Strange...

"In the 1984 season, the ball was placed on the 30 yard line (instead of the 20) if a kickoff sailed through the end zone on the fly and untouched. This rule was rescinded after one year."

imagine it was to encourage kickers not to kick it so hard thus giving a better chance for return. fortunately some very brilliant men figured out you could do the same thing by moving the damn ball back.

I spend a lot of time reading random sports stuff during the season. I think I was on wikipedia when I read something on that this past fall. Odd rule to say the least

Because it penalizes a good kicker? That's like saying FGs over 50 yards are only awarded 2 pts.
