#81.1 – Big Guy, Lil Guy, Rule of the Week and Toss Up




That One Sports Show show

Summary: <h2>Would you rather</h2> <p>Be a big ol’ bruiser down in the paint similar to Shaq, or a dainty little three point shooter like Steph Curry. </p> <h2>Toss Up</h2> <p>Kevin Durant and the Warriors head in to Oklahoma City for the first time this season. Who will have more points, Kevin Durant or Russel Westbrook?</p> <p>Side bet: what is the over under on fouls against each other – 2.5</p> <h2>Rule of the Week: Fair Catch Free Kick (NFL)</h2> <p>“After a fair catch, the receiving team has the option to put the ball in play by a snap or a fair catch kick (field goal attempt), with fair catch kick lines established ten yards apart. All general rules apply as for a field goal attempt from scrimmage. The clock starts when the ball is kicked. (No tee permitted.)”</p> <ul> <li>Always been in the rulebook</li> <li>NCAA took fair catch out in 1950 along with fair catch kick</li> <li>Put back in next year, but fair catch kick has been left out</li> <li>Last successful in 1976, Ray Wersching, San Diego vs. Buffalo, November 21, 1976 – 45-yards out</li> <li>Mark Moseley, Washington vs. New York Giants, November 25, 1979 – Tried from 74 yards away</li> <li>Last tried by Phil Dawson in 2013, 71 yards</li> <li>Mac Percival, Chicago vs. Green Bay, November 3, 1968. Good from 43 yards with 20 seconds left (won 13-10).</li> </ul> <h2>Final Bits</h2> <p>Spring training begins soon and the Marlins appear to be for sale. Some are saying they could sell the team for $1.6 billion. </p> <p>The 2024 Olympics are still a ways away, but three cities are still fighting to be the home of the games: Budapest, Paris and LA. Who will win? Find out in 2020, or eventually. </p>
