SPORTS



NFL Considering Overcomplicating the Game.

This spring the NFL will vote on 11 proposed rules including one that would would allow teams to hold onto possession after scoring by converting a fourth-and-15 from their 25-yard line. Another proposal changes the overtime format to allow the winner of the OT coin toss to choose where to spot the ball for the first play or start on offense or defense from the designated spot. And a third rule under consideration would allow defensive backs, linebackers, running backs, fullbacks, tight ends, H-backs and wide receivers to have single digit numbers.

Football just keeps getting better and better. And luckily we’ll have that extra week to work all these in.

But instead of saying the winning solution “Sole, Flounder, Cod, Catfish”, the player said “Sole, flounder, cod, AND catfish.” Fans feel the enforcing the rule was BS, despite the fact that the host doesn’t make up the rules.
