it would be if it were forced but the name stuck without any reservations, so i dont see why everyone is suddenly feeling dirty about it. Trust me im no fan of the real mafia but the word has taken on a wider meaning since then. It no different than Gang which is used by the jets and nobody is insulted or offended by that.
These guys need to stop tweeting stupid stuff like they are in jail, reminds of the rest of these malcontents who want to be traded. Not sure if he has the right attitude to be here.
I like old school too but could do with out the kicking.
i would make the 20 yd line the 3 point line and the endzone would be where you get 4 points.
for punting i would make 4rth down a live ball for the defense where you can throw a hail Mary, which acts as a punt, and if no one catches the ball or picks it up that's where the other team gets the ball. Obviously the offensive team can catch the ball but cant pick it up off the ground.
this would make the game way more entertaining and would save roster spots and money dedicated to kickers and special teamers.
The jets are morons, you dont let good kickers and punters go unless they're shot or have a better replacement.
If the NFL would just adopt my no kicking policy, nobody would have this problem
Now its a QB diving forward is now considered giving yourself up, the as same sliding and the ball goes back to the point of the dive. So stupid, costing the eagles a win, not that i care about the eagles, its just the point of the matter.
If im a team im not trading these whiny brats as it just makes other weak minded individuals do the same thing. Players getting their way in these instances sets a bad precedent around the league. I play him and if he plays bad hes going on the bench or inactive and if he still causes problems i suspend him and trade him in the offseason.
