Heh...did not even know about that viral video this morning.

lmao can't say I've ever seen a punter do that before

i would do anything for punts
but I won't do that

this is one of the oddest football games I've ever witnessed. just nonstop weird shit

sick

Michael Dickson has his punt blocked, so he casually picks it up and punts it 68 yards the second time.

Was deemed a legal move on the field 🤷🏽‍♂️pic.twitter.com/1uteTIeetl

there's no rule about how many times you can try to punt afaik!

lol seeing so many tweets expressing bafflement at this. did everyone just assume you got to punt once per play?

yeah but you can't punt past the line of scrimmage which I think he clearly was

You can punt any time. You can even punt, run downfield, pick it up and regain possession. It's just that no one does any more. Used to be called the "quick kick" and the QB was the surprise punter. The domination of the forward pass play made that trick obsolete.

xp ok i wasn't looking at that, and that would be a bad miss by the refs

his plant foot seems like its right on the line not sure if its one of those deals where if any part of your body is behind the line its cool or what

well I personally am in favor of the NBA rule where sick dunks and blocks don't get called as fouls if they look awesome enough. punters never get to do anything cool like that anymore now that coaches figured out you're supposed to go for it on a lot of 4th downs

guess that punter is a former aussie rules football player which stands to reason

well I think that's how it works for QBs right? who knows maybe it is different for punters. no one on Twitter would know that

btw FOX we don't really need to see 35 replays of Russell Wilson getting his finger fucked up. why do they do this

lmaooo 2 minutes on the clock and Geno Smith has a chance to win it

oh he immediately got picked off

ah well nevertheless

lol i said to myself he’ll throw a pick rn

Good for Geno still making a NFL paycheck at age 31. I bet Chase Daniel gives him a high five any time they run into each other.

He looked solid until he didn’t

Actually don’t think that pick was his fault, Lockett tripped over his own feet. Probably should’ve made a different throw with 3 defenders in the area but backups tend not to improvise like that

yah not his fault... but still

This Packers-Bengals game is a treat. I didn’t even mean to watch it. Now I’m worried Fox is going to have to yank it for the local afternoon game.

Pretty shocked they went for the FG on 4th and inches. I guess Crosby told LaFleur “seriously I got a feeling about this one”

You know what they say, give him 4 chances at a game winning field goal and he’ll make you pay

Zimmer and Cousins celebrate the win over the Lions by almost getting in a fight on the sidelines

Kirk Cousins and Mike Zimmer sure have a weird way of celebrating 😳😬

lol what the hell

someone caption that vid plz

Why the fuck is it impossible to upload images with my post? I want everyone to see a picture of the single worst pass interference call of all-time.

This was called defensive pass-interference on the #Browns. Yikes. pic.twitter.com/zqiJoKlUup

That was a fourth fucking down play by the way. God I am so pissed right now.

Tyreek Hill: very fast human being

You think Urban Meyer sent a gift basket to Jon Gruden for somehow coming up with a note from 10 years ago that makes him look less like an a-hole in a comparative sense?

Coaching profession is a magnet for some horrible human beings. I guess it keeps them out of becoming politicians with death squads or something...

you forget Coach Senator Tommy Tuberville

lmao just saw that Evan McPherson apparently thought his first game winning kick was good and started celebrating before turning around and going wha happen

the chiefs defense is a krakatoa-level disaster

Yeah they just look like they aren't as good a team as Buffalo

lmao what the hell was that little animation

wow that was a weak roughing the passer call

Andy Reid is aging into looking just like Wilford Brimley at this point.

NYT has more emails - "Gruden, now the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, casually and frequently unleashed misogynistic and homophobic language over several years to denigrate people around the game and to mock some of the league’s momentous changes." https://t.co/n4oK26UxEW

not lookin' good

would be cool to not have to look upon that dumb ass anymore

Important to remember that he was chosen to do commentary on Monday Night Football which is one of the league’s most visible and sought after jobs. I can’t imagine a single person in that process didn’t know he was like this. At least Urban Meyer’s having a good day!!

this is even better in light of tirico and dungy tripping all over themselves to defend his character on last night's broadcast.

text book boys club, i liked how the nytimes piece mentioned that gruden and allen were both college coaches sons

yup, the large adult sons club. and i will never cease to be amazed at what people will write in an email that is going to exist forever.

and we're done here! that was quick

Source: Jon Gruden just informed his staff that he plans to resign as #Raiders coach.

Would be nice to see some public statements from players and coaches condemning this kind of conduct, but I doubt we will.

it sucks that carl nassib is going to have to deal with questions about his dickhead former head coach
