ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Is there anything in the NFL Rules that explicitly prevents the Bills from suiting up a robot? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22141438 What if the robot was an atomically correct one? Get your mind out of the gutter - - I'm talking about body parts that are mentioned in the existing rulebook, like a runner being down when his knee touches the ground or a receiver catching a ball with both feet in bounds. Might end the concussion problem for all intensive purposes, and would encourage the brainy kids to study robotics so they could help their school's athletic departments and actually get laid once in a while. NCAA national championship football game in 2026 - - MIT vs. Cal Tech. Heck, they let Arnold Schwartzenagger "act" in movies and be a governor - - so why can't the Bills turn the tables and suit up a robot to play football? Give me one good reason.

In the years ahead I am sure they will have much more violent "games" like that. atomically= every atom in place Edited April 15, 2013 by bowery4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) i know this is a joke but in all seriousness what's going to happen the first time there is a QB with a completely robotic throwing arm that can throw 100 yards in the air with pinpoint accuracy or a lineman that can bench press 1000 pounds with the help of his robotically repaired upper body? the olympics set a scary precedent with that bladerunner/murderer Oscar Pristorius, who is clearly aided by his unnatural manufactured running legs that give him a huge advantage over the competition. it's only a matter of time before something like this leaks into other sports. baseball pitchers throwing 150 mph, basketball players that can jump 50 inches, boxers with metal fists. science fiction and reality are converging and it's only a matter of time!!!

Saint Doug Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Title is misleading. Robots should be mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the robotic lineman who can bench 1000 lbs can bust through the O line in 2.2 seconds, they will need to create robotic wide receivers that can run 100 yds in 2.2 seconds for the robotic QB to release the ball quick enough before getting robotically sacked. That being said, I'd love to have C3PO suit up for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'd be OK with it so long as the purposes are truly intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 There's a reason why people shouldn't wait until they're dead to sleep. Quite true. Out of all the jabs at my screen name that have been posted, my oldest brother Darryl liked this one the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 That being said, I'd love to have C3PO suit up for the Bills. I always thought he was kinda slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
