Yes, and not because it was broadcast in black and white, because the newly married BillyMac's couldn't afford one of those new fangled, expensive, color televisions on a teacher's salary.

And if they did, some would not care.

I am a high school official and all this does is make my job more difficult on Friday night becasue some coach thinks this is okay. It is not...sportsmanship is already at a all time low...this will not help.

The Giants and their coach are wrong. The game was within one score. As long as their is time on the clock, the Bucs have every right to try to win the game...that is why they play it. One botched snap and the game changes.

If the score difference was 9 or more (two scores), I'd agree with the Giants and the Bucs would have probably conceded, but it wasn't.

When I see a fumble one of these this will be a first for me personally. The Miracle in the Meadowlands was a play being run in full and fumbled, not the practice for kneeling down. Totally different situations. I agree with the Giants coach.

Peace

Kind of different, but not totally. Remember that the play before this was a typical kneel. The defense played it like a real play, so NYG got pissed off and ran a regular handoff - and we all know what happened there.

It was obvious watching the game that the defense was coming. The O Line not defending was frankly stupid. Would anyone be calling this Bush if Eli was so surprised he did end up fumbling?

The kneel down as we know it did not start to take place until after that game. Basically the QB snapped the ball and would fall down. That is very different than what has happen thousands of times since at all levels. What they did was legal, but it was unnecessary. If the other team has the ball and they are in that formation, the game is basically over.

Peace

Then why play the last 30 seconds (or whatever was left)? Why not just stop the game right there? Like I asked before - why even have Tampa's defense on the field?
