1) Field Goals
If a field goal crosses the goal line and is no good it is a touchback. Rule 8-5-3-a-1 says it is a touchback when any free kick or scrimmage kick:
1. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded three point field goal attempt, breaks the plane of R's goal line unless R chooses a spot of first touching by K.
Q: What is meant by grounded, does this mean that if the ball is kicked from the ground instead of the a block it can be taken at the spot it was kicked or a touchback? Please help and be very specific with your answer.

A grounded three point field goal attempt is a kicked ball, either off a tee or the ground or a drop kick, that once having been kicked touches the ground without successfully passing through the goal posts.

Penalty Enforcements.
A)On 3 and 8 from A's 35 A runs for 10 yards. Once the play is dead there is a late hit personal foul on A. Is the resulting enforcement
a) 1 and 10 from A's 30 yd line
b) 1 and 25 at A's 30yd line
c) 4 and 13 from A's 30yd line

I have (a) 1 and 10 from A's 30 yd line
A achieved the yard to gain on the run, which ended at the 45. The down ended with A having the ball beyond the yard to gain so they are awarded a first down. After the play ended, A committed a dead ball foul, which is enforced from the succeeding spot, which is A's 45 yd line. 15 yd penalty brings the ball back to A's 30 where the chains are set for 1st and 10 at the 30 yd line.

B) A's ball 3rd down and goal from B's 9 and there is a personal foul on B after the play. Is it half the distance and 1st down or 4th?

Dead ball personal foul by B is enforced from the succeeding spot. Previous play had ended and the down counts. I'm assuming that the play that had just ended was third down AND it ended at the 9 yd line. Enforcement is half the distance to the goal, placing the ball at the 4 1/2 yd line and it is fourth down.

C) A coach is running his mouth too much, is the signal personal foul unsportsmanlike conduct or just a personal foul?
Thanks again for all your help.

Just unsportsmanlike. I believe that the personal foul signal is reserved for contact fouls.
Hope I'm correct and it helps.
