It'd be a great watch...I love snow games as well, but I think they were directing that at the people who'll actually be THERE. If I ever went to a Bowl...then the answer is no.

Players don't want that either, but they're overpayed pussies, so it doesn't matter. :lol:

No, but power failures should be treated like rain outs. Game over.

Your team will be in the mix next year. Nothing to worry about.

Long time no see. What did I miss?

For the past 3 weeks, none of my web browsers would let me on the forums due to a 'malware warning' which I guess has been fixed. Did anyone see my post on the message board regarding playoff pickems? Never got a reply.

Same room where I hosted that Journey party that some here attended back in 2006. Room looks completely different now.

Damn cool, Ed. Thanks for sharing. I'm already getting things in mind for my own Man Cave. EVERY dude is entitled to one. Good stuff.

What's with the 02 and 03? Did the Ravens win back to back championships and forget to tell the rest of us?

Thanks for asking. I came home drunk last night and saw that picture and was confused, but was afraid my eyes were playing tricks on me, so i didn't ask.

Ha! Just another example of why it's always annoyed me when people put a zero in front of a number that absolutely does not need it. It's the 2nd month of the year....not the 02nd month!

I hear ya. Irritates the hell outta me too.

Just received a knock off Super Bowl ring that I bought off ebay. Shipped from China. Pretty awesome for $40 and free shipping. Thing has some weight to it.

I enjoyed seeing this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWEocllgWAI
It's basically talking about the Aussies who have gone over to the states and played NFL mainly as a punter.
We understand the Punter isn't regarded as one of the more important players, but I think one day the Aussies involved will change the game in some way with their kicking skills. This will also mean the US players will have to improve their kicking skills and who knows, maybe in the future there will be more US players try and get in to our football (footy) AFL/Aussie Rules.

I'm not 100% sure of the rules, but I can see one day that punters will get more creative and kick directly to players and set up touch downs via kicks across the field.

simple... tradition. It's a game of passing and running... not kicking.

In American football.. kickers aren't even considered football players..

NFL has kickers??? :lol:

But this is the thing, maybe it's not the kicker... maybe it's a player close to the quarterback who can get handed the ball. The problem is you can't bend a throw, but you can bend a kick. You can kick to a position with your back turned to the play if you have the skills. You could have the player with the ball going back 20 yards and then kick it to the touch down line. It would turn the game on it's head.

Fucking kickball. Good lord, when it's world cup time, that's all they watch at work. Watch these people run and run and run and run only to get the ball taken away by someone who then has to run and run and run, and at the end of it, it's 1 to 1. Fuck that.

Aussie Rules football is pretty intense. It's like these guys get to turn on their prison colony DNA and go berserk.
Some of these hits are freakin' scarey.

At 2:29, classic.

Oh...I've made a decision....if they get rid of kickoffs/FGs in the NFL, I'm taking that year off, and STILL saying FUCK GOODELL.

by **mikemarrs** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:31 am

In my opinion Roger Goodell is walking a very fine line trying to evolve the game while not sacrificing too much of the style and way the game is played.There is always room for improvement and changes just as long as he knows to keep the traditional aspects of the game intact.I'm not a big fan of eliminating the kickoff because that is the way the game starts.Also if you get rid of the return game you are cutting out another important part of the game.Every season we are seeing more and more rules about not being able to lay big hits on the quarterback or the receiver going for the ball.It seems like he is watering things down maybe a bit too much.

For instance next season the Super Bowl is being played in New York City dead in the middle of winter and there is no dome this time like when the game is played in Detroit.Don't get me wrong i think its pretty cool to see the big game played in the elements where weather could be a factor but it is going to irritate a lot of people because the game is going to be played in cold conditions.Most of the people who go to the Super Bowl probably make a higher income than the average fan and don't want to deal with the factors the weather will bring.There are also people who say that the big game should be held in a neutral spot with near perfect conditions like it normally always is.

Agree or disagree but i'm not really a big fan overall of where Goodell is taking the league and i don't think a lot of the players or fans like all these changes the commissioner is making to the game.

Kaepernick is fun to watch... but I think the Niners are gonna have a RGIII moment with him.

by **Liam** » Sat Mar 02, 2013 1:30 pm

Flacco agrees...
