NFL Should Go Back To 1972 Rules
Edited on Sun Jan-15-06 05:19 PM by matcom
:eyes:

sick to fucking DEATH of these reviews. did he have control for the required 183 seconds BEFORE he fumbled?

was his pinky toe in contact with the grass as he dragged his foot through the back of the end zone or did he only have FOUR toes in contact?

can we put flags on the highest paid player on the field (Quarterback) so he doesn't have to get hit and dirty his teeth?

they should play under the 1972 rules i say.

1. Fuck it, go back to 1935! Leather helmets and no face masks!
Let them earn the same comparative salary, too.

5. 74 and cloudy here.
I need to clear out all the dead plants from my garden and trim the dead-ass trees. City brush pickup is the week of the 30th.

9. Bingo
Football started sucking when its accouterments became weapons, with subsequent rules to protect players. Too much battle, not enough finesse.

I prefer the old days when ball carriers were stopped, not mutilated.

10. And the 1972 teams! Fuck this new, move teams around bullshit
"Oooh, oooh, you (the city) won't build us another taxpayer funded stadium that will make us a shitload of money and cost your taxpayers even more in the interest on the bonds that we'll buy to finance it, so we're going to move to some other dumber, more clueless city that thinks it's fiscally responsible to have a sports team owned by a megalomaniac".
