It's about a rule in football, but you can win some side bets on. I will post in a few minutes. But this is a cash machine against your friends. Soon.

Trivia questions for your friends, ask them to throw out $20s to bet.
Name the point totals you can make on a NFL score? Seems simple right? 6 points for a TD, 3 points for a Field Goal, 2 points for a safety, 2 and 1 points for an extra point. Right? Or is it that simple? Clean up the bets. Never happened in the NFL, but on the books. Happened twice in college. Nobody really has ever heard about this.
Here it is explained, the only second time that it ever happened. In a crazy turn of events the same announcer from the Texas game was on this game. What are the odds of that?
You’re right. Never heard of it. Being a gambler, thought I’ve seen it all. Had games flip on returned extra points that result in 2. I’ve never seen that.Originally Posted by tgull
True story The name of my main fantasy team for 20+ years
“The one point safeties”
Its the rarest play in sports, more rare than an unassisted triple play.
I was inches away from calling one in a High School game but it was a blowout before halftime so we game the team some leeway. All we talked about after the game was how we should of called it.
The first clip is a classic amongst football official circles. Brent Musberger has no idea wtf was going on in the A&M game.
Apparently there was almost a 1 point safety on MNF a few years ago with the Patriots. The announcers did not even acknowledge it because they had no idea themselves.
does it make any difference that the ball was caught on the kick and then moved backwards versus it hitting some lineman and then the ground and then moved backwards?
Basically you block a kick on an extra point, or there is a fumble on a 2 point conversion. The defense (which is now the offense) gets the ball and runs forward then runs back into the endzone to try to move the ball forward and gets tackled in the endzone. Presumably they are trying to run the ball back 99 yards or so for a 2 point score. When they are tackled in the endzone they are technically the offense, hence the 1 point safety.
Here is the rule, NFL and college:
A 1 point safety is when the team trying to score a 2-point conversion or PAT turns the ball over, the defense takes the ball out of the end zone, then gets tackled in the end zone for a safety.
What I don't know is if this can happen on a punt, or just relegated to extra points.
Another piece of trivia involved O.J. His brilliance was recognized where late in his career he was awarded 8.5 points per touchdown. Look it up

No joke, I used to do this trivia question with friends when I was in 8th grade
