Call the game correct or make the rules state "In the event of a close fought game a ref shall not get involved the game even if there are rules violations".

Yeah, that's the same argument that I have with basketball. WTF?! A foul is a foul!

Hockey's offsides makes total sense.

Glad they got rid of the 2 line pass rule though.

I don't know about the most stupid rules, but I agree with this.

Which brings me to another couple of rules that need to be addressed.

Intentional walks.

Just tell the ump you intend to walk the batter and let the ump simply award him the base rather than waste the time to toss the 4 pitches.

And don't give me the old, "Well the pitcher might throw a wild pitch" argument.
How many times has anyone ever seen that?

In football, defensive holding should not be an automatic first down.

Thus penalizing the offense as if the penalty happened in th middle of the field.

Well damn. That's actually a pretty good idea.

i'm not a big hockey fan so i can't really argue the point.


just seems like defense is defense, why the rule?


should the NFL have a rule that says the WR's can't run past the DB until the ball is in the air?

Being able to "knee" out the clock in football, you should have to put the ball in play. Make it a game, "kneeing" is a cop out.

The point is to prevent cherry picking. Also, nhl's offside rule is pretty inflexible: don't have anything more than a skate on the oooosing sides blue line before the puck crosses first.

:thumb: I was about post on the same rule. My thought was make it that if the ofense is backed up against the the goal line and would get half the distance from the goal then if the defense committed a penalty in the same area it would be half the distance from the goal. I like your idea more.

Stopped clock after first downs in college. So damn stupid, these games shouldn't take 4 hours. If you really have 4 hours to kill watching college football than you should contemplate suicide.


The passing games are too good now to stop clocks. When teams ran the wishbone , diff story.
