	Say bye to the the halo Increase Your PM Length

This is a great day for college football.

The 2 yard halo rule on punts has been abolished and it'll all be dependent on the timing of the coverage team. I had this idea long ago bout time they do it.

What rules do you love and hate for football?
(real football not soccer crap!)

I didn't know about the halo myself.

At first look, I thought of a halo like a guy I knew who was in a motorcycle wreck, then thought maybe a walk on the wild side was being considered.

I thought the entire point of explaining would be educating those who don't know?

a punt is when a team doesnt get the first down (10 yards from where they started) by the 4th down and decide to punt or kick it away to put the other team further away from their goal

What was the motivation behind the "halo"?

I never saw a problem with the way things are: return it if you think you can, and otherwise call a "fair catch"...

A Punt Returner catches ball and tries to run to the opponents goal.
Average success is maybe 3 yards.

What's a "down", and what's a yard?

Ok, ok, I am kidding, I actually know these. I think.

the halo just didnt let the other team get right on you before you could catch it. now you still hafta let em catch it but u can get right up to him while he is and nail him as soon as he catches it.

you DO know yard but down is just like a term for a "try" or "attempt" but a 3 yard return sucks...avg is liek 10 and a good is like 20+

But that's also why players can call a "fair catch", right, so they won't get tackled right after catching the ball?

ya fair catch is just so he can catch it without getting hit and no being able to return it

Ah, I see. I saw some NFL games on tv some time ago, and the rules are quite simple but it's the terms that confuse me

But don't wake me when there is a game on tv

Now baseball on the other hand...

Some pro football players sometimes take ballet dancing lessons to increase balance, flexibility and coordination. I wouldn't be surprised if most kickers do, because as you have shown, the moves are very similar.
