Australian punter Michael Dickson puts NFL in a spin after using rugby-style drop kick

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-18/m ... tion=sport

(Watch the video if you don't know what a drop kick is.)

'This guy's insane': Former AFL prospect turning NFL's most prosaic job into a starring role. Australian rookie punter Michael Dickson has continued to amaze the NFL by introducing a drop kick to American football.

Dickson, playing for the Seattle Seahawks against the Bears, stunned the crowd at Chicago's Soldier Field and an audience of 10 million American TV viewers on the Monday Night Football broadcast (local time) when he was called on to perform a drop-kick kick-off.

ESPN commentators Joe Tessitore and Jason Witten were left scratching their heads watching the Sydney-raised Dickson. 'This guy's insane!'

The punter is the least glamourous role in an NFL team — but Michael Dickson's style is changing all that. "A drop-kick kick-off?" Tessitore asked.

"We are going to send our stat folks into overdrive here, but I'm going to put it out there. You tell me the last time you ever saw a drop-kick kick-off in the NFL? I don't know if it ever happened, Joe," Witten, a star tight end for the Dallas Cowboys for 15 years, replied.

I will admit it was really entertaining... and I can honestly say I thought about you when he did it

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #230
MLB DAILY DOUBLE

Kind of a slow day for sports... so it's back to Baseball for the Wednesday contest
Note, these same teams are playing each other on Tuesday night, but this contest will be based on the Wednesday results
I've picked two for this edition of Wednesday Night Baseball DAILY DOUBLE
It's a Daily Double, and you know the drill. You will have to make the correct prediction on BOTH games to win.

INFORMATION
GAME ONE
Boston Red Sox 103-47 at New York Yankees 91-58
While the Yankees are stuck in second place, 11 and 1/2 games behind the Red Sox and really have no chance to catch them... these two teams still hate each other and want to win.
David Price is pitching for the Red Sox... He's your typical SOLID pitcher who has been pitching very well lately.
Luis Severino is going for the Yankees... He's one of their best pitchers, but he has SUCKED lately

GAME TWO
Colorado Rockies 82-68 at Los Angeles Dodgers 83-68
This is another game where the first and second place in the division are squaring up... but this one means something. As of this typing, the Dodgers hold a slim one half game lead over the Rockies, and this series could determine who wins the division. The Dodgers have Walker Buehler pitching... not one of their better known Aces, but he has pitched very well all year, and has been excellent lately. One the other hand, the Rockies are pitching Tyler Anderson... A below average pitcher who has REALLY SUCKED LATELY

The FAVORITES are in Bold and Blue
