Eliminating the Kneeldown
We all know that the quarterback kneeldown to end a game is one of the most boring plays in the world. It's designed so that nothing can happen. Personally, I thank Romeo Crennel for completely eliminating it from our playbook, but I'm getting tired of seeing our opponents constantly calling this play.

So I have an idea to eliminate it. How's this?

In the last two minutes of the game, the clock doesn't move on any play that doesn't gain yardage while the offensive team has the lead.

Tie game? No effect. Trailing team has the ball? No effect. But a team that's leading has to be making positive progress. Otherwise, the clock is reset to its previous time after the play.

the only reason to stop the kneeldown is when the opposing team prostrates themselves on the field before the ball is snapped.

How about we just modify the "Victory Formation" somewhat?

When the play is called, the opposing head coach must take the field and have his ass kicked by the punter until, at the top of his voice, screams the word, "Nellie!"

I agree.

In no other sport does the "kneel down" exist.

Not baseball, basketball, soccer, boxing, Jai Lai, baccarat, poker, roulette, MMA, rugby, cricket, badmitten, drinking, sport fishing or sport ****ing.

The NFL needs a rule change.

The winning team shouldn't have to risk a fumble and/or losing yardage and the clock stopping. If you're behind with 2 minutes or less and no timeouts on defense...ya lost. Unless you're playing against Philip Rivers...

Thats the opposite of what the Chiefs do.

I know, it's hard to fathom.

I must admit that I'm somewhat staggered by the popular support for the kneeldown. I may have to start watching them more closely to see what I'm missing.

Other sports suck. That's why I watch football. The only exception being hockey, which ends in a meaningless fight in this situation. I would not be opposed to ending an NFL football game in a giant meaningless fight instead of a victory formation.

Likewise. I don't care for it at all even back in the 90's when the Chiefs did it sometimes. Play 60 minutes.

This would actually lead to some exciting idiocy from time to time. I've reconsidered my early knee-jerk opposition. Sign me up.

Also why the heck'd they change touchbacks to the 25 yard line in college? This is un-amerkkin. **** SAFETY, I don't want to feel old. And it's weird.
