Another question:

Can a kicker be penalized for trying to be touched or faking a hit by a defender? It seems like unsportsmanlike conduct but I could be reaching here. probably just sour grapes. lol

It could easily fall under making a travesty of the game.

My response to a kicker who gets knocked down by the wind is quietly walk over to him and say, "Hollywood, the camera was off."
