In Response To: More OT Football Decisions (Stick)

Terrell Owens scores on a 78 yard pass (guy covering him fell down) and when he goes into the end zone he sets the ball down right over the line. See video. While watching this the announcer said "I don't like that, I don't like that at all." Really?

Heck, in the dawn of football (like 100+ years ago) i thought you HAD to do this to score, thus the term 'touchdown'. I thought it was pretty cool, actually :)

After hearing many Zeus decisions it is usually 80-90% certain (just a WAG) that going for it on 4th and short is always better than either kicking option.
