Founder of the popular college football blog Kegs ‘n Eggs, Adam Kramer has also been featured on Fox Sports and MSNBC.com. Although Adam’s football career was cut short because of height and skill-related issues, he’s still able to offer up a very unique take on the world’s greatest game. He currently resides in Chicago, but his heart remains, and will always remain, in Las Vegas.
I read your article about Jeff Long and it reminded me of Chris Mortensen on Mike and Mike. Listen to the link, for a lack of a better word Mortensen politlely b*tch slaps Golic when he tries to put down Long.

I would pay good money to see you and Kevin Mcgrady go at it over some article sometime. His quotes really need to be turned into its own twitter feed
Sorry for the belated response to your February article on the new college football kickoff rules, but some things just occured to me.
If a team has fourth and 11 on their 45 yard line do they attempt to punt out of the end zone? The answer: NO! They try to down the ball within the 5 yard line. The same philosophy should evolve with kickoffs.
Why would a team try to kickoff out of the end zone? Only the best of kickoff returners average returns of more than 25 yards(check the NCAA stats). If kickers aim for within the 5 yard line, their odds of pinning the offense within the 25 yard line are high.
I would see, as in punting, kickers striving for hang time instead of distance.
Adam, this is one of the best written articles that I have seen on BR in quite a while. Excellent work (and good use of groin references!) :-) This is really quality work - keep it up. This was a pleasure to read, which is not always the case on BR.
Adam, welcome to the team. Hope we can get you to to an Army game next fall. Black Knights have not stopped thinking about Navy since the last whistle in December. Seriously college football has issues that we should be developing related to costs, recruiting, injuries, graduation rates, and as Navy said about joining the Big East, the top programs pulling away from everyone else.
