In NFL as well as College, you are not allowed to Trip anyone. It s a Personal Foul, and 15 yard or the result of the play is awarded to the other team.\n\nTripping:  Using your leg,to swing at another play in an effort to knock them to the ground.

If I remember correctly from my umpiring days, if a defensive player throws any part of his equipment at a batted ball and it makes contact, the batter and runners are awarded 3 bases, (It's the only 3 base award, and the most  severe) but the ball is still alive, and the batter can try to take home on his own if he/she wishes.  It doesn't matter on the park or the league, it is not an individual ground rule.\n\nFrom the baseball rule book:\n\n7.05\nEach runner including the batter runner may, without liability to be put out, advance...(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril;  c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.

The rule book is unclear - if the ball in your controll and breakes the plan of the goal line it is a touchdown! I believe its different than a pass completion in the open field. The rule will be looked at in the off seasone - like the tuck rule!\n\nJoe

An underhand pass is just a different way of throwing it. It is not illegal as long as you have'nt crosssed the line of scrimmage.

The Fumbleroosky is essentially a forward fumble.  QB Fumbles snap in front of him, and another lineman or center picks it up and runs forward.  Intentional forward fumbles are illegal so, so to must be the fumblerooksy

Yes I think it is. I don't think it would cause problems for the refs though. I think that they shouldn't make an exception and I don't think that they should change the rules. Honestly how would the refs think he is a QB. He will be running different postions and the Refs hopefully have enough of a brain to know the difference by postion. The point though is that the NFL assigns numbers in a certain way. It is for the Fans, the Refs, and the Announcers basically. It also keeps it from the confusion in college where it well just pick a number that isn't retired. Assigning a set of numbers to a postion makes it easy. Then add in that these players are around a lot longer it makes sense to want guidelines.

Crossing is when you pass the ball to another teammate, who is standing 5 feet from your scoring area. It is a long pass, and is legal, unless not caught. If it is not caught, then it is anyone's ball.

No, being a body contact sport, it is often accidental.  Players act out of reflex.  But spear tackles should be eliminated and offending players should be banned for life.

it's when an offensive player tries to keep a defensive player from getting to the person with the football to tackle them. he can push and shove the player to do this but he cannot grab or tackle them, that is called offensive 'holding', and it's a 10 yard penalty.

The official rule (don't know number) is that a pinch runner can be placed in your spot to finish running and stay in game. If there is a runner or runners on base and one of them gets hurt, a pinch runner can replace them but any runner after them cannot pass them on the base path, if this happens the base runner that was passed is out and that runners run does not count, the real bummer is if the past runner is the third out and even the hitter that hit the home run gets screwed because his home run does not count, only the runs that crossed before the third out,

yes, a pitcher can attempt to pick off a runner at any time as long as he steps off the rubber(the little white bar on top of the mound. As a baseball player, i would suggest throwing an inside curveball or an off-speed pitch.

I wouldn't think so. That game is played with only one ball so if another ball happened to be on the field I imagine game play would stop or the 2nd ball would be ignored until game play could be stopped.

They do,\n\nNo NFL player gets paid from their contract if they get injured from a risky activity besides football.  All of the contracts have that stipulation in them

They sometimes bounce a ball in football and two players go for it when the play's stopped and ref doesn't know who'd had it prior to the stoppage. Only thing I can think of to answer your question.

You asked a ton of questions! Here goes.\n\n1. It is not a foul if you hit the ball away from opponent's hand, assuming you only made initial contact with the ball, and not the opponent's hand nor other body parts in the process.\n\n2. Player with ball can not push the opponent. \n\n3. Player can attempt to take the ball away from any position, assuming they only make initial contact with the ball, and don't make contact with the ball holder's hand, body, etc.\n\n4. Kicking the ball accidently results in a stoppage of play. The team that did not kick the ball gets possession.  It is not considered a personal foul.\n\n5. It is legal, thus not a foul, to throw the ball at any bodypart of the  opponent in the hopes of it going out of bounds to maintain posession.  It would be considered good sportsmanship to try to avoid throwing the ball at the face and/or sensitive reproductive organs of the opponent.
