Did he, technically, receive a punt or did he receive a punt block


Does it matter? The wording says receives. It was punted, it was blocked, it was received by our player, it was then returned for a touchdown.

No where in the language does it say the ball had to cross the line of scrimmage. Never said he had to receive a punt that went 30 yards.

By all rights they punted the ball to us, then we stopped it before it crossed the LOS, then we received it, then we returned it for a TD.

None of what you said matters. The NFL didn't rule it a punt return for a TD. You can slice it all you want, but the rules clearly stated that it has to be officially recorded as a punt return TD. It was not.

The ball must cross the line of scrimmage in order to be considered a kick.

But I think that in order to maintain good business, Olindes should honor the deal anyway and not be so damned technical.
