Gamesmanship

There's a fine line between 'cheating' and some tactics.
The Philedelphia Eagles have huge 'big screens' right between the goalposts and they cover almost all of the end-zone. (I have seen them in my Playstation game... how sad am I?)

It was confirmed by a reporter, who was at the recent Cowboys v Eagles game, that when the Eagles kicker is lining up a field-goal there is a black screen with a small Eagles logo for him to aim at between the posts.

When the opposition are taking their kick then the screen, which fills the kickers vision when he lines up the kick, is filled with a close-up, zoomed in shot of the kickers face.

There's a saying over here - "It's just not Cricket" which just about covers what I feel about that.
