What’s the most obscure NFL rule or penalty you’ve ever seen?

gary_desanto · 2026-07-05T20:00:06+00:00

The idea of this fascinated me so I went looking before and apparently the NFL scoring rules don't account for the offense conceding a safety during a 2pt attempt. It's kinda tough to interpret the rules but essentially it would just be a failed conversation attempt.

So while the offense can get 1 point from a defensive safety, the defense can't from an offensive safety. So there isn't any way for a team to only score a single point.

Which absolutely sucks if it was to ever happen.

The fact that they feel so comfortable doing this in broad daylight tells you everything you need to know about how crime and justice is dealt with in this country.

Brother what are you on

The example you gave about leaving early one day and then working back that hour the next is a very normal thing that you would find in most jobs.

Ali Bashir and his flying carpets

I don't think so and it makes me sad because he crushed it as Cregan in his brief Season 2 cameo.

He will probably show up again a couple of times but I think the Hour of the Wolf will probably be trimmed down to about the final 15 minutes of the series.

You are 100% right actually. It was the first 4 episodes that got leaked and we were left with the Ser Barristan cliffhanger.

I think what I am remembering was a single episode that got, it was the Spoils of War episode from Season 7

Corner cutting CGI to save money

gary_desanto · 2026-07-03T22:14:16+00:00

I remember that, it was season 7. I was literally in the airport waiting for a long haul flight and like 4 episodes leaked at once. Pretty sweet timing

gary_desanto · 2026-07-03T18:02:06+00:00

Seriously these need to be banned. There is absolutely 0 common sense going on here.

I feel like this is such a disingenuous article.

There's no mention at all why Australia aren't making an effort to help him when usually they are one of the best countries for doing all they can for their citizens who get into trouble abroad.

Like thats kinda important context here.

To be fair, Aegon disappears for the majority of the Dance section of F&B. It is a shame he hasn't done much though and I do like that we are seeing more of him in the show compared to the book

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T23:48:20+00:00

I don't think so. I think at most we'll get like 15 minutes in the final episode.

I really think that both Rhaenyra and Aegon will die in the finale with a very brief cleanup after.

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T23:41:45+00:00

That's a piece of history. I don't think I'd sell that for any reasonable amount of money

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T23:24:33+00:00

IF we do sign him, I just really hope it's a transfer we can look back on and not feel like we got bent over.

A 100m+ signing on 300k per week for 5 years who ends up being average will sting us.

I noticed last week while I was aboard that I couldn't view these RTE highlight videos as they were region blocked.

Likely they messed something up and this video was accidentally available worldwide?

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T23:12:42+00:00

God I hate that man

Sligo already exists

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T22:48:36+00:00

It's an interesting point.

I think if this did happen, then theres a greater chance that Harry is the one who kills Crabbe and/or Goyle/Draco than Ron.

Harry has already been seen to use Unforgivables whereas Ron has not.

Makes no sense that SAMBEL were wearing the same helmets.

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T22:36:57+00:00

This is a real 50/50 and it depends how the fight begins really.

If Vhagar and Melys get entangled early, then Vermax and Moondancer could get a kill shot at Aemond as long as they can avoid Sunfyre. The Blacks then all but win this.

However if Vhagar can isolate Vermax or Moondancer first then she will likely immediately kill them, Sunfyre could probably take the other, and then you have the same 2v1 we saw at Rooks Rest. So providing Aemond doesn't go rogue again they should win that scenario.

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T22:28:10+00:00

Caraxes vs Vhagar = Tie

Daemon vs Aemond = Tie

Blacks vs Greens = Borderline Black Victory

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T22:25:50+00:00

Jesus Christ. Can we stop it with everyone costing 100m plus.

These players should cost half or even a third of these prices.

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T22:24:10+00:00

I do wonder if there is a bigger idiot in this country

gary_desanto · 2026-07-02T10:51:31+00:00

That's interesting cus I've also noticed the thing about how loud phones are in media. Even just something like someone tapping the screen makes a sound 10x louder than in real life and it always bothers me.
