Haven't watched NFL since kneeling started. They've just deteriorated since then. This is another stupidity. Don't waste time with NASCAR either. Way too many good books out there to waste time with woke.
a bunch of primadonnasDoes everyone now get a blue participation ribbon when the game is over also?
yeah, that is what I dont understand. The formation is unmistakable....unless they changed that requirement too.Since when have onside kicks not be announced?
While not officially, that formation cannot be mistaken.
What is NASCAR doing?Welcome to the world of NASCAR.
Read the new kickoff rules...yeah, that is what I dont understand. The formation is unmistakable....unless they changed that requirement too.
It has been semi-flag football for quite some time. I quit watching it a long time ago.Before long, the NFL will be flag football. I have thought for a long time about league wide fixing. Sometimes things are just better left alone, especially by lawyers.

"don't get to close to the passer"
"don't get to close to the receiver"
"actually, never touch the passer....... or the receiver, just ask them politely to stop"
The kicking team will kick off from its own 35-yard line. 10 members of the kicking team will line up on the receiving team's 40-yard line (25 yards in front of their kicker). A minimum of nine members of the receiving team will line up between their own 30- and 35-yard lines (five-to-10 yards in front of the 10 members of the kicking team).Read the new kickoff rules...
agreed, and I would add fake attempts to tackleFake punts - soon not allowed
Fake handoffs - soon not allowed.
Fake Field Goals - Nope.
Wonder why the NCAA viewership is increasing and the NFL is not?
I do wonder about this myself. With legal (or unpreventable) bookmaking online and with some of the calls one sees, you do have to wonder. Money corrupts sports just like anything else.The NFL is all fixed anyway...
Yes, I pretty much got there 20 years ago. If not fixed, certainly "guided".The NFL is all fixed anyway...
They do want to encourage yard gains rather than touchbacks. Kicking teams however have been continuing to play it safe by kicking through the end zone. The touchback should be moved out to the 35 yard line so it is less of an advantage to the kicking team.this would be to increase the probability of a kickoff run gain or very violent hits?
A part of me agrees. A home field advantage in a playoff game at Alliegiant stadium, in 120 degree temps would not be fair for say the Patriots, or vise versa if the Raiders went to Foxboro. I would argue the same in Denver, where the air is thinner.I don't know why they even do kickoffs. They are silly. Give the ball to the team at the 20 or 25 and move on.
The FG kickers are so good now, there's no urgency to get to the end zone. If you make to just past mid field, you can still score points. TD's just aren't necessary. While I'm ranting, get rid of punts and put the northern teams into domes. -15F playoff games shouldn't happen.
Because Michigan is single-handedly getting everyone to party like it's 1935. 3 yards and a cloud of dust. I love it.Wonder why the NCAA viewership is increasing and the NFL is not?
Tell that to the Colts at halftime of Super Bowl 44.Since when have onside kicks not be announced?
