The XFL rule that the NFL must adopt

Image
The XFL has burst onto the scene. By burst I mean the league has yet to fold. In all seriousness, as a football fan I am just happy there is semi-coherent football being played. Sure quarterback play isn't up to snuff (with the exception of a couple guys) but the XFL is doing something very cool. Other leagues have failed because they try and emulate or compete with the NFL. The XFL had basically filled a need (spring football) and provided enough wild concepts to keep your average fan somewhat interested. Honestly thats all football loving degenerates like myself need. The NFL would be wise to check their immense egos and improve their game through a key rule change.  The adoption of the XFL's revolutionary kickoff structure is a must for the league. If you are unfamiliar, the kicker kicks off from the normal distance (the 30). The gunners and blocker are placed in a stationary position at the opponents 35, facing each other. The kicker then kicks the ball and the players a...

NFL schedule change drama

The NFL CBA is  coming to an end and things looked to be coming together just fine. When the news broke of the proposed deal, myself, like every other fan, was ecstatic. One less preseason game, one extra regular season game and an expanded playoff format. The players would in turn receive an increase revenue share and an increased chance of making a super bowl. Who could possibly not want this? Your answer is Richard Sherman (shocking, I know) a player who prides himself on being difficult just for the hell of it. In case you haven't heard he went to Stanford which makes him the smartest person in the world, just ask him. The other big detractor is one JJ Watt, a transformational talent and sure fire hall of famer. Watt has only been able to play a full season once in the last 4 years. His team is also always in the playoffs. You have to think if he played for some limp dick franchise like the Browns he would be singing an entirely different tune. The owners have quickly approved ...

The bizarre saga of Myles Garrett

Image
This Myles Garrett stuff is wild. If your not familiar with the situation, the Cleveland Browns defensive end tried to decapitate an opponent. The opponent in question, Mason Rudolph got into a tussle with the adonis that is Garrett. Garrett (who is known for his calm demeanour) saw it fit to remove Rudolph's helmet and attempt to murder him with it. He succeeded in denting the head of the goofy faced quarterback. Garrett was then suspended for the rest of the season. In fact he was just recently reinstated. The Browns defensive end did a reason interview where he claimed that Rudolph called him a big word beginning with the letter n. We all know what I am talking about. Of course the Pittsburgh QB denied all allegations. Looking at this from an outsiders perspective, its hard to say for sure. I do know a few thing though: Rudolph was immediately assisted by his offensive lineman who are also black. In fact the head coach of the Steelers, Mike Tomlin (also of African american de...
