Goodell floats novel idea for replacing kickoffs

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

If I have to tell you how kickoffs, as they're currently done, are a waste of time, then I'm done. I give two shits about how much "fun" they are. Is that really the basis for your argument?

You were done before you started. You seem to be the only one of that opinion that KOs are a waste of time. If it's a safety issues, punt returns on average are more dangerous to players than kick returns.

99% of teams would punt in that situation, unless it was late in the game and they were trailing.

Just get rid of special teams all together. Get rid of the foot in football. Call it throwball or something. The game is evolving into more arena league type stuff.

I don't know about that. I have yet to hear of a 13 year old weighing at least 2 tons.

What are they going to paint on the field for every season opener then?

Welcome to "2013 Punt or 4th & 15"

Fucking stupid.

I think the league needs to get rid of Alan Autry before he ruins everything.

If this happens, somebody is getting locked in a room with no good or water until shit gets fixed.

It is all about money. The league desperately wants an 18 game schedule and they'll never get that unless they show they've made steps to improve player safety.

 

[Sheik]

One-sided hate.

Kickoff debate again? I wish someone would shoot Goodell in the face.

The game won't be recognizable in 10 years if he keeps this shit up. If this is such an issue why don't you look into why players can't wear helmets that fit. They seem to fly off their heads with relative ease anymore. A sneeze will dislodge them. Football pants have become tights without pads. Watching some games you can catch certain players / QB's without a mouth piece but we seem to be worried about the kickoff you have already mucked up by seeing if the kicker can hit the goal post or kick it in the first row of the stands.

The elite 10% is just trying to get theirs over the 90% who just want to play. And don't forget DeMaurice Smith is positioning for a career in politics.

I'd like to know Hostile's view on this, being a student of the game and all.
