Is this "returning" allowed?
I've heard that some teams employ a strategy where when their opponent punts they ball they have someone catch the ball and then run with it towards their opponents goal line. This player is called a "returner". The concept is that a team can receive a punt and actually advance the ball in this fashion. I can see your confusion, because for three seasons Crazy Bob was unaware of this part of the game of football. He did, on the other hand, invent the "fake, fake field goal". I would try to explain that to you, but if I did, I would likely break down into tears.
