That's where we disagree. Because there are still misses isn't a good reason to not change the rules to make the game better, and more entertaining. As I pointed out before, Jan Stenereud is the only pure kicker in the Hall of Fame. He made 65% of his kicks. Today, it's 83% of all kick attempts are good. Not just the best kicker, all kickers averaged out . That's about 16% better. Plus, kicks are routinely made from longer and longer. So I suggest we take it back to Jan's time, and reduce the goal post width by that same percentage amount. Or, from 18' to 15' or a bit less. Not a massive, radical change. Just a logical one. That, and get rid of the flags.FoxxyBrown1111 said:Leave the width of the goal like it is since there are still misses.
LOL! Ever see Lacrosse? I like Lacrosse. But their goalies have maybe more padding on. But at least in Lacrosse the goal is bigger.A different story would be if the games were like hockey since their goal can be completely covered by a big and full padded goalie. That´s absurd. We are far from such situations in football.
I agree though, the NHL has been so slow to change, or stop stupid things from happening. Almost as bad as MLB. Though nothing tops FIFA. Someone could come up with the most brilliant way to make Futbol more interesting, and FIFA would take three decades debating it and studying it. MLS are idiots for not being assertive on their own, instead holding FIFA sacred for some idiotic reason.
Not sure how many of you are in the Northeast, but if last night's weather is anything similar, it's going to be a really fun Superbowl! It was a total blizzard, maybe a foot of snow. Bitter cold and swirling winds. Game could end up 7-6, decided on a missed extra point.
Lots of whining by pundits on the radio saying having a cold weather Superbowl is a bad idea. Some people also saying they should build a dome in New York for football. Sissies. After all, no one shows up for Green Bay Packer games when it's cold and snowy there (hint: sarcasm). These people need to become NBA fans where they can stay safe and warm inside.
As an aside, I will give props to the NHL by the way for playing more games outside this season. A lot of whiners don't like this idea either, but it's been wildly popular, and the seats have been filled with happy fans. And the players like it too.
