What does 'laces out' mean in 'Ace Ventura - Pet Detective'?

Answer 1

"Laces out" in Ace Ventura refers to the best form for kicking a field goal in football. The ball should be positioned with its laces out (facing the goalpost) rather than with the laces in (facing the kicker). The trajectory of the ball is more easily controlled when it is positioned laces out, which makes it more desirable when kicking the field goal. In the film, "Lois" Einhorn/Ray Finkle blames Dan Marino for positioning the football laces in and costing him a Super-Bowl-winning field goal. His anger about this prompts him to kidnap Marino and Snowflake, the mascot for the Miami Dolphins.

Answer 2

If the laces are facing outwards, it can mess up the kick. So when Ray Finkle missed that game-winning kick because of the laces being in, Ace knew exactly what went wrong.
