NFL Commish may do away with extra point

[DecrypticShadow]

So, let me get this straight....

 

Teams would be automatically awarded the extra point after scoring a Touchdown? If not, would they just have to settle for 6 points, unless they attempted a 2 point conversion? If the "extra point" is awarded automatically, would players only line up on the 2 yard line if the offense wished to attempt a 2 point conversion(which would actually turn into a 1 point conversion)?

 

This is going to boggle the minds of many Las Vegas odds makers and sports cappers. Haha.

Serious question.  When was the last time a major rule change was made in Baseball?

Here you go.

 

 

 

1969 The pitcher's mound was dropped five inches. The strike zone was shrunken to the area from the armpits to the top of the batter's knees. The save rule was added to the official rules for the first time.

 

1971 All major-league players were ordered to wear protective helmets.

 

1973 The rule on glove size and color was minutely outlined for standardization. The American League began using designated hitter for pitchers on an experimental basis.

 

1974 The save rule was rewritten. Minimum standards for individual championships were outlined.

 

1975 The ball was permitted to be covered with cowhide because of the shortage of horses. Suspension for three days became mandatory if batter were to hit a fair ball with a filled, doctored or flat-surfaced bat. The save rule was changed again.

2008

MLB adds limited (home run calls, fair or foul) instant reply to be in effect for all games starting on Friday, August 29th.

Instead of moving it back to the 25, let's move it up by a yd.

 

This will entice many teams to go for two and add intrigue to the game without destroying it.  Using the extra pt or two pt that is already in place

 

Course with the Panther goal line offense, we would still be kicking

Our 2003 game against the bucs doesn't like this.

The commissioner doesn't decide such things.

You're right. But his hand selected people do. Its like how we Americans dont technically vote for the president. Middle men involved everywhere. Job still gets done

The owners decide.

Like I said, move it to the 20, make it interesting.

Also, raise the rim in the NBA by a foot while you are at it.

If they take away the extra point ... then they should score FG's on distance

[csx]

They should just leave it alone. It's made the game what it is today. Why muck around with something that is so successful.

There's one reason for EVERYTHING Goodell has done. Lets see if I can sum it up...
