During the KNEE play,

well it's a kneel down formation, so everyone knows.

Typically it's "polite" and "good sportsmanship" to respect the kneel down. That said, sometimes some players try to lay some hits even on kneel downs (and fights often break out when that happens).



Yep that shows the mutual respect that Payton and Gruden have of each other. I thought they were crazy to kneel the ball with over 2 mintues to go! Then again, i have Fantasy football teams with Deuce and Bush on them, so I guess I just really wanted another score! :9:


Anyway, Payton showed good class and respect by calling the kneel down. THen Gruden showed that same respect by just taking their time and running the ball up the middle on 2 plays instead of trying to air it out. It may just be me, but I thought that it was a nice thing to see.
