anyone saw all access tonite ? he was asked how kept himself in the game with so many TD's and few FG's. He said he still had to do kickoffs which are as important and the extra points are same for him as a FG..but the key thing he mentioned in passing while talking was -paraphrasing here-"obviously if we are up 30-35 points were are not going to kick field goals".
Anyone else hear that or did i mistakenly hear something else ? i thought its such a basic concept which our kicker gets but the mediots keep asking why BB is going on 4th down.

Yeah, I caught that too. Makes too much sense for the media idiots to understand!

Hi, I'm from the media. Could you explain to me the relevance of scoring points in football?

My grandma used to say, "Play nice with the boys and don't hurt their feelings." I'm (sniff sniff) remembering grandma right now and having a verklempt moment.
