Why is it a penalty for a football player to remove his helmet after the play is over?
This is known as the Emmitt Smith rule. He was fond of taking his helmet off after scoring a touchdown to rile up (or taunt) the crowd...and perhaps for better photo opportunities. The league considered this to be too much showmanship and created a rule that no player is allowed to remove his helmet on the field during the game (except during timeouts and between quarters). There is no penalty if a helmet comes off accidentally.
What is the rule on helmet to helmet contact?
In American Football, hitting another player with the top of your helmet used to be called spearing but is now called "targeting with the crown of your helmet". It is a 15 yard penalty if committed by an offensive player and a 15 yards / automatic 1st down if called against a defensive player. The yards are added to the end of the play if called against a defensive player.
What is the green dot on Peyton Manning's helmet for?
The green dot on his helmet indicates that he is wearing a helmet with speakers in it so the coach can comunicate with him on the field. The reason for the dot is so the refs can see who is wearing this type of helmet as it is a penalty to have more than one player on the field at a time wearing this type of helmet. If you notice, all quarterbacks in the NFL have a green dot on the back of their helmets.
Can the defence block the punt in high school football rule?
a punt may be blocked by the kicking team without penalty unless there is some other illegal act involved. As long as the kicked ball is touched prior to the blocker contacting the punter the contact is ignored. For exanmple If the punt blocker were to block the punt and then make helmet to helmet contact with the punter there would be a penalty for the illegal helmet contact but not the blocking of the punt.
If a field goal is blocked and a player takes his helmet off before the whistle what is the resulting penalty?
It would still be unsportsmanlike conduct.
