Demsey still holds the record for a straight on, square toe shoe kicker
Tom Dempsey OWNS that record.
Inevitable it would happen in Denver, Dempsey did it under sea level.
It's been a wild day.
6.4When will sites start offering scoring settings for 60+ yard FGs? Seems like it's worth an extra point to me. I don't see that around too often.
Heh, my 20 year old league gives a point for each yard over 50. CBS can't even score it automatically.6.4When will sites start offering scoring settings for 60+ yard FGs? Seems like it's worth an extra point to me. I don't see that around too often.
IDK who does this, but I like the concept. My league does something sorta/kinda similar lol. Goes 3pts for a made FG. Then a bonus 1-4 points based on distance ranges of 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Don't see that 7 pointer that often lol, but days like today remind me of why I have that seemingly ridonkulous range on there.Do any sites do decimal for field goals? I want to switch next year to 3.1 for a 31 yd fg, 5.4 pts for a 54 yarder etc. dunno why nobody does this
My league also gives bonus points for long FGs, 3 for anything under 50 yards, 4 for 50-59 yards, and 5 for 60+ yards.IDK who does this, but I like the concept.

That is a jacked-up scoring system.That kick was worth 18 points in one of my leagues. The scoring system is a joke, I btched about it for years to no avail. We've had kickers finish top 10 in scoring for the year

Sometime prior to 2002. Can't say for sure as I didn't start using MFL until then.When will sites start offering scoring settings for 60+ yard FGs? Seems like it's worth an extra point to me. I don't see that around too often.

Illegal.Why didn't that Tennessee defender try to jump up and block it from going over the crossbar? I know they were looking for a return but maybe they could've put a taller player with hops. Looked like it barely got over...
MFL does, and that's my main league's scoring system for FGs above 30 yards. Prater's FG worth 6.4.Do any sites do decimal for field goals? I want to switch next year to 3.1 for a 31 yd fg, 5.4 pts for a 54 yarder etc. dunno why nobody does this

Edit to add: It's a Palpably Unfair Act with the likely result that the ref would award the kicking team 3 points.
Edited again to add: And the player would be ejected from the game.

That was worth 19 points in my league. (5 points for 50 yards + 1 point per yard past 50).When will sites start offering scoring settings for 60+ yard FGs? Seems like it's worth an extra point to me. I don't see that around too often.
I was going to say it seems silly to say blocking a kick near the goal post is different than blocking it at the LoS, but if you call it "goal-tending", I'm oddly ok with it being illegal.Rule 12 Player ConductIllegal.Why didn't that Tennessee defender try to jump up and block it from going over the crossbar?

GOAL TENDING
(s) Goal-tending by a defensive player leaping up to deflect a kick as it passes above the crossbar of a
goalpost is prohibited. The Referee could award three points for a palpably unfair act (12-3-3)
You have to keep in mind that it's 2 ppr and has some ridiculous bonuses for yardage where high scores have been over 300 points in a week. Believe it or not it is a very competitive league. Besides the ridiculous kicker scoring it's really not much different from your typical league with the exception of the scoring being higher. The kicker bs has po'd me from day one.^^^This guy's league for GOAT scoring system. LOL.That kick was worth 18 points in one of my leagues.

I didn't realize this until reading about it today, but it looks like there was a 'Tom Dempsey Rule' rule put in place in 1977.Didn't Dempsey also have a steel plate in his foot?
I do not understand your statement because 1962 was not the last year that players could goal tend. It was allowed in 1969 for sure and maybe into the early 1970s. Maybe you meant Owens in 1962 was the last guy to successfully block a field goal in that manner?Photo of the last legal FG goaltend - in 1962Illegal.Why didn't that Tennessee defender try to jump up and block it from going over the crossbar?

I'm jealous, he still got me 17 pts on the day though.Mr. Retukes said:That was worth 19 points in my league.

yeah, but that's pretty terrible scoring, I think.TheNext0 said:When will sites start offering scoring settings for 60+ yard FGs? Seems like it's worth an extra point to me. I don't see that around too often.
