A pop-fly is called a pop-fly whether it is caught or not. To qualify as an out, the defensive player must gain control of the ball before it touches the ground for the first time. If he catches it but drops it right away, it is not considered a catch. However, if the player drops the ball on the transfer from glove to throwing hand, it is still considered an out.
yes. it is where the ball is, not where the fielder is.
A tornado that has touched the ground is called a funnel cloud.
I believe this IS allowed in the NFL so long as the ball leaves the kicker's foot before crossing the line of scrimmage. I can't recall though ever seeing this type of kick DONE in an NFL game. ---- A field goal is attempted when the ball is placed on the ground for the kicker to kick or when the ball is dropped to the ground and kicked once it touches the ground and starts its bounce back up. In other words, the ball must have touched the ground or is touching the ground when the kick is attempted for the attempt to be considered a 'field goal attempt'. A punt occurs when a kicker kicks the ball before it has touched the ground. No points can be scored by a punt. So the answer to the question, as I understand it, is no. No. If a punted ball travels through the uprights, no points are scored. The ball has to make contact with the ground before it's kicked to score points, either by placekick or dropkick.
Boys the Old Flag Never Touched the Ground was created in 1918.
As long as neither of your knees has touched the ground before you go over the goal line, sure.
I think it did once about a decade ago, but from personal accounts, the snow melted before it ever touched the ground
Who has dropped the ball? The referee?! If the referee drops the ball after he interrupted the game the ball is in play when the ball touches the ground. It isn't allowed to score a goal directly from a dropped ball, two players have to touch the ball before the goal counts.
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .

Its called as surface water.
No. They both hit the ground at the same time. This is because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
