The NCAA limited this by also limiting the length of a head start the kicking team gets to five yards. That way, it takes longer for them to get downfield, discouraging the intentional short kick.

Football Study Hall did a study on it after the first season. I don’t have the link but you should be able to Google it. They moved the kickoff to the 35, brought touchbacks to the 25 and limited kick coverage run up to five yards and the combined effect was to double the percentage of touchbacks from about 20 percent…

I think one of the things a lot of people miss is that, if you are married filing jointly, unless you have a very large mortgage, live in a high property tax area, or have a lot of other deductible expenses, you will likely not be able to benefit from the mortgage interest deduction.

I’m pretty sure I had baseball cards from this league. Not sure if it’s the same league you’re talking about, but these are the cards I had, from the Senior Professional Baseball Association.

That’s from their original statement, though, before everybody realized what had happened with the stopwatch overlay. They haven’t commented since.

I assume you’ve reached out to them. Any comments at all? Even a “no comment”?

It appears so, yes.

I'm about as big a Bama homer as they come and for the better part of a half-decade I HATED Cam Newton. But the constant hand-wringing and not so subtly racist shots by fans and the media (though not Deadspin) actually have me rooting for him. Goddammitsomuch.

This seems less like the Friday night death slot and more like the Adult Swim timeslot. In fact, outside of sports, two of the three highest-rated Friday night cable shows are Adult Swim’s Family Guy repeats, which air at...you guessed it...10:00 pm.

Nothing that crazy for me, but one of the worst storms I’ve seen was a blizzard in March 2005 (skip to 1:50 for the shot of a tow truck rescuing another tow truck).

Even more than that, you can schedule your payment as a direct debit to be taken out whenever you want. You can do your taxes in February, schedule your payment for April 15th, and walk away.

This actually seems better to require television service instead of internet service, especially if you’re already an AT&T customer.

I had this running on my laptop while my wife and I were watching television and she made me pause the show so we could watch this it was so crazy.

One thing before buying a gift card: Make sure the person you’re giving it to actually has a location of that place near them. I’ve still got a Fandango gift card from last Christmas because our local theatre uses movietickets.com. Nothing says “I didn’t put even the least bit of thought into your gift” like a gift…

‘04. We were over there occasionally, but the “dry” definitely needs air quotes.

Olaf or Carleton? Ole grad, here.

I was watching this game live and I swear I saw him move his legs once. I thought he’d gotten knocked out because the trainer had to say something to him a few times before he seemed to get a response.

I live in Wichita and would love to move up to Kansas City. We put 3% down on our house about 2 1/2 years ago (FHA loan), which was about $4,000. I don’t know if it would work for everybody, but we really like it here.

I can kind of understand the Michigan/MSU mixup, but the Iowas State logo says “State” right there. It’s in the logo!

He didn’t get 35 years because he shot up his apartment. He got 35 years because he was a felon on parole in possession of a gun who tried to escape from jail after they busted him.
