Thank you Jim!

49ers -7 had money refunded (but would have won with the safety)

49ers -7.5 or -8 lost (but would have won with the safety)

Seahawks +7 had money refunded (but would have lost with the safety)

Seahawks +7.5 or +8 won (but would have lost with the safety)

Overall, it's safe to say that coach Harbaugh's unconventional decision resulted in a $75 million dollar swing worldwide with the bettors overall losing that amount (due to 65% of the action being on the 49ers) and the bookies overall winning that amount.

Why are people calling it unconventional? He could just take the ball and run out the clock risk-free by declining it.

"You don't take points off the board". That's why. Mostly it's just people bitter about losing money and/or fantasy points.

[livid]

Yeah but "you don't take points off the board" is irrelevant when leaving the points on the board gives you the easiest path to win the game.

Also, no talk about Bill Simmons' awesome article calling Goodell out for being a shitty commissioner?

[gunnar hendershow]

Nothing more needs to be said, he basically destroyed any shred of respect anyone could have for Goodell.

All fantasy leagues that don't give defenses points for kick return scores should die painful deaths. Yards, I understand, but no points for touchdowns? Fail.

(This may or may not have anything to do with Brad Smith being the only thing making the Bills relevant right now.)

This day has started so well.

Ravens :lmao:

And then people who have receivers who also return kicks would bitch.

That's not really true because most returners aren't starters so the only way it'd make sense to pick them up is if it's a large league like we had last year.

It is really true, because we've already been through this a few times. Though I suppose we could look into a way to reward both defenses and the individual players.

I sort of misread your original post but that's the point I was trying to make because the frequency of individual players scoring return TDs isn't going to be that high. So if you do both, it's not really going to affect a whole lot other than giving points to the D/ST for being good on Special Teams.

How about that RG3?

Wow, Washington D has to stop that.

[thatshortguy]

Zebras have handed Dallas that win over Carolina.

[deli]

Redskins should of won that. But their shitty defense proves the weak link again.

But hey, at least the Ravens got pummeled.

Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere!

[Dan]

:/ Poor Bucs.

[mystikz]

I guess all it took was the shitty Bills D to make Chris Johnson relevant again.
