^Sweet616,

volleyball has lower nets for women.
golf has tees closer to the greens for women.
basketball has smaller basketballs for women.
softball fields have shorter outfield fences.

Each game is different for women.  I have no problem with that.  I am a huge supporter of women participating in women's athletics.  I think it is empowering and just plain healthy.  However, you can't honestly expect them to play with the same size balls.  Women have less upper body muscle mass and smaller hands.  The game would border on unwatchable.  Give them 9 1/2 foot rims and you'd see a better product.   Wink

btw, D, Donovan only put that in TO's face after TO questioned Donovan's heart....like you said, bad mistake.
also, nobody could counter my point of what McNabb has done throughout his career with shit receivers.  Amazing numbers with garbage to throw to...or should I say T(h)rash?   hihi  Only Brady has done more with lesser receivers.

NFL - I'd like to change the sudden death rule in the NFL and make it like the college football overtime.

I vote against 4 hour+ long games.   ok

I will agree to tweak the system by moving the kickoff spot up 5-10 yards.  I'd like to see that % we talked about earlier down from 62% to 50% like it was pre-2002.  (winning % of team winning the coin flip)  Sudden death is the ultimate drama in my eyes.   yes

I generally agree.  I'm sure it's at least in part due to the recent rule changes that are pro-offense.

Speaking of which, they need to re-do rules about a "blow to the head."  There are blows to the head, either intentional or dangerous, and there are otherwise.  I've seen defensive ends rush a quarterback, arms up to disrupt his lanes, and had the QB turn his own head into the DE's arm/hand.  That's hardly a blow to the head in any malicious or dangerous sense.  It needs to be more of a judgment call...maybe like the facemask penalties.

same goes for the punters who have turned into actresses aiming their follow-through into the nearest defensive player's body.

I was just coming to post:

"Running into the kicker"... What a piece of shit call.... Rouging the kicker is one thing, but fuck man... You'd see alot more block attempts on punts, without this... Cant blame a guy for no being able to stop his momentum, after fighting through defenders....

those two pass interference calls against the patriots were ridiculous. i think a team should really have to earn a chunk of 40 yards.

i think there's a better solution than the college system. i would incorporate the system for calling face masks 5 vs 15 yads; namely, blatant pass interference plays where it is clear the player would have very likely caught the ball, the penalty should be spot of the foul.

BUT, if there is just some minor illegal contact, i think it should only be a 15 yard penalty.

those calls were weak and i don't think the "interference" had much to do with the colts receivers not catching those balls.

I'm not certain I like that change.  If someone manages to get open in the endzone (on, say, a 40 yard pass), a defender can simply try to interfere, take the 15 yards, and it's a good choice.  Seems like they're gettin' off light.

But, I DO think there need to be fewer and fairer calls.  Incidental contact often is called, and offensive interference is called very rarely, in proportion to defensive interference. 

If the contact gives no advantage (no pulling the receiver down, pushing the defender away, etc.), then I say it's "scrapping for posistion," and I'm okay with it, if it's called fairly.

Just to go back a bit to our conversation on baseball instant replay. Looks like they're going to explore adopting VERY limited use for fair/foul and HR calls.  I'd say it's a lock for approval at the December meetings, and a good decision overall.

but in your scenario, the system i suggested would call for the ball to be placed at the 1. that would be considered the more extreme category.

I misread your post...thought you were advocating a system for pass interference that was identical to face masks...thus, for serious offenses, 15 yards.

Glad to see they'll have a replay official, rather than any sort of challenge system.  I can live with this.

I wouldn't say its a lock. I read the article and it sounds like Selig still needs to be convinced before the owners can vote on it. Then the players would have to as well. I wouldn't expect it to be adopted for the 08 season, Maybe the playoffs but i don't expect adoption for a full season until 09 at least.

Yeah, that's all baseball needs....something to make a typical 3 hour game last 4 hours....wonderful.

We can put a man on the moon, but we can't get major league baseball to make home plates "high tech?"  How hard would it be to level the plate securely and install equipment on the plates' borders that could detect if one stinking lace grazed the strike zone?  The strike zone could return to knees to xyphoid process.  We could keep umps around for the things the plate couldn't do.

Anybody else think that would be cool?
