Still not sure what happened on this play. It appears the runner fumbled, recovered his own fumble, then for some reason is able to run at twice the speed before the fumble for a TD.

Huh, funny enough, we just had pretty much the same thing happen in our league's championship game, complete with how the game logged it as a fumble but with no recovery or further carrying.

Here is a nomination for the ultimate BS way to lose a game. Backstory: a typical field goal fest in 4.5, this was the lone TD and put the team ahead 16-12 (which is what the final score was.)

Yep, a 110 yard kick return by a FB complete with 5 broken tackles.

Hmm, he lacked intelligence and kick catching. Has the bull-ish strength and bulldozed up the middle.

I'm surprised it happened....believe intelligence factors into his taking it out from deep in the end zone. Not too wise so he attempted it?

Looks like once he got going, perhaps, he ran up against low tacklers and made his way through.

Sorry you lost like that. :(

You are on to something, Smirt. I looked at his player page - and this isn't an anomaly. He has 7 TD in 27 returns the past 2 seasons, and 12TD's in 137 career kickoff returns.

I guess I need to hit the waiver wire for unintelligent players with high break tackle and strength attributes.

The first four were break tackle, last was ball carry.

I thought I was alone. Thank God. :P
Bob and Robin (kicker routine) are umm.. 99.9% of every football joke I know.
Thanks for this, I only saw Bob 1x way back in the early 80s on SHO or HBO comedy special, I'm surprised how much I still recall word for word 30+ yrs later, lol.
Thanks for this.

Still hunting for the "KICK! 10 thousand dollars!" williams clip, but this leads into it.
please keep in mind - early 80s. Different times, different things acceptable - so proll NSFW. **** was only swear I caught - this is early 80s coke robin - so pre- swearing robin, lol.
That said, persons looking to be offended just might be offended. WARNING: 80's STEREOTYPES AHEAD!! Please, if you cannot understand early 80s Robin, do not go here. Anyone who knows Robin's stage work, will not be offended.
Hope I don't get in trouble, here goes, hope you smile :)
