Roadrunners catch the train.

It states in the article that:

"Facing the wind and a fourth-and-long situation at their own 36 yard line with 3:51 to go in the game, Coach Jimmy Siegel opted to run the old Fumblerooski play, where center Chop Benjamin and quarterback Argo Figueroa purposely fumble the center snap in order for right guard Callaghan to pick up the ball and run to daylight."

The next paragraph says:

"The play worked as the 218-pound Callaghan chugged his way to a 44-yard TD score, putting the Meeps up 25-17."

The distance from your own 36 yard line to your opponents goal line is actually 64 yards not 44 yards.

Unless they fumbled the ball 20 yards forward without the opponents gaining possession.

Anyone else find this odd??

Here are the Texas 6-Man rules regarding the length of the field from
http://206.139.1.156/6man.htm

"Each team has six players. Unless necessary to use the eleven-man field, the six-man field is 80 yards by 40 yards, with the 40 yard line being the center of the field. The two inbounds lines (hash marks) are 40 feet from the sidelines. There will also be marks that are measured 13 feet from the side lines. Goal posts are 25 feet apart and the crossbar is 9 feet above the ground. Six-man hash marks are 2 feet outside the goal posts"

So it looks like they play on a smaller field than 11-man football.

"with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver"
Job-3:15

looked it up at Bible Gateway, just found it odd that thats the same verse that was used in Mission Impossible, along with 3:14. Ive been looking for a verse 10:45, but couldn't find it in any book, in any Bible version...the chapters just dont get that big, i guess.
