    And it was really exciting to see Tucker kick 5 balls out of the end zone, resulting in......nothing but wasted time going into another TV time out.

    Like I said, you ARE the dumbed down audience that longs for leather helmets, no forward passing, and limited 8-team scheduling via railroad travel.

    i wouldn't mind that the other team just got the ball at the 20. That way they could do away with the sequence: team scores touchdown--> commerical--> team kicks off and it is a touchback -->commercial.

    Oh wait a second the NFL would never do that. With all the commercials during games and all the stupid instant replays the game is getting close to becoming unwatchable.

    If I could do one thing to improve the game it would be to remove instant replay. The refs on the field are payed to call the game let them call it and live with their decisions.

    I say after every score the team captains are required to play Roshambo.

    I think ending KO's is ridiculous. There is nothing, nowhere else in sports as exciting as an opening to the event as a KO.

    Face off? First pitch? Tip Off? All pale to a KO, imho.

    Before computers in the 50's and 60's there was "Electric Football" it was to football as the Bud Bowl is to beer. Maybe we should try that instead.
