Korey Banks Ran into a Goal Post at Full Speed
Korey Banks is a defensive back for the BC Lions of the CFL. He played collegiate at Mississippi State. Here he is running full speed into a goal post during a CFL game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. We can enjoy the monster collision because Banks is OK, but that looks awful. Luckily he took the majority of the hit with his shoulder. From The Providence:
After it became clear he had not been seriously injured and his voice was not affected, Banks again suggested Dinwiddie’s pass attempt for receiver Weston Dressler broke an unwritten rule.
“I saw [the post] coming and I was able to brace myself a little, but who throws a ball to that spot on the field?” Banks said.
I don’t know much about the CFL and I’ve never seen a highlight quite like this so I can’t comment on the unwritten rules of Canadian Football. [The Providence]

That’s what you get for terrible goalpost placement, you canucks!

Hey, TBL, your ads are getting really fucking obnoxious.

Did this count as an extra point?

I always laugh at old NFL footage with the goal posts just hanging out in the middle of the endzone

If that was the NFL there would have been 5 yellow flags thrown at the goal post after that hit.

And two of them would have been for roughing the goalpost roughing the QB.

I mistyped my comment, but it’s in moderation anyway. Sometimes things just work out.

So apparently Doc Gooden thinks Pujols will follow Ozzie to the Marlins.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Only if he was a quarterback.

Hilarious.

Are Pujols and Ozzie good friends and I missed it?

If you did, then I missed it too. They seem like polar opposites.

Can someone explain (seriously) why the goal posts are still in the front of the endzone? There has to be a reason for it, though I can’t think of one at the moment.

Canadians are too lazy to add 20 yards to figure out the distance for every field goal kick?
September 27th, 2011 at 2:10 PM
maybe big z and ramirez will join ozzie is the crap i’m hearing on the radio

According to the “internet”
First, there’s the end zones themselves. For the NFL, putting the goalposts at the back works just fine because the end zones are only 10 yards deep. That’s not a ton of extra distance for field goals. In Canadian football, though, the 20-yard end zone would mean teams would have to get 20 yards closer than they currently do when trying field goals. Combine that with the longer field (110 yards instead of 100 yards), and you’d significantly reduce scoring if you moved the goalposts to the back. Given that high-scoring football is one of the CFL’s chief selling points and is pivotal to attendance and television ratings, this becomes prohibitively problematic.
Moreover, the other crucial advantage of putting the goalposts at the front in the Canadian game is that it enables teams to defend against rouges (such as the one that proved to be the winning point in the Winnipeg-Toronto clash Friday). If the posts were at the back, a missed field goal would almost automatically be a rouge. With the posts at the front, teams can put players at the back of the end zone to defend against rouges, and that often leads to ridiculously entertaining plays like the Montreal-Toronto finish in November 2010. Those plays, and the strategy around them, are crucial parts of Canadian football’s history and heritage, and they shouldn’t be abandoned lightly.

Canadians are too lazy to add 20 meters to figure out the distance for every field goal kick?
I’m always confused on how much of the metric system some countries embrace. Top Gear UK is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. When they mention top speed of a car, however, they also give it in Miles Per Hour.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:14 PM
It’s actually 17 yards added. 7 for snap. 10 for length of endzone.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Thanks for the info.

Did you see last week where they took surplus British Army tracked maintenance vehicles and tore down an old housing development in Kent? I would pay a lot of money to get to do something like that.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:26 PM
Shouldnt the Canadians measure their field in meters? Or should I say metres?
September 27th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
ms i have been paid once to tear down a shack, with crowbar, etc.
was fun.
also got to play with controlled burns in a former job. lots of dangerous fun there

It’s on the DVR…
Yes, I would actually pay them to let me work there. I haven’t bothered with the US version. Have you seen it? Any good?
Carolla’s “The Car Show” isn’t terrible. But they could use a John Salley upgrade.

Some episodes are entertaining. The episode last season where they had a challenge to see what American truck could drive across Alaska was fun. And the challenge in Death Valley this season was also entertaining. But it’s not nearly as clever or intelligent as the UK version. The jokes are more sophomoric and juvenile. And they don’t do regular segments like the UK version does. And their car reviews are borderline boring.
I give it a C+/B-.
I watched the season finale last night and then there was a rerun from earlier this season where the UK show went up against the hosts from Top Gear Australia. The anti-Australian jokes were killing me. Jeremy Clarkson arranged for the Australian hosts to be picked up at the airport in a prison van. When asked why he responded that he thought it appropriate that they return to this country in the same way that their ancestors left it.
