The PAT Has Changed (And Not For The Last Time)

Adam Vinatieri warms up during the pre-game of Super Bowl XXXIX. The Patriots didn’t need a last second field goal, but his 22-yard field goal made the difference in the game. II Marine Expeditionary Force Marines saw it from the sidelines, using tickets from the Cleveland Browns’ Hats Off to Heroes program.

I wrote here two months ago that the PAT changes being thrown about were stupid. Yesterday, the NFL officially changed the Point After Touchdown rule for the 2015 season.

With the title sealed up, Chelsea seemed to take the week off, and a red card to Cesc Fabregas meant West Brom could pile on the goals. Elsewhere, Manchester United could only pull out a draw against Arsenal at home which likely locks them into the fourth spot meaning early-season qualification will be required to get… Continue reading Gunners Secure Third: Premier League Recap for May 16-18
