Any thoughts on this latest idea being tossed around by the NFL where PATs would be snapped from the 25-yd line, making them 42 yards?  Chip wouldn't be able to do his sneak attack 8-0 leads anymore

Is there a rule that they have to have X number of rule changes every year? I can't think of any other reason for that one to be brought up.

Apparently these kicks are annoying someone out there, so the league is thinking about eliminating them completely (and making all TDs 7 points) or making them less automatic

The Eagles better win one soon before this semi-watchable league becomes unwatchable.

Sir Peter King, his football highness, seems to be leading the charge against the XP.

Leave it alone. They're always tinkering with shtein

making the td an auto 7...minus 1 if you miss the 2 and plus 1 if you make it...is fine

extra points are useless and stupid
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Get rid of kickers entirely. And punters! Pretend they never existed! Start all drives at the 20, 35 after a safety. Keep it six points for a touchdown, and the extra point is dunking on the now useless goal posts. 2 points for a two handed dunk, obviously. 3 If your nuts touch someone's facemask while doing it.

The man. The myth. The legend.

But that will eventually lead to a re-design of the facemask because someone's nuts were caught and cut off in the mask during a dunk. It's a can of worms is what I'm trying to say.

The extra point is assinine.  It's a waste of time and it's boring.  It should be eliminated, or changed so that it's actually worth watching and has some meaning to the game.

If doing something like that is going to ruin football for you, all the better.

Bears about to release Devin Hester

Get. Get. GET! He's a billion times better than the shtein storm we have at kick returner barring Jackson.
