Savage69 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I assume you mean Football?? In that case it's one of the corners formed by a goal line and a sideline on a field where you punt and try to aim it so that it may go out of bounds close to the defender's goal line..Other than that I was in the AF and it also part of the Landing Field that must be approched very carefully during Landing!!
