Kickoffs may be moved up to the 40.

Only because the ****ty Redskins proposed a ****ty rule change. If they do adopt said ****ty rule, they might as well just take the kickoff out.

I think they're perfect as they are. They're mostly touchbacks but if teams want to take a chance and return it from 7 or 8 yards deep they can and they do at times. Moving it up again is going to make it all touchbacks unless the wind is insane.

Will be surprised if that passes.

A rich guy greasing the wheels of reporters to maintain a respectable public image despite personal turmoil? I'm shocked.

I know I'm missing an adjective or two, but TOS.

He has had problems since 1995. In 2000-01, he overdosed at least 3 times. I posted it earlier, but in 2002 there was a story about it, but nothing ever came from it. The NFL/Colts must have been working for a long time to cover this up.

#7 please.

Everything should be challengable. The coach should be able to pull the ref aside and say "this is a dumb ****ing call, this is what's wrong with it, so go look at it and fix it."

I guess #8 would effectively eliminate cut blocks.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Hit the nail on the ****ing head regarding the double standard that's out there.

We'll kill the players, even if it's their first time in trouble with the law or doing something like this and might even throw out that "Thug" word every now and then(depending on who it is). They can even admit they have a problem and want to get help and we'll still find some way to kill them.

But considering who we're talking about(The Media in this case)I shouldn't be surprised.

I don't think the term "thug" should apply to DUI's.

Re: NFL Off Topic

And it doesn't. Who calls people with DUIs thugs?

He said people might throw out the word if it were a player.

Hence me saying "depending on who it is" because certain players will get labeled with that term quickly, even if it makes no sense at all. But it's not just DUIs I was talking about.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So Chad Johnson may play in the CFL. Last month a fan asked him on Twitter asked him what team he'd play for in the future and he said the BC Lions however the Montreal Alouettes added him to their negotiation list today. Mr. Johnson has done nothing to quell any speculation since then

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Nothing to negotiate, I&#39;ll be fast as hell and in shape.

Later on someone asked him straight up and this was his reply:

Re: NFL Off Topic

BTW as an addendum to the NFL rules changes being proposed for next year I offer this, the CFL is proposing instant replay on pass interference calls. If the NFL doesn't open video review up in a major way for next season and the CFL goes through with their PI review than i'm sure NFL people will take a good long look at what the CFL is doing.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Games are a slog to get through as it is. I'm perfectly fine with the replay rules the way they are to be honest.

I'm probably in the "uncommon opinion" territory there, though.
