You realize that's because they enjoy a cozy relationship with the NCAA that they don't poach players. The most popular sport in the US doesn't have a 'developmental' league when Hockey and Soccer do? Riiiiiiight.
Why would the NFL or NBA want to challenge the NCAA when it absolves them of all legal risk and having to pay those players?
I seem to recall there being a lot of discussion about the NFL wanting more touchbacks because they feel the kickoff is a dangerous play and that rule changes have been put in place to promote less returns.
Manning was a special confluence of events..he got injured in a year the Colts could tank for the "next Manning". That is an incredibly lucky circumstance. They don't get Luck...Manning isn't available.
I think you have to be careful. There's a reason rules get made in the first place. I'm not against removing this particular rule, but I can't say why it exists in the first place.
It's likely because of the unpredictability of it. I'm not sure the benefit would worth it. Is an extra TD when you're up by 10 worth the TO in a tie game?
The Jets game has been highly entertaining. Mostly because they've looked awful. They have some good players, but it looks like they have less than zero depth and two "starters" got injured tonight.
Yeah, Revis played...longer than I'd expect.
I'm not sure who got beat for the TD.
Pryor has looked bad, real bad. Didn't seem to know what he was doing in their defense.
