It is one of the most exciting plays in football that can take place. My team just scored a great touchdown and have the extra point blocked by the defense and returned for two points.

In a smart move by the NFL, they have rescinded a $7,500 fine against Giants defensive end Justin Tuck for a hit on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Brooks Bollinger last weekend. Ray Anderson, the NFL's vice president of operations, called Tuck on Friday night to inform him of the change, the Giants said in an e-mail on Saturday.
