Sh#T, My bad.

I do have another question I have done what 20-40+ FB games a year for 8 years and countless baseball games for last 20 years and I really do not really ever remember this happen.

I have seen the ball go everywhere but never a foul tip hit the mitt or hand first and then come lose and then be caught.

Counting this thread we have heard about it twice, right? has some of you seen this more then that? and did you call it right?

There is a "foul tip" in football?

Yes. It involves point spreads.

Lord knows I've had more than my share of those "foul tips."

Well, I don't bet based on "tips" from anyone. But I have found that the closer to the game the person is offering the "tip", the more unreliable it is.

I definetly agree with this one.

Fresh out of college. I went to UNLV so we were always looking for a "tip"....High school buddy is now the bullpen catcher for a MLB team. I get the call. IT's a lock, we're gonna clean up. Between five of us we come up with about $6,000 thousand dollars.

Three of us settle in to watch the game. By the bottom of the second inning we're now chasing 4 runs. Did I mention it's a LOCK. So Irish's statement gave me a chuckle.

Now I pick my losers like everybody else. Einey,meany, miney, mo......
