    I'm probably the only person on Earth screaming "fair catch" when a punt or even an onside kickoff is made near halftime or the end of game. In fact, when an onside kick is made, do you notice why the kicker drills the ball into the ground?

    Buffalo tried an onside kick against Miami earlier this year by pooching it — to my total shock and amazement. And Miami gladly accepted the gift by having someone raise his hand and call for a fair catch. Stupidest onside kick I've ever seen — the special teams coach should have been fired for that alone, or the kicker cut. Just — plain — stupid! By the way, this is a great blog. I added it to my favorites.

    And some day Bill Belichick will try this I'm obviously a Pats fan …. Out of curiosity, in doing some cursory searching, it is clear to me that the Internet NFL community as a whole is confused about the issue of what Howard Cosell said when he made his various "monkey" comments. These comments may be tied to Alvin Garrett and Mike Adamle but it is not at all clear. Telling It Like It Is," http: Many observers, deliberately or not, overlooked Cosell's sterling record on civil rights.

    Cosell being Cosell, none was forthcoming. Besides a host of reputable witnesses, who note that Cosell often used that phrase, the producers have found a clip of a preseason game between the Chiefs and New York Giants in which Cosell calls another player "that little monkey.

    Mike Adamle, the pint-sized scrambler for the Chiefs, now a sportscaster. Best I can tell, you have the two quotes correct, although I can't find the full Adamle quote anywhere. The full Garrett quote: I was lucky enough to recently watch that HBO special, and while it did contain some actual vintage NFL game footage and commentary by Cosell, there was no footage included of either of his "monkey" comments. Assuming you're talking about the version of the documentary posted on YouTube, there's a section missing between Part 4 and Part 5.

    The footage in question belongs in that gap. Travis… yes I am referring to what I found posted on Youtube in five parts. Who would have removed that portion of the video?

    Man I would love to see that part where Cosell says "Look at that little monkey run. Definitely worth a look. I don't know why that footage was excised — maybe the YouTube poster thefightdoc still has it on tape somewhere. He wasn't any more specific than that. Madden also said the FC Kick was something he always wanted to try as a coach, but never had the opportunity. The last time I looked at the rule book for High School football, a team receiving possession after a fair catch had the choice of putting the ball in play with a snap or a kick.

    In one of the Minnesota games I watched where Cox kicked the field goal and missed, the clock ran out while the punt was in the air. As the rules stated if that happens the receiving team still gets the free kick. Don Chandler kicked a 49 yd FG at the end of the first half on a free kick in Baltimore on November 5, I was 14 years old and was listening to the game with my Dad on the radio in Baltimore. I had never seen or heard of a free kick used for a FG until that moment.

    It was the only score of the half. The game ended in a Baltimore Colts win, with 2 TDs in the last 2 minutes to win the game. According to both the next day's Green Bay Post-Gazette and Baltimore Sun, Chandler's yard field goal came "early in the second quarter", and happened 3 plays after the Packers recovered a fumble at the Baltimore Chandler DID miss a yarder at the end of the first half, and that might have been a free kick, but none of the game recaps detail the play or its lead-up.

    I thought we might see this at the end of regulation of the superbowl. The fair catch was made at New England's 35, so it would have been a 75 yard kick. Yes we thought of this last night at the end of regulation of the Super Bowl — it should have been attempted — not sure if the NE coaching staff was aware but me and my friends at the watching party were!
