Could you throw it across the infield to the other side? Or would it be like hockey icing where you can't throw it further than one end zone?

Other than "it's always been this way" why does anyone care about kickoffs?

That's silly. 4 minutes of commercials instead of 2.

There isn't any reason to care about it since they made every kick a touchback. Maybe they should fix that by fixing what's wrong with it.

**** Goodell

:spock:

Probably because the KO return for TD is one of the most exciting plays.

There is simply no good reason to get rid of it.

Sarcastaball!

It is another possession. Onside Kick, Fumbling the catch and so on.

Other than "it's always been this way", why does anybody care about tackling?

ROFL jaz

This is so ****ing stupid. It's like Jerome Bettis said on the DP show this morning: "they might as well just flip a coin to see who wins the game."

OMFG

1000x agree. I HATE arena football and don't want to see every game 44-39

I got it, still have the draft, still have workouts, not practice someone could get hurt, then each week have something the equivalent of a rookie combine. Based on the results of this combine they basically make odds as to which team should win the game. Now based on that percentage, they do something the equivalent of flipping a coin, but have it weighted based on the results of the combine for that week. We no longer waste 3 hours of everyone's time watching the game, and no one should get seriously injured; however, you keep the players skills, the gm, the coaches, and all of that still involved in the outcome of the game.

(And if your sarcasm meter is broken **** off and move on)

It would solve the concussion problem completely. And League MVP Vernon Gholston would be thrilled.
