What changes would you like to see in the NFL?

[Chewbaccer]

I couldn’t disagree more. If your wife was over weight and I posted on her Facebook “Damn, you got fat like a fuckng pig” I could use the “toughen up routine”. Or if your son got paralyzed by a drunk driver I could call him HandiBoy because we all just need tougher skin right. How about you come on here saying you have Cancer and we all laugh at you and make joke about death and you should laugh along because you have tough skin, right?

I'm 26 and have a life, so therefore I'm not married, and I have no kids that I'm aware of, and I generally don't like kids to begin with. Gonna have to dig a little deeper. I get called inbred all the time on here because of where I'm from, and despite that being a clear shot at my parents my response is always along the lines of "the closer the kin, the deeper in."

And if I had cancer, I'd hope people would continue to bust my balls both here and in real life and not pity me or treat me any different than normal because of it.

Gotcha. If you’re sick and dying you want everyone to laugh at you. Got it cause you’re soooo tough.

That would help the down ratings this year

I know I know. You’re such a bad ass that even in death you’re not scared.

OK, OK, youre a real bad ass that is immune to feelings. But on the flip side go look up in the DSM4R say about people with no feelings.

I have fears. I'm horrified of spiders and centipedes, and really don't care for any bug that doesn't fly. Death isn't one of my fears though. It's inevitable. Everyone is going to die. Worrying about it or fearing it does absolutely no good.

I have feelings. I'm just not easily offended. I was hurt when my best friend died. I was hurt when the dog I got when I was 3 died when I was 21. Never been hurt by something I read on the internet though.

 

[Center Ice]

The need to only get 1 foot in bounds
Make pass interference a 15 yard penalty at most
Make holding by the O a 5 yard penalty

I think you'd see a huge spike in pass interference calls if you made it a 15 yard penalty.

Im assuming you're not a minority but their pain is real and isnt cured with "tougher skin". Sorry to hear about your best friend but what I'm trying to illustrate to you is to go back to those feelings when your best friend died and imagine hearing people make hate filled jokes about him. Just imagine.
For some reason some people think its OK to laugh at and tease gay people and the shit isnt right. Kids commit suicide cause they know how society treats gay people. Somethings just arent funny and arent cured with "tougher skin".

Damn... your dog lived a long time! 18 years is incredible!

Perhaps, but I don't see it at the college level

Actually a really good point. I said the same thing about pass interference only being 15 yards (a ton of PI's would happen).
But you know how this board is... nobody can ever give opposing views any credit.

Depends on the cheerleaders.

Some of these teams hire cheerleaders with the flattest chests in the country.

Seriously.

What the fuck!

Small titties need love too.

The ball is fumbled out of bounds behind the D so it makes perfect sense to call it a turnover.

If you don't want to turn the ball over don't fumble

Agreed. No idea why some think the offense should get to keep the ball when they do that. It probably has something to do with their team being on the wrong end of one of them recently, because that outcome has never been controversial in the past and will never be a subject for discussion by the rules change committee.

 

[Wazmankg]

No guarantee the receiver catches the ball anyways, and there should never be a 40 yard penalty.

It's a 15 yarder in college. Works just fine there.

I like this change.

I dont agree. When you fumble the ball out of bounds anywhere on the field you get to keep it. If you fumble it into the endzone it turns into a penalty of 25 yards and the other team gets the ball. Seems to severe.

 

[Wazmankg]

Was it recovered by the defense?? Nope. How’s it a turnover? Stupid rule. Oh that’s right... the Cowgirls benefited from such a call. If that’s what ya need to beat the pathetic Raiders.... rock on!

The defense gets it because the offense fumbled it completely through the field of play the defense is defending.

The End Zone isn't in the field of play, and the endzone the D is protecting belongs to them, therefore that fumble went out of play in there yard, = there ball.

Thats fine... but why the 25 yard penalty added onto it. Maybe the team should get the ball where the other team fumbled. Like in the Dallas Oakland game. Since Carr fumbled it in the Dallas endzone, Dallas could have got the ball where Carr fumbled (the one yard line).

The penalty is too severe IMO.
