The dumbest piece of sports writing ever.

Perhaps he felt somewhere inside that his decision did not need to be made to win, but since it had been made, a lot of people will forever associate this game and him as a coach with that play.

 

I don't think people are going to think of the onside kick. They might remember it, but it's not going to be "forever associated" with the game.

They should. It is completely unique in Super Bowl history, and totally changed the game.

Great line from that article..

 

Although it was a legal play by existing NFL rules, there has always been an unwritten rule, a gentleman's rule that you do not attempt an onside kick to start a half.

 

At any other time on a kickoff, fine, but when you win the coin toss, you only get to receive the ball to start a half once. You don't get to break the rack in nine-ball 2 times in a row.

 

That would be greedy.

 

What??? Its the f***ing Super Bowl! You are trying to win the most important game of the year, not worry about being a gentleman. Not to mention, if Hank Baskett gets his mind off Kendra's boobs for five seconds, he catches that ball and puts his MVP QB 40 yards away from making it a two score game.
