Fed 7-5 "additional" yards

[HLin NC]

So what in my statement is wrong? I realize based on field position that it is conceivable that one or both penalty assessments may or may not receive the entire 15 yard penalty mark-off.

I saw no need to type an entire list of where and when it would become necessary to satisfy his wacky scenario. Kind of like the etrade baby commercial- he's more likely to be mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day.

It makes a difference if either is half the distance to the goal line. Then if it's a single 30 yard penalty it could be a much shorter distance than if it's 2 penalties nominally 15 yds. each.

You replied:

Half the distance is half the distance no matter how you break down the math.

That part is wrong.
