A "Walk Off Touchdown" ??

only three? cause we've been a part of two of them in the last two years (LT at fedex, moss at fedex). I guess it's possible, but that does seem a bit low.


and it is a walk off TD. you're analogy to battleship makes no sense at all. and it wouldn't be a walk off kneel down, since the term is used for a last minute play that results in a win when the other team won't have a chance to respond. A kneel down only happens when you're already ahead and just killing time. I mean, a game deciding homerun that's hit in the 3rd inning or the last pitch in the ninth aren't referred to as a walk off home run or a walk off pitch, so i have no idea why you'd think that the term should apply to a kneel down in the first place.

there's some seriously faulty logic in your complaints.

Got it.

Why don't we just start referring touchdowns to "home runs" while we're at it?

Not a bad idea, but I don't think everyone likes baseball or it's terminology and they may get upset if we do start mixing the two sport's distinctive and colorful phrasings.

I see you're having a Tony Kornheiseresque moment here, Beem. This seems like it would be ideal material for a TK column. The football purist in you is taking exception to the adulteration by baseball terms. Recommended listening: George Carlin on the "Football is for real men and baseball is for pansies" issue - will reinforce your view.

However, you should know that there are many terms, integral to football, that didn't originate within the sport. For e.g., "taking a knee" came from boxing.

looks like you didn't get it, despite claims to the contrary. this is obviously going to turn into a worthless arguement if it hasn't already, so whatever, have fun.

There was also an OT TD at Fedex where Dallas ran a flea flicker to win the game.

Didn't the Redskins also win the first ever game at FedEx on a Westbrook TD in OT against the Cardinals?

And there was this game

Using your own definition of "walk off" then my example DOES work. Kneeling down in the last minute also doesn't give the opponent a chance to respond. Sinking the last ship in a game of Battleship wins the game without giving the opponent a chance to respond since his ship has been destroyed. You can go on and on with that insane term.

Faulty logic indeed.

stop being so dense. a last minute play to win the game. kneeling down doesn't put points on the board. Again, you're saying the last pitch in the 9th inning should be called a walk off pitch (and no one has EVER called it that). it's extremely faulty logic and this is why this thread is worthless. maybe i should have appended that it sshould be used for athletic endeavors, cause honestly, no one's going to use it in battleship, and you know that as well as i do :P. you've dug in so far that you're not going to be reasonable and argueing with you about this is just a waste of my time. See the huddle, shane, sunra, etc threads from a year ago. you're not going to change your mind and you're convinced of your own faulty logic.


and you wouldn't call a touchdown a home run. you know why? cause it's already got a name, which is called a touchdown. you're not argueing to change that to "a scoring play that's worth 6 points." walk off may be from baseball, but the term fits, so why try to create a new term when you already have one that works? in japan, a hot dog is a hot dog (hot-o doga) cause they'll use american words for things that they don't have names for, and english does the same thing (ie, buffalo). I have no idea why you're so worked up about this, but you seem to be the only one.
