They think they've appropriated the term....laughable.

Where's Shaun King when we need him?

When we were kids we used to play "Canadian Rules" football, where if you caught the ball on the first bounce, it was a reception. Think about it...... Or how about this... Each team can have a 12th player on the field for just one play each half. I think it would make things more exciting, and add another layer of strategy. Or have a kickoff where, if the receiving team doesn't catch the ball (must travel 20 yards in the air), the kicking team receives 2 points. Maybe give them the ball too. Sure makes kickoffs Must-See-TV. There are just so many ways to fix up this incredibly popular sport.

"You ain't black!" I'm tellin' ya, Team Trump can just stand back and let Satchmo Joe do himself in. It will make Trump look more stately, and he could use some of that. Just some eyerolls, and condescending remarks here and there..."Well, we know Sleepy Joe has done some very bad things, but we can't tell if he actually knows where he is, and what he is doing"..."We've offered to get Joe some help, if he would let us. My door is always open, Joe. Let's clean up this mess you've left behind".. I'm half expecting the NAACP to lead the charge in bringing him down, eventually.

So would a "longest punt" competition. And that would make punters FASCINATING. But I still prefer the coaches arm wrestling. How about this? If a team gets ahead by more than 14 points, the team that is down keeps the ball until they score. It will keep games close. Don't step on this idea, it's "the next Forward Pass"....

There are other factors as well. I wonder what the 3rd/ 15 and 4th/15 success rates are in the final 7 minutes of games are? I bet they are higher. The defenses are more worn out. This definitely favors good offensive teams. It will have an impact.

I think they should just come up with a new rule each season to add excitement! How about a tip off like basketball, to begin each half? How about tie games get decided by who can punt the ball the farthest? That would be awesome. You fuddy duddies don't understand that this game needs to constantly be ***** with in order to hold the youngsters attention. Let's see....instead of a coin flip, how about "Rock, Paper, Scissors"? Or an arm-wrestle between coaches to decide who gets to kick or receive? Boy, that could really make for some interesting strategies when hiring a coach, huh? Someday these could be innovations not unlike the development of the forward pass for ***** sake!

Belichick would.

It's a terrible idea. A team should not be given the ball back in succession. They have to take it back. Making the game "more exciting" is a terrible excuse. It's been the most successful sport for a long time. It doesn't need to cheapen possessions to keep fans interested. If they are so concerned about injuries, they should go the other way, and make it a penalty to NOT kick the ball further downfield, and basically eliminate the on-side kick. These "once or twice a game" rules are really gimmicky, and cheapen the game. Teams play all game long under a set of rules, then out of the blue.... "It's time to Spin The Wheel for bonus points. Yay!"

"Quid Pro Joe".... Be great if instead of having grown women Clinton accosted, Trump brought in a row of young ladies Joe has made squirm

Shoshin likes to leave out the "problematic" aspects.

These are so good

Now we have to keep ALF ***** off our shoes...

She is damn good. I'm a believer.

I know, it's ***** ludicrous. I can't believe that has been accepted by anyone as a legitimate protest. "Stupid people might just use it on their own, and die. It'd be Trump's fault too!"

I'm wondering what Trump's dosage is. He could easily be taking minuscule doses, but still truthfully claim to be taking it. That said, I am of the opinion that as long as the health care facilities aren't overwhelmed, the lockdown should be moving along quickly.

It was really ***** stupid.

Seems obvious to me.

Hahaha.

They know it's bull####, and have always known it....THEY DON'T CARE. They even approve. This is how they want to play the game. A little gold from early in this thread...where is this Dork now?

Actually, Barr didn't dismiss it, he just said at this time, based on what he has seen, he isn't expecting them to be charged. Big difference. The NYT...(smh)

I have a feeling this alias will disappear pretty quick.

I forgot about that one. There are so many incidents to remember that I might need to re-read some of these threads to freshen up.

I got this guy blocked by post #2....I'm really getting good at this.

There will still be a long line of ****heads claiming Trump is "picking on China" and calling him a racist for criticizing the Chinese government (as opposed to the people of China, or people of Chinese descent).
