But OCF, what does your source with the NY Daily News say about the FG?

Hey, old man, ever think of actually answering the question?

Actually this was very badly played. Too be well-played there would have to be a connection between the question posed here and the questions related to the Minnesota "trial kick." In my first post on this thread, I specifically asked if you had seen this play, thinking you'd try to make a connection, and being just a little snarky myself. But, in the case of the Indiana kick I did not claim to say that I knew what the right call was, I was asking a question. There was not a point of contention here, as there was on the Minnesota kick where you believed one video (questionable angle) and I believed my own eyes and those of the sports writer for the Minneapolis Tribune. In connecting these two your synapses seem to not be firing on all cylinders today. Too much, egg nog? ;-)

based on how the kicker lit into his holder following the earlier miss, I didn't feel a great deal of sympathy for him after the final call.
I noticed that too and was pretty amazed with how bold the guy was going after the refs after the game ended. Don't want to make a broad judgment on someone from just watching a few plays but that was some pretty bad sportsmanship.

OK everyone.......raise your hand if you yelled or at least thought "laces out!" via Ace Ventura on that first missed FG play?

So the lesson here is that while baseball's foul pole is really a "fair" pole, football's goal post is really a "no [field] goal" post.

Also, to quote Peyton Manning, "we're talking about our idiot kicker who ... ran his mouth off".

And in golf, a ball on the out of bounds or hazard line, is out of bounds or in the hazard.

And in baseball and tennis, balls on the line are in, and in football and basketball, they are out. Sports rule are confusing.

Congress should form a joint committee to investigate such maddening inconsistencies. (Happy Early April Fool's!)

I'm not sure how you can look at the picture I posted and still have doubt. Unless you just don't want to believe it. Even if you move the point of view to the left, the ball would still be "touching" the goalpost. Given the angle of the kick, the ball would have been even further outside. I guess we'll all just have to agree this is A-Rod's fault.
Ted, he's still convinced that the FG at Minnesota was good on the DOG penalty

I was at the game. Were you? And, didn't this thread teach you that camera angles can be deceptive? You usually are more receptive to new knowledge and new facts than Monroe. ;-)

OCF, I'm willing to bet one of your retirement checks that I was considerably closer to the kick and upright than you were. And I do not need a camera angle as I was about 65' from the upright.

OK, I'll concede that you were in a better position than I was, but when was the last time you had your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist? ;-)
