New rule changes on the docket for the NFL. I think all of them would be improvements. Thoughts?

* A dramatic overhaul of the current instant replay system. The Buffalo Bills have proposed getting rid of the current coaches’ challenge system and going to a system similar to the colleges, which relies on a replay official up in the booth to overturn incorrect calls. The purpose of the proposal would be to speed up the game and eliminate those fun under-the-hood reviews by the on-field referee.

* Expansion of the league’s playoff overtime rule to the regular season. The current overtime rule in the postseason allows both teams at least one possession if the team that receives the overtime kickoff doesn’t score a touchdown. That’s different than the current first-team-that-scores-wins overtime rule in the regular season.

* The automatic review of all plays involving turnovers. Currently, those plays only can be reviewed if a coach challenges the on-field call. Last year, the league began having a replay official in the booth review all scoring plays. This would add turnovers to the expanded list.

* In an attempt to increase in-season trade activity and make football more like baseball and basketball, the owners will consider a proposal to move back the trade deadline from the sixth week of the season to Week 8.

Just to cement the victory, the Tebow deal may now fall through?? An issue over who's paying guaranteed money, except it was in the contract. Did they agree to sign him without reading the damn thing?

I think they may also be trying to take the title of most dysfunctional team in the NFL to boot!


That's been settled. The two teams are splitting the extra money. It wasn't the guaranteed money. His contract entitled him to double his guarantee if traded. It's a strange clause that was missed by both teams essentially. They were the dumbest front office when they gave Sanchez a pay raise. I don't even know what to call them now.

And people who commit homicide will still buy a candy bar for a kid. Being a jerk like Shockey in no way precludes him from acting with the best intentions in this case. With that said, Warren Sapp should not being outing him, especially on the NFL Network. Also, many other people more knowledgeable than Sapp have vehemently insisted that Shockey did not leak the info. It seems like speculation to me. Blame the guy who is an a****le in the locker room and left the team disgruntled.

I haven't followed the Bountygate thing too closely.  That said, it is certainly clear that GODell is still a major piece of sh*t.  Will anyone in the media have the balls to ask him about how compromising the integrity of games and entire seasons is only worth a slap on the wrist compared to the punishments he handed out yesterday?  I guarantee that massive joke would have given the Saints a pass too if they'd have gone and licked his boots like Robert Kraft does.  I'm not questioning the punishments but I am questioning what truely motived GODell to hand them down.


Differences

Besides hurting the integrity of the game, it threatened long term irrevocable injuries to players at a time where medical information surrounding concussions is leading to massive legal action against the NFL.

The NFL knew of this and warned the Saints to stop, but they continued with this system.

There's more evidence directly tying the head coach to the action than in Spygate.

I don't think the penalty is that much more severe.

That is the infamous question Jody. I know tons of people (myself being one) were pissed NE got a slap on the wrist. The comish wanted to sweep it under the rug. Why? Either just to be rid of it OR there was quite a lot of bad bad evidence (I think there was) and wanted to cap the scandal.

Either way, glad he came down. Football is violent, should be so and dirty shots will happen, but in reason and the bounty is too much.

I heard that Warren Sapp has "reliable sources" that claim it was Jeremy Shockey who leaked it.

Well in theory the Vitt could coach when he comes back. Don't really know the logistics of all this but I assume constant switching of head coaches isnt the easiest thing in the world. And I doubt they will fire Peyton. Williams on the other hand maybe...no idea when he'll be allowed back in the nfl...but certainly wont be soon.


EIther way they need a new coach. Either way, they're changing head coaches. It doesn't matter how hard it is. It's happening. It's already happened.

You wouldn't fire him? Here's the situation. You have a manager who has knowledge of his subordinate committing an illegal act. He is warned about having the subordinate stop this illicit scheme. He fails to do so. As a result, the authorities detain him for one year while charging the business a sum of money and draft picks. How do you keep him? You just ignore what he did and let him ride out a year off? You change your system for a year then go back to him? If this happens in any other job, you're fired already. It's a disgrace to me if he remains the coach. He hurt the team through neglect. It's just as bad as hurting the team through poor coaching.
 
Well yeah...but Idk if it's worth it for them to have two or more substitute head coaches in one season or just stick with whomever they pick in the beginning of the season.
 
And I'm just saying I doubt hell by fired, not whether or not he should be fired. According to the "experts" he is close with the owners/big decision makers of the Saints and the players seem to respect him/feed off his energy/etc. Now this may change of course as the year goes on (esp if they go 15-1 and win a superbowl).

I agree with MoM on something...finally! The Jets have the dumbest front office in the NFL.

I think the Saints organization got what it deserved,putting out bounties and paying players to intentionally hurt other players is wrong on so many levels.And the NFL isn't done yet,they still promised that some players will be punished.Interesting to see who they are and what punishment they receive.

One question....why didn't the f**king Pats get similar treatment for Spygate?

I think RG3 will be fine. He's not a project like Vick was.

Tebow trade may be voided.

This year is only gunna get crazier with the draft coming up. The Luck Truck will be here soon.

I love how people get so enamored with athletic QBs.
Luck was THE sh*t. The best QB in years, a prototypical NFL ready QB, maybe the best since Peyton.
Now people want RG3! Obviously an athletic QB can be a good passer (McNabb, McNair, Culpepper) but soooo many, especially with huge college stats, are busts or mega projects. Cam Newton is a freak who came right out passing so well (and will only get better).

Luck is a decently athletic guy as well.
2012 is going to a be a crazy year for sure.

Yes, awfully ballsy of you MWH!

Ridiculous....Sanchez and Tebow. A dynamic duo of fail. The sad thing is of course Sanchez is better. He is at least a QB, that can throw and has shown the potential to be solid. With Tebow we've seen at best he can throw together 5 good minutes, or he can maintain a game with a lead. (Yet to lead a real comeback victory, where he usually just burns).

I wonder will they try to develop him? Because throwing him into a normal passing system will be a nightmare.
Jets like the Wildcat...did they grab Tebow just to use him for 10 snaps a game in wildcat?
With the fragile and immature psyche of Sanchez they brought in Tebow??? He won't push Sanchez and at worst he'll mess with Sanchez's head even more. The distraction will be huge.
The Jets are morons.


Other big news: Wonder if Spags will end up coaching the Saints for this year. Wouldn't mind, I'd like to see him coach a good team actually.
Also after the flak Goodell got from Spygate for going light (IMO accurate) he certainly did what was needed this time. Brought the hammer down hard on coaches, not that he has much respect but this saved any shreds of it.

And by Big Apple you of course mean Northern New Jersey.
First Giant Stadium is turned into this drab, gray mess now we have to share it with that f**k Tebow.
I need beer.


We knew Peyton's penalty would be harsh, as it should be, and damn it was.
Well, they can pull a New England and somehow turn this into a "us against the world" mentalityLOL
Become reclusive, give interviews 3 words at a time, start cutting up your hoodies to say f**k you the NFL.
Takes talent to turn your cheating into a statement against the league!

Anywho, big day I guess. Saints have gotten their penalty, the second coming of Christ has been bestowed upon the Jets.

.....god damn it
It was bad before, but living in the NYC Metro Area I will truly never hear the end of Tebow.
I hope he bombs miserably and gets booted ASAP. I don't even care about the Jets but sh*t, I won't even be able to listen to sports radio like I love so much, gunna be Tebowmania 25/7. Yes, the stations will work another hour into the day to talk about Tebow! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And yeah, the pressure is now on Sanchez...with TebowLOL "Hey 3 legged dog, you gotta step up if not we have a 2 legged dog waiting". I knew the Jets would like to take back their crown of biggest morons ever!

Oh man the Jet fans are already so terrible, all we need is one of "Tebow's epic game winning comebacks" and it's f**kin over.
