to make the kick non-automatic.
I don't want to fiddle with the tradition of the game. I love tradition. I wish there would be more mud bowls and Charger powder-blues and crew-cutted tight ends. I do not advocate change for change's sake. But the extra point just doesn't make sense anymore. It's not going to ruin the game to change it, the same way changing the kickoff spot by five yards didn't lessen the greatness of the game.
I've heard scores of suggestions, many of them smart and good, about the PAT on Twitter in the past day or so. It's good to discuss the merits of the game you all love so much. All I ask, again, is this: If you were inventing a competitive sport like football all over again, would you include a play that is the most automatic in sports?
Now, head to Page 2 to hear Robert Klemko's retort…
Peter, I agree with you.
Extra points are gimmes, and the game would be immediately improved by narrowing the goal post, setting the kicks at an angle, moving back the extra point or eliminating it all together.
It's a non-play, and it's unnecessary in today's NFL. Even former Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff grudgingly agrees.
"I don't like eliminating more special teams plays, and the declining importance of special teams is why I've turned down offers to go back to the NFL," Westhoff told me, "but if I were a head coach, I would not be opposed if they made that change. The kick doesn't matter anymore."
It's a fine and obvious point, but it doesn't take into account the long view. There are many precedents in football which illustrate why reactionary, knee-jerk rule changes are never the way to go.
Here's my favorite:
By 1940, the center-QB exchange had evolved from the center kicking the ball back with his heel, to rolling the ball on the ground back to the quarterback with one hand, to an elevated snap invented by John Heisman. In 1893 as coach of Buchtel College, Heisman taught his center to snap the ball in the air to accommodate his very tall quarterback of the time. Then, in 1940, Bears coach George Halas had an idea, which for all intents and purposes killed Heisman's gun. His center snapped the ball to the quarterback standing directly behind him, and in the NFL Championship that year the Bears put up 73 points on Washington, rushing for 381 yards and passing for 138. This would be the way football was played for as long as anybody could foresee.
And what might the NFL look like now if the decision-makers of yesteryear looked at their sport the same way those who would change the extra point today see things? Undoubtedly, they would have deemed the QB-center exchange too easy. By the late-1950s, with 20 years of 99% execution, what would have been the point of a snap? Why not just scrap the formalities and let the quarterback start with the ball in his hands? It would have sped up the game, and probably saved the necks of more than a few centers.
And if they had gone ahead and killed the snap, the consequences would have been endless.
Niners coach Red Hickey never would have introduced the modern shotgun in November of 1960 as a way of escaping a scary Colts pass rush. Tom Landry never would have improved on it with Dallas in the '70s, despite being mocked endlessly by a football community still stuck under center. We would know nothing of countless schematic innovations which led to the offenses of Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson, who thrive in diverse, shotgun-heavy attacks, borne of the patience of men who recognized decades ago that football strategy was in its infancy.
Suppose we take the same long view on extra points?
During the 2013 regular season, a little under half of the 69 two-point conversion attempts were successful, and in 2012, exactly half worked. When it was tried, it was always late in a game—only three times did teams go for two in the first half of games this season. Going for two points is a big risk when the average team scores 23.4 per game. Plus or minus two points constituted an even bigger risk in 1999, when the average team scored 20.8 per game.
It stands to reason the two-point conversion will become more and more enticing as rule changes such as the defenseless receiver rule and the constantly evolving safety bubble around the quarterback raise scoring every year. When Chip Kelly's offense at Oregon was scoring 50 points a game, he occasionally went for two in the first quarter, because why not? If your offense is above average, and the average offense converts 50% of the time, odds are your risk is going to be rewarded.
And if it isn't? Two points is still a drop in the bucket when you're scoring 50 points per game. Plus, as a safeguard, Kelly would often line up in a gadget formation, and revert to a kicking formation if the defensive front wasn't conducive to the plan.
If the NFL were to continue on its path to higher and higher scoring, one can assume coaches will eventually take Kelly's college strategies to heart. And such operations would be impossible if the NFL did something short-sighted like, say, eliminate the extra point, or ask teams to declare whether they're going for one or two after a touchdown, which would have to be the case in the event of the extra point kick being pushed back.
I proposed this theory to Westhoff, who agreed.
"I like it. I do think that offenses will go for two more as scoring rises, and that really does make the extra point situation more crucial," he said, "The problem is, coaches are still stuck in the old thing a little bit. They ignore the odds and play it safe."
Indeed, instead of coaches attempting more conversions as NFL scoring rose at the turn of the century, they attempted fewer. Those brave '99ers called for 80 two-point conversions that season, 11 more than NFL teams attempted in 2013. No doubt, this is evidence of the NFL's group-think malady, which holds that widespread innovation is preceded by a lone boatsman riding against the current. It will take a maverick—a Heisman or a Hickey or a Landry—to buck the NFL trend and make the extra point an exciting proposition once again.
Until then, let's be patient.
Touchdowns should be 2 points. Field goals should be 1 point. Safety should also be 1 point.
This way the anti-climatic extra points are removed and the games have a greater chance to be
tied and go into overtime...very exciting. Maybe we will have an overtime Super Bowl someday.
You never know.
Here's an idea. Instead of having to declare whether you are going to go for 2 points and have the ball on the 2 yard line or (as in preseason) or you have to say you are going to kick the extra point, thus the ball is placed further away. This requires a declaration as to what is going to happen - virtually eliminating any chance for a fake.
How about we move the ball to the 1 yard line and let teams do what they want with it. They could kick the PAT or go for 2 points. The ball being closer would likely encourage going for 2 more and also keep the viability of a fake PAT alive.
This would not help with the almost certainty of scoring the PAT, but I imagine you'd have a lot more teams going for 2 points....and that could be a lot of fun!
most agree PAT is boring. moving back adds little excitement or strategy. Football is the BEST sport because it includes so many facets of athleticism, strategy and odd ways of scoring, winning and losing. To add to this winning recipe, the PAT should be attempted from the place where the ball crossed the goal line, and the ability to score 1, 2, or 3 points should be awarded based on the width of the uprights. In this way, a TD scored in the middle of the field (more difficult) would be rewarded by the ability to kick from dead center making it easier to go for 2 points or even 3 points. The NFL could easily cover the increased cost of automatic mobile uprights. All of sudden the PAT becomes a very exciting play potentially worth 3 points. Increased strategy is added to the game in that all of sudden, just keeping the offense out of the end zone is not enough, you must force them to the sidelines so that if they do score, they will have to attempt the PAT from an acute angle making a 2 or 3 point try difficult.
According to what I've heard, and I'm not sure if this is true or not, one reason for doing away with extra points is that it could help alleviate the head trauma issue. If that is the case, then I propose trying the extra point in the same sort of manner they do in rugby. Place the ball on the 20 yard line and just let the kicker kick it from there. If kicking tees were disallowed and you needed a holder, that would make it more of a challenge. That would be a 30 yard kick, still fairly easy for an NFL kicker, but not automatic. The special teams players would just line up on the field before the extra point attempt, and then take kickoff position after the attempt. This would eliminate time wasted shuttling players on and off the field for the kickoff.
The problem with eliminating the extra point is that you run the risk of losing the "foot" in football. When Americans first started playing football in the 1860's, a touchdown counted for nothing and you only scored goals by kicking the point after touchdown. The kicking game was, and was always meant to be, an important element of football. If you can rationalize eliminating the PAT, you could probably also rationalize eliminating field goals and punting. Without the kicking game, you could also change the shape of the ball. The sport could be called "handball", and you could start playing it with something that looks like a jart. This is a road we don't want to go down.
@skanee00 it's a common misconception that football got its name from kicking. In fact, the term comes from the fact that it's played on foot, as opposed to on horseback. In the middle ages there were many forms of football played in England and in many the ball was hardly ever kicked. They were more like brawls with the ball carried and thrown.
What they should do is eliminate the kick, but not the play. Extra points would be worth one point, but it have to be run or passed in. That would put drama back into the game and make the extra point something you don't change the channel during.
I love the idea of scooting the extra point back farther rather than eliminating the kick all together. I think a solid 30-35 yard kick could do it. I mean the one idea of making it an automatic 7 then if they go for 2 then they could loose a point is okay but then it takes the tradition out of the game. I know many of the kickers would make many of these extra points but I think then it doesn't make the kick automatic cause the kicker could pull or push the ball off to the left or right. I hope the NFL considers this idea rather than taking out it out totally.
Love your idea. It will add a new level of interest to the extra point kick to move it back to the 20 or 25. I would allow the "kicking team" to have to option of a fake, with a succesful "touchdown" worth two points. Some offenses prefer to have more open field for the passing game anyway. Of course, you have to allow the other team two points if they are able to intercept a pass or field the kick cleanly and then able to bring it back the other way for a score. I would also move the 2 point conversion attempt back to the 5 so that it is challenging enough that the coach has a real decision to make. Overall I agree. Make the PAT more fun and challenging, don't just dump it.
What they should do is get rid of the Pro Bowl. It's useless and it takes the chance of hurting someone with an ankle injury.
"Until then, let's be patient." Lol. Yeah. The success rate since 1990 is only almost 99% . Let's wait until it's AT LEAST 105% (http://www.sportingcharts.com/articles/nfl/how-many-extra-point-kicks-are-missed-on-average-in-the-nfl.aspx)
Do you really think the success rate of going for two points is going to increase much? I think over time it DECREASES, because defenses just keep getting better.
Of course, if they keep calling PI when a DB breathes in the wrong direction, the success rate might approach what we see with kicks.
@GeoffFitz I've seen missed field goals, but not PAT's. They should do away with the extra point and make them go for 2. It will be more exciting.
If the extra point is made harder, or eliminated altogether, then it is more likely that more overtimes and more ties will occur. For example, with extra points, the following scores (up to 20) are relatively rare because of the need for a safety. 2, 4, 5, you could argue 19 is very rare also. Without an extra point, or more difficult ones that increase the likelihood of a 2-point attempt, then the rare numbers are 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 13, 17. In other words, out of 20 possible scores, there are 4 unlikely scores in the course of a game (20%) with the extra point as an automatic, and 7 (35%) without it. I haven't done frequencies for higher scoring games, but they would also be affected.
Taking a point away once earned seems wrong. The comment of a live ball if blocked does make it interesting although that would lead to more injuries.
Also, my guess is that coaches and players like the extra minute to plan adjustments and kickoffs after the score. For those reasons, I don't see the benefit of a major game change to save 10 minutes a game.
More importantly, how often has a missed PAT been the difference in the game? A TD or FG is exciting because it is often the decisive score to resolve the game. Since the PAT is almost never missed, it doesnt provide excitement for the game outcome.
A quick review of memory suggests one time I can ever recall the missed PAT in an NFL game mattering: Lions vs Jets, the Lions go up early and on their 3rd TD, their place kicker is injured and Ndomakong Suh has to take the PAT and it is off the upright, no good. The Jets came back to tie it at 20-20, and then win in OT.
95% success means that 5% miss. there is your excitement. Why must excitement always be on the offense? Why change the essence of the game and turn it into something you don't recognize?
Even if it's 99.5% accurate, why not use the college rule, the ball is live if blocked, the defence has a chance (however small) to score 2 by running it back?
So the maximum swing on a PAT is 3 points (1-2). You could finesse this more, e.g. also move the distance of the kick, not allowing the defence to score on a conversion attempt to make conversions more attractive (smaller chance to gain 2 but guaranteed defence won't score), etc.
Make the kicker kick it backwards with his heel.
Peter King is an imbecile.
It has been at least fifteen minutes since the league's made sweeping rule changes. And I get it. Being paid to watch this stuff, King and Goodell can't just go to the bathroom, let the dog out, make a phone call, go the kitchen, stretch their legs, or ... oh ... change the channel :)
Imagine being stuck having to watch the ten minutes of commercials separating the touchdown, ( god forbid a review ) the extra point, the kickoff (which is mostly a joke now as well), and finally ... the next possession. Admittedly I do wander off some Sundays ... only to find it half-time upon my return to the couch. Study the impact before making another Kneejerk rule change please.
I like Peter King's idea. It's like moving the Kickoff back. The extra point doesn't go away, but it makes it more interesting. On the other hand eliminating it all together (ie Goodell's thought) is fine too. The end result is the same. 7 points on 199 out of 200 touchdowns. We just get 4 hours of our life back from watching a boring extra point.
And shortening an NFL game isn't the worst idea ever...
So, I'm good either way, but it is time for a change. I don't want to watch something that has a 1 in 200 chance of failure. Not worth doing anymore. Especially on Madden, but that's another story.
Get rid of the K-ball. Make him kick a sloggy, wet cow patty.
make all plays actual plays, maybe a run is 1, pass is 2 points.
Make a 50+ yard field goal worth 5pts before messing with PATs. Think about that for a minute, if you want more excitement... That would definitely add some
Rugby League takes the kick from where the try was made. It makes it very exciting!
Let's give a look at what is done in rugby football, with a try conversion by Dan Carter, no less :
@T-Ray Not only would taking on the Rugby-mothod for "converting" a touchdown be more exciting...the player's association may like it because it's a few less plays for players to get injured.
Take all the players off the field, allow a standard tee (or have a holder on the filed), and kick it like a post-fair-catch free kick.
I have always thought this was the way it should be done. Kick it from where it's scored, and the "automatic" kick goes away.
@T-Ray That was pretty awesome, and crazy angles and swerve would certainly improve the PAT for me.
Leave it as is.
I'd turn the argument around and rather than phrasing it as a touchdown being worth six with a near-guaranteed seven, just consider the touchdown to be worth seven, with a very small chance for the defense to shave a point off that number. That's basically what it is now, and that's perfectly fine. As others have pointed out, the "Touchdown + PAT > Two Field Goals" dichotomy is at the heart of the game's scoring system. I think removing the extra point or forcing two-point attempts would have a much further-reaching effect than King seems willing to admit.
Essentially, it doesn't matter that there isn't much 'drama' in most PAT's - there isn't supposed to be. It's simply a cornerstone of the game's scoring system, with a very small chance of something happening that changes the way the game plays out.
Kneeling down to run the clock out is boring too, isn't it? Maybe we should make that into a penalty to make sure every single play is exciting!
@Snow_Veil King's not saying to get rid of the PAT, he's saying move the line of scrimmage for a PAT back to about the 25 yard line to make the attempt more difficult.
@PhillyPenn @Snow_Veil Yeah, I was aware of that but my wording was poor. What I was getting at was more along the lines of "removing the PAT (as essentially guaranteed)."
I think making it into something with a 60-70% conversion rate rather than 99.5% would add a layer of coaching complexity that's unnecessary to an already complex game.
@Snow_Veil @PhillyPenn Ok, that's cool. But one of the reason's I like it is because it adds complexity. Different strokes for different folks. :)
Just move the kick back to the 25. That would be a 42 yard field goal. Problem solved.
Move spot back to the 8 yard line to make it a 25 yard kick. Not a big a deal for the kick but if there is a lot of wind guys would miss it with a little more frequency. But make a run/pass play worth 3 points. One shot from the 8 yard line is no gimme.
While I agree the PAT is stupid, it's never actively bothered me. If you want to make the game more interesting, I suggest removing the hash marks, or at least making them much, much wider. Plays to the outside of the field would carry the risk that the next play would be tough with players bunched up against the sideline and the defense able to gear up for a play back to the inside. Plus, it would insert some difficulty for teams at the end of the game that keep going out of bounds just to stop the clock. I think the ball shouldn't be moved between plays unless absolutely necessary.
I have an idea that will be of much greater benefit to professional football and football fans everywhere...
Eliminate this absurd MMQB pseudo-website and demote Peter King from "Editor-in-Chief" back to ordinary SI sportswriter. There is no bigger ego or self-impressed, overexposed writer in sports today (except perhaps Mike Florio, admittedly a very close call). Enough of this BS, Peter. Your job is to REPORT on NFL football, not try to foment fundamental changes to the sport. Honest to god, shake yourself! Who do you think you are? If you want to be the NFL Commissioner, apply for the opening the next time it becomes available; your potential employers will tell you very quickly how totally unqualified you are for the job.
@Canuck I get your frustration but PK is not a reporter. He's a columnist. He's paid for his opinions first and reporting second.
3. Recall the last time an extra point was exciting, or even remotely interesting. I can't.
On November 21, 2003 the Jacksonville Jaguars lead the New Orleans Saints 20-13 in the fourth quarter. With seven seconds left on the clock, the "River City Relay" began with a forward pass by the Saints which was caught and lateraled three times before they scored with no time left. In order to tie the game and give the Saints a fighting chance in overtime, kicker John Carney had to make his extra point. Carney missed, eliminating the Saints from playoff contention.
@hubbard0705 So you're saying it's been 10 years since it was exciting or even remotely interesting. That's a long time to wait.
@JasonShaw1 LOL, yeah. That hardly makes a compelling case for keeping things the way there.
Instead of removing the PAT, why not try to improve the percentage of making the 2 point conversion. Instead of placing the ball at the 2 yard line for a 2 point conversion, put it at the 1 yard line. Maybe more teams would attempt the 2 pointer from the 1 yard line versus the 2 yard line.
Dave Dameshek has this right...make the kickers play a minimum of 5 non-special teams plays before the middle of the fourth quarter. Get us back to old school football. Remember guys like George Blanda who threw the TD pass and then went and kicked the XP? Enough of these 140 pound 5' 5" "specialists" (Sea Bass excepted of course) Do you think that in 1900 the founders thought someday kickers would make field goals from over 60 yards and XP's 99.5 percent of the time? Or how about simply disallowing soccer style kicking?
Or how about the decision goes to the defense? We'll let you have one automatically, or we'll make your offense go for three instead of the old two?
I think all TDs should be 6 points, and if you want to go for 2 you can. But move the 2 point conversion back to the 5 yard line. If you convert, you get the 2 points; if the defense is good enough to pick the ball off or recover a fumble and return it 95 yards to the opposite end zone, THEY get 2 points.
And seeing as we're talking about rule changes, make DPI 15 yards and not a spot foul. Too much emphasis is placed on DPI in the end zone, which automatically moves the ball to the 1 yard line. It's far to advantageous to the offense the way the rule currently sits.
@CoreyLivermore The defense call already return the try for 2 points...
@eyusko@CoreyLivermoreIn college they can, not in the NFL.
Keep the PAT! Geez leave the game alone Goodell! If you have to make a change then add something like if the kickoff goes through the uprights you get a point.
Yes: leave the game alone, Goodell. Especially the number of playoff teams!
Here is a simple idea on the PAT or two point try, start the 40 second clock just like another down.
Another changes I would like to see - what is with allowing a team to kick the ball out of bounds when punting and then have the ref estimate where the ball should be place on the field of play. Make the punting team kick in bounds or it is a five yard penalty and a do over!. If a punter can make the ball hit the ground and then go out of bounds, kudos for the punter but it is risky.
Just leave the damn game alone. We like it just fine the way it is.

Our "ready-for-the-grave" patient at the start of these installations was a factory-stock '66 Chevelle begging for much-needed upgrades. You could tell that no one had rolled under this car, as the stock bushings were still in place, as were the factory springs, and four-wheel drum brakes. An unsightly and hazardous combination, ABS Power Brake had in the answer to our failing drums in the form of their complete front and rear disc brake package for A-body cars.
Joe Juliano, the owner, loves the look of his 15-inch Cragar wheels and made only one stipulation through all this, and that was to keep them on the car. Luckily, ABS has a kit matched specifically to our needs. Its kit supplies everything you need to complete the project from 11 and 10 3/4-inch rotors, calipers, mounting brackets, dust shields, power brake booster, and accessories designed specifically for a small wheel combination. Because of bracket fitment issues, the fronts are actually the smaller of the rotors by 1/4-inch.
Our before and after testing proved that this Chevelle was now a much safer, more fun automobile to drive, and that was our one and only concern. Joe is not going to be digging this Chevelle deep into corners or going fender-to-fender on the road course (although it was enjoyable to beat up). Our mission was to stop this Chevelle safely on the street and put the days of braking for 400 feet behind us. Best of all, when Joe finally does eat up a set of rotors and pads, a simple run to the local parts store will supply all he needs to do the swap in his driveway.
The disc setup was also going to help us cosmetically. Looking through a five-spoke and getting a face full of rusty drums isn't anyone's idea of a gorgeous setup. It just so happened that our gold calipers matched the paint so much so that the final look of the car was absolutely phenomenal.

K-Edge Computer Mount for Garmin Edge BlackProfessional grade mount for Garmin Edge GPS computers. Sleek design and placement of the computer enhances the use of the Garmin Edge 200, 500 & 800 models.
I absolutely love the fact that I can see my Garmin Edge 500 out in front of me while riding. The K-Edge puts my Edge 500 right out in front of me while attacking climbs or sprinting to the finish. Either way, when you are out of the saddle, the K-Edge Garmin Mount is just what you need when you want to see your stats in a full-board effort. I have to admit, and this is the reason why only give this a 4-star review, the price deterred me for 6 months from pulling the trigger on this well thought-out mount. It wasn't until I found a deal on Chainlove.com that I pulled the trigger. I also would like to share that the bottom screw holding the mount came loose once or twice. Not a big deal, I added some grease to help hold it in place. If you're like me, and you're trying to set Personal Records on Strava or any other App, you are probably looking at your GPS device to give you guidance on how you should be applying effort. Having your Garmin out in front of you in plain sight and not having to look too far down is of great value when trying to attack.
Great design. Keeps Garmin secure over rough terrain.
This really cleaned up my stem area and made it easier to check speed, mileage etc while riding. It also made room for my gel flask.

I've had a Lone Star quilt on my mental to-do list since I started quilting…and seeing a block Elizabeth posted last week in Instagram gave me a push to do it.
(The block before squaring it up)
I thought this would be a bomb (not the bomb…aaaa bomb)…but it actually went together pretty easy.
The diamond strips are 1.5" cut and the red border strips are 1" cut. I realized while making this, that my seams matched up better when I didn't pin at every seam. It might have something to do with the angled seams, being able to ease the fabric in as I go, or being able to feel where the seams intersect as I sew.
Or maybe it's all in my head and I just hate to pin.
After I tucked my kids in bed I spent over an hour trying to figure out the math to make this block…and after I'd wasted an hour of my "Mom" time…I did a search online and found some great tutorials!
I used this tutorial for making the center portion….I made mine a bit scrappier.
I used this tutorial for adding the borders and finishing the block. She also has a handy chart to figure out different sizes and how bit to make your background blocks.

The Gunflint looks great, is very comfortable in hand, and is really powerful. Goes out in the canoe every time I do. Full disclosure: I received my paddle from Sanborn as a gift for some photos I did for them, and I had also used them prior to that. I have a Gunflint with the 14° bend from the blade to shaft. The weight is not ideal for an ultralighter, but it's still really comfortable, and definitely better than the cheaper paddles I've used. I really like the oiled grip.

Lots of day paddling. I'm a sea kayaking instructor.

Bending Branches Infusion
Great paddle very light. Bright color (I like to be seen on the water), if you know what I mean. Nice tapered grip. I have had this paddle and several other brands over the years and now it seems I always grab the Infusion over the others. It has a lot of miles on it and other than a few scratches on the blade it looks and acts as if it was brand new. Love how light this composite paddle is. The handles are slightly oval rather than round, which helps with maintaining grip position. Full review

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - When it comes to football, Andre Johnson is closer to the end than the beginning.
It's a realization that both the Houston Texans and the 33-year-old Johnson probably understand.
It's also the reason the Texans aren't about to bend over backward and guarantee any part of Johnson's remaining, big-money contract, which runs through the 2016 season and includes base salaries of $10 million (2014), $10.5 million (2015) and $11 million (2016).
It's a thin tightrope to walk for Houston because Johnson is one of the best receivers in NFL history and perhaps the greatest player in franchise history. Since arriving in south Texas as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 draft, the Miami native has piled up 913 receptions, seven Pro Bowl nods, four All-Pro berths and four team MVP awards.
Like a lot of players over the years Johnson tried to push the money issue early in the offseason and garner more guaranteed dollars by bypassing the Texans' early OTAs.
Things seemed to get at least a little less contentious, however, after the star receiver met with new coach Bill O'Brien and made plans to return if the franchise agreed to ante up the $1 million workout bonus he was scheduled to receive by participating in the offseason program.
Instead the Texans have played hardball and refused to give Johnson the check despite his offer to ramp up his workouts with the team in order to make up for the missed time.
That's the definition of penny wise and dollar foolish when you consider that Houston does indeed want Johnson in the fold for 2014.
The rift over the workout bonus has fueled Johnson's desire to look elsewhere and he and his camp are now working out and "not thinking about the Texans," according to NFL.com.
It also has Johnson focusing on his football mortality and coming to the conclusion that the Texans are in the middle of a rebuilding process, something he may not want to take part in as this stage of his career. Potential contenders like New England and Carolina seem like much better fits for the veteran, at least on paper.
"I don't know. I can't answer that question," Johnson said last week when asked if he would be playing for Houston in Week 1. "Hopefully. We'll see what happens. Training camp's three weeks away, so we'll see what happens."
It's hard to understand the Texans and their thought process here.
To be fair to Houston, understand Johnson has gotten over $18 million in signing bonuses already and didn't abide by the terms of his deal. Acquiescing to that would be a very bad precedent to set from a business standpoint. Meanwhile if the Texans were to trade him, the team would be on the hook for nearly $12 million in dead money.
At the end of the day Houston also holds the hammer for this season. Johnson can be fined $30,000 a day for missing training camp and if he stays home for the regular season, he will sneezing at $588,235 a week.
Still, Johnson isn't Joe Schmo. His on-field resume speaks for itself and he has always been a team guy, restructuring his contract three different times in order to help Houston with other salary-cap matters. The leverage matters but common sense also says having an unhappy employee show up while resenting everything around him is never a healthy environment.
In anyone has built up equity with Texans owner Bob NcNair and general manager Rick Smith over the years, it's been Johnson. That said, O'Brien has no history with the receiver and arrived in Houston facing the rebuild so he likely sees the star as a descending player who will be a financial albatross in 2016 when he turns 35.
From that purely financial standpoint, the Texans' should be formulating their exit plan in regards to Johnson, but sports isn't like other businesses.
When a transcendent player helps build your brand, a franchise will often bite the bullet, swallow hard and cut checks for past performance rather than future returns. It's the nature of the industry.
Johnson is the Derek Jeter of the Texans, but he's being treated like he's the Alvaro Espinoza, and that's just bad business.

As we commemorate 20 years of serving our guests and emerging along the way as India's most preferred airline, do join us on our little flight down memory lane as we relive the past and look ahead towards a bright future.
Following Jet Airways' success story in the Indian skies and the growing liberalisation in the industry, we embarked on the first phase of international expansion in March 2004 with the commencement of flights between Chennai and Colombo. We thus became the first private Indian airline to fly to international destinations, setting a benchmark for other airlines to emulate in the Indian civil aviation sector. Chennai-Colombo was followed in quick succession by the launch of flights from Delhi to Kathmandu in May 2004. By late 2007, Jet Airways had opened new international routes to important tourist and business traffic destinations such as Singapore, Bangkok, and London, and flown over 75 million passengers.
The induction of newer, next generation aircraft enabled us to further upgrade our product offerings on the longhaul international routes and add more destinations to our network. On August 5, 2007, we commenced operations to Newark via Brussels, becoming India's first private sector airline to operate scheduled services across the North Atlantic quickly followed by another daily long haul Trans-Atlantic flight to Toronto.
The choice of Brussels as our European hub was a strategically important decision in the long run due to its geographic location. It was accompanied by our signing a wide-ranging marketing agreement with Brussels Airlines to work closely in providing our guests with seamless connections to and from Europe, USA, Canada, Africa and India. In the last five years we have enhanced connectivity around the world through codeshare partnerships with several reputed airlines including Air Canada, ANA, American Airlines, Kenya Airways, Qantas and United Airlines. We also provide world-class frequent flyer benefits to our guests through alliances with major airlines such as Air France, Alitalia, Cathay Pacific, Dragonair, Emirates, Gulf Air, Lufthansa and Virgin Atlantic.
The success of our international product and service is evidenced by the rapid pace at which we have grown in the overseas air travel market. By April 2008, our international operations had expanded exponentially to include flights to Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Jet Airways' reputation as one of the fastest-growing airlines in the world was further enhanced in 2008 with our foray into the Gulf, which has proved to be an important sector for us due to the high trade and tourism between India and the Gulf region. Constantly monitoring guest preferences is a priority for us, and this has lead to the addition of multiple new frequencies and routes from cities across India to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait, Muscat, Riyadh and Sharjah.
As we look back at the last two decades, we feel satisfaction and justifiable pride at having grown from being India's best and most preferred domestic airline to India's premier international airline with flights to 72 destinations that span the length and breadth of India and beyond.

The 180-degree adjustable Vari-Jet micro sprayer is available with 13" spike, 12" PE micro tubing and ¼" barb. The micro sprayer has a flow rate of 0-31 GPH @ 10 to 30 PSI with a spray pattern of up to 10' radius. This series of adjustable sprayers has no moving parts and can be used in home gardens for groundcover, flowerbeds and trees.
The Drip Store has a wide range of adjustable micro sprayers and jets to meet all of today's requirements for micro irrigation needs. Built-in adjustable flow control to control the distance or radius can adjust the water flow from 0 to 31 GPH and the diameter up to 26'. The no moving parts adjustable micro sprayers can be used for a wide range of applications and are available with 90°, 180° and 360° patterns for small to large diameter and watering that requires small droplet size with low precipitation rates. When low volume overhead irrigation is desired for an area where drip emitters are not practical and micro sprinkler diameters and moving parts are not required nor preferred, the adjustable micro sprayer may be what is needed. Like micro sprinklers, micro sprayers and jets are available in a wide variety of styles, flow rates, diameters, and configurations. Like micro sprinklers, they operate at low pressure and require a filter to protect the small orifice of the adjustable sprayer from clogging. The main advantage of adjustable micro sprayers to some users could be the lack of moving parts and the feature of adjustable flow rates.
