When a flag touches the ground you should pick it up as soon as possible. You should then inspect it to ensure that it can be displayed. It can be cleaned and flown again as long as it is not damaged.

The falg code says "The flag, when it is in such condition that is no longer fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferable by burning.", but although the flag code says that some people think that u do not have to destroy it because if the flag simply touches the ground does not make it unfitting to hang on display.

The flag does not have to be destroyed/burned. This is a myth. Simply remedy the situation. If a flag gets dirty but not stained, ripped or otherwise unsuitable, it may be laundered or drycleaned.

Can the kicker punt the ball into the uprights on a fieldgoal?

I believe this IS allowed in the NFL so long as the ball leaves the kicker's foot before crossing the line of scrimmage. I can't recall though ever seeing this type of kick DONE in an NFL game. ---- A field goal is attempted when the ball is placed on the ground for the kicker to kick or when the ball is dropped to the ground and kicked once it touches the ground and starts its bounce back up. In other words, the ball must have touched the ground or is touching the ground when the kick is attempted for the attempt to be considered a 'field goal attempt'. A punt occurs when a kicker kicks the ball before it has touched the ground. No points can be scored by a punt. So the answer to the question, as I understand it, is no. No. If a punted ball travels through the uprights, no points are scored. The ball has to make contact with the ground before it's kicked to score points, either by placekick or dropkick.
