Oh, yeah. I don't know the rules for receiving kicks in football. I was watching the Giant's game Sunday night and the kicks played such an important role in the game and I realized I had no clue. There seem to be at least half a dozen rules governing kicks and receiving them, but damned if I know them.
Sometimes you catch them and run and get tackled. Sometimes you catch them and don't run and you aren't tackled. Sometimes you let them bounce and run close to them with all your buddies surrounding them, but you don't touch them. Sometimes they go beyond the end zone and come up to the 20 after. What else? Oh, if they touch you, the other team can grab them, but not run with them. So freaking complicated. Obviously field position plays a huge role in all the variations. Maybe that's one that I will look up someday.
