Laser sighting, and the optical hazards that imposes, would be necessary - and then there's all the gage R&R and hysteresis.... ugh.JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972323160146179105.post-58379318820031334412008-12-26T15:44:00.000-06:002008-12-26T15:44:00.000-06:00That's a recipe for a 10-hour game.That's a recipe for a 10-hour game.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972323160146179105.post-46304572923928087222008-12-26T13:22:00.000-06:002008-12-26T13:22:00.000-06:00perhaps it's time to bring up my extra-man/short-a...perhaps it's time to bring up my extra-man/short-a-man rules:<BR/><BR/>instead of the normal 11-man lineup, an offense or defense can decide, on first down, how many players they want on the field. a player = 5 yards and affects the yards to get a 1st down.<BR/><BR/>examples:<BR/><BR/>1. the offense brings 10 players, the defense stays with 11. it's 1st and 5.<BR/><BR/>2. the offense brings 11, zimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072367389475963710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972323160146179105.post-2054572408360945472008-12-25T16:37:00.000-06:002008-12-25T16:37:00.000-06:00Yeah, when did the "pantomime a flag throw" become...Yeah, when did the "pantomime a flag throw" become so rampant? Everyone does it now. That should at least be unsportsmanlike conduct, or a new category of foul called "annoying the shit out of the ref".<BR/><BR/>Also, the TV timeouts are out of control. The league is going to overcook itself if it doesn't dial back on the short-term greed.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972323160146179105.post-14596688940961090402008-12-25T15:47:00.000-06:002008-12-25T15:47:00.000-06:00WOW!

These are all awesome ideas - seriously, and unsarcastically, but the NFL is such a good-ole-boys club, I seriously doubt they would ever adopt any of them.

Field goals less than 30 yards should be worth 1 point, 2 points for 3-45 years, 3 points beyond 45. For any punt in which the line of scrimmage is in the receiving team's half or at the 50, if the ball is not downed inside the 10 it goes to the 50 or the result of the return, pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.com
