[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 535606, member: 7277"] We make you laugh? Then you clearly have no familiarity with NFL rules. Rule 17-2 - Extraordinarily Unfair Acts: [I]Article 1 - The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which he deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game.[/I] [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl-clarifying-rules-trading-penalty-064900926--nfl.html[/url] [I]The situation harkens to 1989, when Ryan was the head coach of the [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/phi/']Philadelphia Eagles[/URL] and once put 14 players on the field at the end of a 10-9 victory over the [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/min/']Minnesota Vikings[/URL] to cover a punt. Ryan, who crudely called the unit his "Polish punt team," figured the formation worked perfectly to prevent a blocked punt or big return. Even if a penalty was called, precious seconds were burned off the clock.[/I] [I]In 1989, the league fined Buddy Ryan and came up with a penalty known as the "palpably unfair act" to cover such egregious actions and others like it, such as a player coming off the sideline to make a tackle. Under the terms of a palpably unfair act, the officials have discretion over what the penalty can be, up to and including awarding a touchdown. Or do something as simple as putting time back on the clock. "You could have the ref do a lot of things," [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/cin/']Cincinnati Bengals[/URL] coach Marvin Lewis said. "The situation is really already covered."[/I] So, you still think you know it all?
