19th Hole: The Readers Take Over

Sir:
It has been said that the combination of Tinker to Evers to Chance was unparalleled, but I believe we have found its equal in Stabler to Banaszak to Casper!

Sir:
Ever since I learned the rules of the game, I have wondered about the justification for the offensive team getting additional yardage from a forward fumble. For years I've expected teams to take advantage of this loophole in do-or-die situations. It would be fairer if the offensive team retained possession only from the spot of the fumble. This would eliminate disgusting endings such as in the Charger-Raider game.
