I'm sick of this season. It seems that my cat was sick of that parrot.

Unless something cool happens, it's gonna get harder and hard to sell tickets. I could hear the sounds of fans in the Dome asking themselves "and we paid 10k just for tickets to watch this??"

I would like to see the NFL go to the College Football OT format except for you have to go for 2pts...no extra point kicks.

Or move it back 20 yards and make the extra points 53 yards and mandatory the first two OT's, then go to 2 points only. Make having the better kicker part of the equation.

Author is right about OT and the safety issues. I said after last season that it was personal fouls/player safety that needs to made reviewable, not pass interference, and I still stand by that. College is on the right track with automatically reviewed targeting.

Sports are supposed to be crazy and full of anguish. That's kind of the point.
