Say you run 20 yards, fumble it backwards 5 yards, and your teammate picks it up and runs 10 yards. Is it 20 and 10? 20 and 5? 15 and 10? 25 for your teammate? I had a third question in a different scenario, but honestly can't remember what it was.

1) Yes.

2) 15 and 10. See Letter D in attached.





EDIT: This is from the NFL Guide for Statisticians. The guidebooks for the NFL and NCAA are readily available online with a simple search. I always download the current ones when I am doing my replay projects with Strat-O-Matic.

Last year, I remember not being sure if I should credit a Rushing First Down to a team whose player lost a fumble beyond the yard to gain for a first down. This was in a game I was playing with Strat-O-Matic College Football from the 80s.

In the NCAA guidebook it said that a first down is not credited until the play is over so no first down is given if, for example, a runner loses a fumble after a 5 yard gain on 3rd and 2.

I always keep these guidebooks around for those rare occasions when I'm not sure how to score something.

The Browns are the Island of Misfit Logos.

What was once a post from The Onion is now a reality. Rex Ryan announced on The Pat McAfee Show that he is teaming up with Dr. Scholl's for a new athlete's foot treatment. Glad to see Rex owning this.

And if you are too young to get it, Google Rex Ryan and feet. Tread carefully lol

Browns fans voted for the logo, so. And by "Browns fans" I mean anyone with internet access could vote, so they ended up with that.

I like the Elf. Very menacing.

But I also like the Bucs "Creamsicle" uniforms. So my tastes have been questioned before.

I may be the only person to admit liking the Broncos AFL striped pj's look.
