I'm a basketball guy, but I like to think that I know at least the rudiments of football rules. But I came across this today and couldn't believe it was true. It relates to the NFL, not college or FED, sorry. But NFL is the only football I watch. Here's what I found.

Just curious. Thanks for any help. |

From the NFL rules digest: Timing 8. With the exception of the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will be restarted following a kickoff return, a player going out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, or after declined penalties when appropriate on the referees signal. |

With regards to Troy Aikman. My 2 year old has more rules knowledge than Aikman. There was an onside kick last week and he was going on about the kicking team could have picked up the kick off the bounce and ran for a TD. Anyone with a small amount of football knowledge knows the kicking team can't advance a kick. After listening to Aikman all year I'd put him just above Theisman for their lack of knowledge. I think all them concussions knocked any sense he had right out the door.

Now I know I'll have an onside next year that the kicking team tries to advance, and our crew will get hell for blowing it dead. |

We all know this but name recognition is big in the world of sports broadcasting. Maybe we should start calling the announcers "whosiewhatsit" or "what's his name".

I despise Theisman. He is the most ignorant out of all of them. He and Tim McCarver. Yuck!
I don't know if many of you saw it but a few weeks ago on Officials Review on the NFL Network, there was an intentional grounding call in a Dallas game, and I guess during the broacast Theisman was going nuts. Theisman said it shouldn't have been called because the receiver ran the wrong route. Mike Pereira responded, "Well, we actually know what the rule is...." Priceless!

I believe the play clock actually begins when the ball becomes dead, just like when the ball becomes dead in the field of play the officials put a hand above their head and this signals for the play clock to begin. Once the ball is re-spotted the Referee will then wind the game clock. But, yes the clock does stop momentarily when the play is OOB's. |

I think this should be clear:
When the runner goes out of bounds, the clock stops. The clock is restarted when the ball is spotted, except inside the 2 minute warning in the 2nd qtr or inside the last 5 minutes of the 4th qtr. In those cases, the clock starts on the snap. The play clock (40-second clock) starts when the ball becomes dead. |
