Dumb question

The Trevor Lawrence play that puzzled me was the spike at the end of the first half. They reviewed it to determine if the got the play off before the clock ran out. I was screaming at the TV because the review should have been whether the spike hit the ground before the clock ran out. I agree they snapped it right at zero, but the plays not over until the spike hits the ground, which was clearly on 0:00. There should not have been another play (field goal attempt.)

incept: I have never thought of it that way, but I agree with you. There should not be another play if the clock is showing zero.

In college he would be down, in the NFL he has to be touched otherwise he can get up and start running again.

Thanks, Don. I wasn't sure since it was the QB running once he went down, the play was over. I thought it might have something to do with protecting the QB from injury.

I would like to know if every penny in your town has disappeared as they have in the town I live in. No store has any pennies. They have signs at the front door telling you that they don't have any pennies, have correct change, or use a debit card. This happened the day the government announced it wasn't making any more pennies. They ask you if you want to round it off so they don't have to give you any change. Nobody you ask can tell you why they can't get any pennies.

They did that here in Canada a few years back and it is a pain in the ass. The powers at large want a cashless economy and it is a terrible thought.

Where I’m at, many places are just rounding up the change to the nearest nickle. Nobody’s requiring exact change. They pay a fee on every debit card transaction, so they should prefer cash still.
