Good to have the major rules put out there, and I really thought the animation that came with the announcements helped people (read: me) wrap their heads around some of the more colorful rules. I know most other rules are similar to the NFL, but I'm curious in particular about (a) the celebration r...

I am going to predict that an unsuccessful onsides kick will be ruled the same as an illegal procedure and the ball will be placed at the 45yd line (although...

If we don't have kickers that can do 55-yard kickoffs we got problems. That said, how often do you see a non-designed short kick? Take out Greg Joseph's last squib and every kickoff in Philadelphia and New England (the two points of reference for week 1 games in DC and the Meadowlands) went on aver...

I think that it would give too much of an advantage to the team going last...knowing what they had to do to win. I think they wanted to avoid that. Oh good point. Is that a statistical advantage or just a psychological one? This is also a good point re the NFL OT. The stats may show that the team w...
