Originally posted by XanthosNZbecause if someone from your team is going down with not much time left, he fakes a fumble to keep the play going. If your team picks it up, you could keep going and fake fumbling until the other team is able to fall on it. They make it so you can't do that, you can lateral the ball to a teammate though.
I wanted to know why. Sorry, I should have made that clear.

Offsides and icing are pretty much the same thing? Bringing the ball or puck back to the other side before the guards can get onsides?
I'm sure there is more to it... feel free to enlighten me.

There are less than two players between you and the opposing goal (draw a line horizontal to each player. Cross that and you are 'closer'π and you are in the opposing half and you are closer to the opposing goal than the ball.
You will be called offside if you are passed the ball and at the time it is kicked you are in an offside position or if you influence play in some other meaningful way.

I'm sorry, but there isn't much to understand about a sport that will likely end with a score of One to Nothing or Three to One in a major blowout.

Baseball is popular in several countries besides the US.
Japan, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Philippines, and Chile to name just a few.

More dumb sports include those in which one guy has got to beat the crap out of anouther
I know that in Boxing one can win if one knocks out the other guy but what are the rules if one killed the other guy would one be declared the winner or would there have to be a re-match π
I've always hated boxing! <GASP!> π²
Yeah, the idea of beating another person till they collapse IS NOT my idea of masculinity!
There, the secret is out.
