    great, but i got a question about the mnf crew they been blowing up.....
    is contain a noun? they keep saying "dont lose your contain" and " they lost their contain"...
    pretty sure it is containment?
    any thoughts?

    If the rule doesn't change, the defending team could begin their drive on the 1-yard line as opposed to a touchback. The touchback seems overly generous.

    The rule should absolutely not be changed. Part if Dan's argument is "the the other 100 yards of the field the offense retains the ball." Well also the other 100 yards of the field the offense can't gain 6 points in that area. So the endzone itself is already different than the rest of the field of play.

    Could not agree more with Terry McAulay's explanation of why the NFL should make no change to the touchback on a fumble through and out of the end zone.
