Freakiest field goal EVER

When does it take nearly five-and-a-half minutes to determine if a field goal is good or not?
Watch and learn...

Thanks to Phil Dawson, we now know that curved support bar is called a "stanchion". Who says football isn't educational?

When does it take simplified time to type: '5.5 minutes'... as opposed to that other chaotic mess of literature, which you used? Yes; it will save you from using sooooo many fuckin' hyphens! Ha-ha! There's your educational field goal..., now kick it & learn!

It's called "artistic license", ya big goober. Sure, I could have typed "5.5", but "five-and-a-half" looks better.

*kicks O.D. for a 51-yard, ricochet-off-the-goalpost, bouncing-off-the-stanchion field goal*

Welcome back, btw. :p
