... in the NCAA championship game, do we kick the extra point, or take a knee and keep the score at a symbolic and satisfying 44?
 
All I know is that the 17-0 Dolphins of '72 should have won the Super Bowl 17-0. Thanks, Garo, and RIP.

"I keek a touchdown!"

During one of his early games with the Lions, they were losing but scored a touchdown in the last 10 seconds of the game. Yepremian was sent in to kick the extra point, and he was so excited after converting the point that he went running off the field with his arms raised in celebration. Teammate Alex Karras asked Yepremian, "What the hell are you celebrating?" Yepremian replied with a phrase made famous on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: "I keek a touchdown".[1][2]

It's hard to tell from that clip but it looked as if he booted the ball right into the line and thus was responsible for the block as well as the pass.
