Not that it makes any difference, but they hardly ever actually blow the horn. About the only time they really blow the horn is at the beginning of the game where they have a celebrity have the honor of blowing it. All the other times you hear it, it is just a recording they play over the speakers.

The question is did those fans have to pay to be there?

Evidently the NFL has blocked the video from the last 2 from being displayed on this site.

I don't have an issue with the "plausible" aspect. I have an issue when you say it's possible because there is no proof that they don't fix games. There doesn't need to be proof that they don't fix games. That is not a valid argument.

In this case, you are suggesting that the NFL/Vegas is committing a crime by fixing games. According to the law, you are the one who has to provide proof of this, no one has to provide proof that they don't. Back to innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.

I think you are taking the 'entertainment' part out of context. According to the article: "One cannot fix a sporting event for gambling purposes; that is illegal. And one cannot fix an intellectual contest for entertainment purposes; that was made illegal after the quiz show scandal of the...

You are right - it's not worth trying to prove your point because you have no proof, which you previously admitted. There is also another term for what you have been doing, it's called slander. I will stick with a little concept known as innocent until proven guilty. I would feel sorry for...

Yes, there was a basketball ref who resigned a while back because of an investigation of him betting on games that he officiated. That is an isolated case regarding an individual, it doesn't mean the NBA is rigged. It more than likely has happened in the NFL at one time or another, but again...

Yes, there is a big question. What proof is there? All you have is speculation - nothing else. I have already shown that Vegas makes a lot of money legally without taking the risk of fixing games.

Organized crime is more than likely involved somehow, since it was organized crime that created Vegas in the first place, but that doesn't have to mean that they fix games. But you are free to believe what you want, but until there is proof I won't believe that Vegas fixes NFL games.

But your honor, other people steal stuff so the defendant has to be guilty too. :eek: So who are 'they'? I assume you are referring to Vegas since that is what you have claimed before. What evidence is there that Vegas has fixed other sports? I realize that there are individuals (like...

The initial post was talking about the longest scoring play (not just returns) which I said could be 119 instead of 118. I then elaborated and said that it would more than likely come from a return, which I have since admitted was incorrect as returns can only be a max of 109 (forgot about the...

I checked the rules which state: He must move onto the field of play or the end zone as far as the inside of the field numerals prior to the snap to be a legal substitution. If he does not, and is on the field of play or end zone at the time of a legal snap, he is an illegal substitute...

I agree 100% that net punt yardage is the most important stat. I was just curious why they treat punting yardage and field goal yardage differently.

Actually you said if the ball is drop kicked it would count from that spot. I asked if a punter just dropped the ball and then picked it up and punted it (which is different than a drop kick). I had not heard of that before.
