darren:
I was listen to one of Ray's audio I'm not sure which one. I listen to so many. I was watching ESPN and they were showing how the saints were NO#1. on getting turnovers and scoring. One play stood out where one of the defencive lineman picked up a fumble and ran it in for 69yards for the touchdown. This brings me to my point. On one of Rays audio he said no team in the history of sports has ever score on a defencive play. Am I missing something here?

I made a comment on that statement too. I guess Ray isn't that keen on football and how scoring can be a two way thing. Maybe he was thinking of baseball. Althogh that fan sure scored a few runs for the Marlins in that National League Championship game a few years ago.

Darren,
Technically, when a team turns the ball over, they are no longer on offense. I know sports announcers call these plays 'defensive plays' but that's the whole point of the word 'turnover'. The ball changes possession and the other team is now on offense.
But really, I think that's somewhat minor compared to the big picture Ray was talking about.

Hey, good point Marques. I was wondering about that too when I heard Ray say it; thanks for clearing it up...
Defense may not be able to score points, but they can take points off the board too :D Kinda like "answering a fool according to his folly". When someone says something that is unscriptural and contradictory [and even ridiculous] and you expose it clearly and quickly, I've found often times they are left 'speechless'. They got no comeback... That's a spiritual SHUTOUT baby! LOL

The following is from Answers.com
What NFL player has scored the most defensive touchdowns in a career?
In: American Football History [Edit categories]
As of the 2008 season, that would be Rod Woodson with 13 regular season TDs (12 INT returns for TDs and 1 fumble return for a TD).
If you add in the playoffs the leader would be Aeneas Williams with 14 total TDs (11 INT returns for TDs (9 regular season and 2 playoff) and 3 fumble returns for TDs).
Rod Woodson scored most of his defensive touchdowns playing for the Steelers. ;D
The Steel Curtain is back in 2010. Just ask the Falcons and Titans. :o
