Freezing The Kicker

I loathe this bush move that runs rampant at the college and pro level.  Just caught the tail end of the Redskins/Texans game where in overtime, the Redskins kicked a 52 yard field goal, but was erased as the opposing coach called a time-out a split second before the kick.  I think that act is such cowardly bullshit, even if effective, which in this case it was.  Shortly after ’successfully’ kicking the 50+ yarder through a chorus of whistles, the kicker let his next one sail wide right.  The Texans in turn capitalized with good field position and won with their own field goal, probably after enduring the same type of bullshit.  (I don’t know how it actually ended because I turned the channel after the missed kick).  The rule needs to be changed simply out of principle.  Freeze the fucking kicker if need be, but do so by having him think longer about the kick, not by having his kick negated at the last second.  Such bullshit.  It completely reminds me of the same bitch behavior when playing pick up basketball and there’s that piece of shit on the opposing team who calls out wildly for the ball as if he’s on your own team.  ”Here, here, here!”  I don’t know how many times I’ve seen someone pull that shit then run down the court in the opposite way to score the easy 2 (or 1 for that matter) and strut back like he thinks he’s the man or something.  It’s pathetic.  Yeah, strut your stuff you coward.  What, you can’t legitimately steal the ball, so you have to fake being on the same team? And you’re proud of that? Christ. Get some fucking skills.  Same type of unprincipled shit in my mind.  Win honorably.  And in this case, with football, since winning at all costs is the rule, take it out of the coaches hands and have the league change this bullshit call.
