@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 I think it goes back to the spot of the fumble, just like it does if the offense recovers it on a forward fumble elsewhere on the field. Because you can't advance a ball by fumbling it. That's exactly why the rule makes sense. The outlier is the end zone rule.
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 Ok. Say a QB is on his 25. He fumbles the ball backward and it goes out at the 18. The ball is down where it goes out: at the 18.
Same thing if he fumbles backward out of his own end zone. The ball going out of bounds in the end zone is like being down in the end zone.
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 If you fumble into the end zone and it goes out, you clearly can't give a TD. So it should return to the point of the fumble since you can't *advance* it that way.
With a safety it's different. The possession change doesn't happen with the fumble. It happens with the "down."
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 No, it's a safety. Because again, the rule is that the ball is down where it went out. Which is in the end zone. I feel like you're trying not to understand this.
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 That one makes sense. If you fumble out of bounds, by rule, the next snap would be taken at the spot it went out. You can't take a snap from in the end zone, so it's a safety.
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 But if you fumble out of bounds anywhere else on the field, you retain possession. It's inconsistent. Either change the rule to change possession on all fumbles out of bounds or make it uniform in the opposite direction.
@oracles_studio@MeghanMcCain We can start by creating more uniform parameters for drawing district lines. Basing lines on population density, natural boundaries, city limits, etc., instead of race/income/politics. Then trying to create districts that are representative samples of the population.
@BrendanKeatin12@nddafella@RedsDaily4 I don't know if you singled out possibly the worst rule in sports in earnest or as a bit, but nice work either way.
@nddafella@BrendanKeatin12@RedsDaily4 It's not a "bad take" but the rule is just logic. A forceout occurs when all previous bases are occupied and the ball is in play. If you force someone out behind the lead runner, that is no longer the case, so the forceout rule can't apply.
I don't know how else you'd do it.
@DanielTurnerPTF Hi Daniel, I don't believe this tweet says Donald Trump controls the price of gasoline. Rather, I think it's that he has even less control of it than he did before, and that his recklessness in Iran has consequences.
@steveb7503@tedcruz I have a sincere question: What's the insult that's supposed to be in the use of "Democrat" instead of "Democratic"?
The only time I ever really see it is a signifier of what side you're on.
@JokerJill69@DerrickEvans4WV The bike is on the sidewalk, but it should be on the road. It does not have the right of way, because it is not in the area that is designated for bike transit.
@ClownWorld This guy's being completely insufferable. Though to be honest, he's skeptical and cautious about government officials and their motives and incredibly focused on rights he doesn't actually have. Sounds like a Republican to me.
@Sacco_Unchained@FrogBrotha@WUTangKids@elonmusk Personally, I never had an issue admitting it made some contact. That's what happens when you intentionally step in front of a moving car as a pretext for using deadly force.
