The "Forward progress rule" was implemented well before 2012. It had been implemented in 1906 and changed in 1932, 1972, and most recently 1988 which brings us to today's rule. A long time ago a runner's "forward progress" was not considered stopped until he hit the ground. Today it is a judgement call by officials when they believe the runner can no longer advance the football any further.

How can you know where you stand without asking the guy?

This is such a common question girls ask, and unfortunatley the best answer is for you to be forward about it and bring up the topic. By not bringing it up you will most likely not progress the way you like. If you have to ask, you are not exclusive, that's a general rule you can follow.


Is it proper to start a sentence with the word 'and'?

The traditional rule is that you never start a sentence with the words "and" or "but." That is what I was always taught in school. But it seems that, as the years progress, this rule becomes more and more archaic. I see sentences starting with "and" and "but" in all kinds of published books: novels, nonfiction books, essays and articles...it's everywhere. And I personally have not followed the rule in many years, and nobody has ever tried to correct me.
