Even if Brooks was not called for a penalty that he did commit. The Saints had 3 timeouts and there was more than 2 minutes left in the game.

I think the only rule is that writers should stop writing imagination articles proposing new rules based on a contention that there are new rules that they do not like.

I think PCP use and/or LSD use is involved with boring imagination articles like this.

But something has been drained from the NFL over the last decade, though. I don't know if it's the rule changes, or the way the media covers the league like it's TMZ and not football, or... what. Certainly, the Chiefs' utter futility for the last decade has played a part.

But for some reason as years go by I keep finding college football becoming more interesting to me and the NFL somewhat less.

Maybe it's "good old days" thinking, but it seems like defense and the running game were so important in the past. Now the league is almost entirely about the quarterback and the passing game.

I think I liked the NFL I grew up with more. :hmmm: :shrug:

I would like to see 1-4 implemented in the preseason just to see what happens. Number 5 is terrible.

As far as number 4 goes, maybe the QB has to announce himself as an eligible runner if he wants to run the ball. In so doing, he waives the special protections afforded to QBs.

Golf? Really? Have you written one thing about golf that didn't include Tiger Woods and/or racial issues? Nothing wrong with discussing T.W. or racial issues. But seriously, what do you know about golf?

It's targeted to people who don't like football. Much like a cell phone or television provider that attempts to grow its base by throwing out great introductory deals while ignoring core customers, the NFL has been focused on flashing lights, production values, and higher scores in an attempt to bleed off business from other major sports and gain the attention of the casual to apathetic sports fan who thinks that the only meritorious plays are ones that end in scores or big gains.

That would make it harder to foster a league who only cares about TV revenue and fantasy football.

How much ad time was sandwiched on each side of the football play he references I wonder.
