[@deviladv]

@@houndoomdarkrai8926 It's a technicality in this situation, though it's damn annoying because someone has to go get the ball halfway across the stadium. You aren't allowed to kick a loose ball as the intent is for players to dive and recover with your hands in a scrum. Kicking the ball means you can kick it to somewhere else to gain advantage in recovery. On a punt, the ball is dead once someone touches it, but the penalty by rule is enforced because they kicked it instead of touched it with hands or inadvertently with another body part. Refs gotta call the rules.

Makes you scratch your head and think what are the rarest penalties and if its possible there are some none of us have ever seen, they may be in the books but its never happened yet. I genuinely like this concept of rare rules and wonder if they exist in other sports as well, maybe baseball or basketball, even hockey. Looks like you've got a potential video series Savage, awesome work.

[@patriotcents]

Conduct detrimental to the game. It was a penalty written specifically for a fan or someone from the sideline tackling a player that is clearly going to score a touchdown. The referee is allowed to award 6 points.

[@savagebricksports1]

I have one of those in part 2, I had to use a very old college clip for it since it has never happened in the NFL before (or maybe it has, the play by play for Colts v Chargers 1996 says that one happened in the first quarter. I can't find video of this game so I cannot confirm)

[@daltontannery3243]

There is one very crazy rule in UFC, i know we're talking about penalties but just wait till you hear this. In the UFC they actually have a rule that says "you're not allowed to trash talk in the middle of the fight". They never implement the rule cause people trash talk no matter what sport you're in, but it actually happened once and of course it was their worse referee who tried to enforce the rule.

[@sethh5106]

theres a few. Theres the palpably unfair act that basically allows refs to fix an unfair act like say a coach tackling a player who is about to score a TD. then theres the extraordinarily unfair act, which gives the commissioner power to even overturn games if necessary if something insane happens. Anotjer one is goaltending, i dont believe it's ever been called, just added in casesomeone tried it

If the offense says HUT HUT HUT, the defense can't say something like HOOITY HUT-SET HUT!

[@mikedangerdoes]

@@AEMoreira81Thanks for clearing that up. Couldn't understand why defence talking smack would be a penalty. Still seems a little soft but I guess it's better than seeing endless false starts and hearing nonstop nonsense as the D tries to psyche out the offence.

[@SigandGibbs]

But the call was right. If a throw hits an intelligible receiver the play is dead

[@MAGAisacult]

One I have only seen 1x in my life. 2003, Monday Night football, Colts were overcoming a historic 21 point 4th quarter deficit, Simeon Rice was called for "Leaping." Tried to block a FG by using a plyer in front of him as leverage to jump. The kick was no good, Colts got a second try and won the game!!!!!

[@SRMkay]

Leaping happens a few times per season. Usually accidental, happens when someone on the defense jumps too far forward trying to block the kick and ends up over top of the O-line

[@asolom39]

I remember when Bobby Wagner did it to the Vikings and they didn't call the penalty

[@krypticsz4154]

@@asolom39 back then you were allowed to jump over the line as long as you didn't use anyone's back as a sort of launching pad. When Wagner jumped the line to block the FG, he didn't touch anyone & wasn't offsides so it wasn't technically illegal. I think it's been removed entirely now, but unsure.

[@Mike_Takumi]

Not removed entirely technically, you just can't do it over the center, or use/touch another player to elevate. The rest of the o-line is in a stance taller than the center which is both much harder to leap, and also they can see/react to it faster, this does functionally mean it's not feasible anymore.

[@gavghag6109]

@@krypticsz4154 boyzz he just did it again... and it was legal again

[@Vansbaseball]

I love how the first clip had Brad Nessler in it. That's "Mr. 1 Point Safety" right there (That's not a penalty but a rule that happened to him TWICE on College broadcasts and his sound of disbelief is hysterical in a way)

[@AEMoreira81]

And I believe it's the only two times it has happened in FBS (1A) play.

[@sebastiandinapoli3912]

That first one is legit annoying. I played center at the semi-pro level for 8 years and guys on the defense were always trying to yell something quick and loud to simulate the QB cadence. Sometimes it would hit you at just the right moment to screw you up.

[@savagebricksports1]

Thank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to use it next video! The kick was illegal because a blocker kicked the ball at 3:19, you can't kick a ball unless you're punting it or kicking a fg, that's why it's illegal.

[@kmarasin]

You can hear a Giants player saying "He kicked it, that's a penalty, he can't kick it" loud and clear. 42 did it, misidentified as 48 by the official in the call. You can even hear the noise made when 42 kicked the ball.

[@jbj7599]

I had to replay that part too, dude just kicks the ball in the field of play lol

[@sirius940]

"Assisting the runner" is a dumb name for a penalty. Like I guess blocking is penalty now. Should be illegal pulling or something.

[@60anthonyh]

It wasn't always just pulling though. Pushing and carrying were part of the original rule. It was changed in 2005 so pushing was legal.

[@thatguy6638]

I got a chuckle out of that. I don't know what you'd call it... offensive holding on the runner? It's a weird one lol.

Rule was changed in the mid-2000s to allow pushing. Pulling & carrying are prohibited because the ball carrier’s own momentum isn’t bringing him forward to gain yardage.

Fun fact, here's a completely irrelevant piece of information I only know because I'm a Saints fan: you can tell the Titans-Seahawks game at 1:37 is week 17 (game 16) of 2009, because the bottom of the screen shows the Saints losing to the Panthers 23-10 to finish 13-3, which is what happened the season the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV (the 2009 season) (they rested their starters in week 17/game 16 because they had already clinched the NFC's 1-seed).
