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.

And that, my friend, is the point. Currently the onside kick has a negligible impact on the game and is a waste of time. The NFL wants to institute a play that actually means something.
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"....

the odds are not much different than recovering an onside kick
Accounting for do-overs, we settled on the following chart to compare Denver’s proposal of a fourth-and-15 with the historical onside kick recovery rate of 13.2%.
Kicking teams historically recovered onside kicks between 15% and 20% of the time in a given season. In 2018, in part to changes on the kickoff play, that number dropped below 10%.
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!

So, let's say a team's down 4 at their own 10 yard line. It's 4th and 20 and they have no timeouts left. Wouldn't they just take a safety and then hope to get the onside kick? I'm sure the NFL thinks this through and comes to the right conclusion like they always do. I mean, the challenge rule for the PI worked to perfection last season.
Belichick would.

League Owners will consider this rule change in their upcoming Virtual Meeting.
Teams could still onside kick, but if this proposal was adopted, they also would have the opportunity to convert a 4th-and-15 scenario at their own 25-yard line to retain possession. Teams could use the 4th-and-15 attempt only twice per game.
Gaining 15 or more yards, presumably by passing the football, is certainly easier than executing a successful onside kick.
What's your opinion??
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....

And, yes. KMac just effectively ended Fredo's fledgling career.

Why would anyone do this? Who exactly do you believe is getting their medical advice from Trump and only Trump?
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.

Well apparently Nancy Pelosi said that Mueller cannot be objective.
Personally I would have appointed Obama as a special prosecutor.

It's almost like those who keep saying nothing more than "Flynn pled guilty" are idiots or disingenuous halfwits.
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.

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.

Second post, and he’s gone about with the standard:

Bravo.
I suppose this fan fiction passes for wit somewhere?
I have a feeling this alias will disappear pretty quick.

Remember, Comey and the Bureau told Trump and Flynn they weren’t under investigation.
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.

Jesus. That's pretty strong evidence of their uselessness when the facts are laid out.
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).
CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point
