Worthless….

What’s next, no Hail Marys without prior notification…

They claim this proposed kickoff rule change is for player safety…Does not compute:

17 games was stupid anyway! Now let's add to the active day roster 56 or 57, and Practice Squad 15.

I'd offer a comment, but it would be embarrassing to have to ban myself.

The league is a parody of its former self. Horrible.

Coming soon!
Notify opposition defense if you are passing or running on the next down.

Try harder next time. If you consider Wiki to be a bastion of factual info, I certainly hope you are not a person of science.

Next time, google a USA map and learn where the Northeast actually is.

The tweet in the OP is missing some important context.

This proposed change is part of a much larger change:



Thus, the reason teams would have to announce the onside kick in advance is because it would effect the way all of the players are lined up before the kick.

I know it seems dumb (and maybe it is), but it's actually part of an effort to bring back the excitement & relevancy of kickoffs in general.

Now, why they're only allowing it in the fourth quarter, I have no idea.

Yeah your article didn't touch on where the majority of the viewership is located. Because NHL isn't the national draw that other major league sports is, I know it was hard for you to find anything. And while it's not the NYT, Wikipedia does contain useful information....like the fact that NHL is most popular in the northeast.

WCW rules are next

One of the spring leagues had a similar rule and it worked well
