Can someone explain to me why teams always choose to punt after a safety instead of kicking off?

When you say "RA", do you mean Ron Allen or Richard Anderson?

Great game on many levels.
Here's some food for thought that might be worse than any leftover tiny hot dogs and nachos...
Last month Emirates signed an interline agreement including mileage accrual with Alaska Airlines. Delta recently announced the elimination of interline agreements with several middle east carriers. One reason I'd heard we'd bought Comair was that they were beginning to compete with us. I know that we've been cold to the idea of buying Alaska, but with them now basically aiding and abetting the enemy (Emirates), I'd think our management is taking another look, especially with our stock price as high as it is.

Yes, "RA" needs to be defined. When I see "RA", I think Ron Allen. When I think Ron Allen, I start looking for kittens to kill.

Ron Allen = Mo'Ron
Richard Anderson = King Richard
Now, shall we discuss what we called Harry A?
