What you hate about football and why you are wrong (#7)

I would just like to point out that yes I know things like the kneel down and fair catches are good strategy and can also protect against injury. I did not write this with the player in mind at all. This is what I like to call humor. Though it may not be your type of humor, you should have been able to recognize that it is intended to be humor nonetheless. Unless it went over your head or through it, much like when I miss Tony Siragusa's "unprecedented field level analysis". But when you think about it, you didn't have to write every reason why you think I am wrong. If you don't care for it, the answer is elementary...don't read it.

Thanks for the comments

PS. Woah woah woah, back up a minute...John Madden didn't write all the programming for the Madden football games? Are you sure?

I appreciate your take, but we both are cognizant that many of the topics you address are problematic and unlikely to be remedied in the foreseeable future. The NFL is the preeminent sporting entity and to utilize such a potentially devastating and flawed overtime will come to haunt this great league. Imagine the Sunday your beloved team loses a playoff game, conference championship or Super Bowl to an opponent who won the toss, moved the ball 40 yards and kicked a f...ing field goal from 50 some yards out while your offense watched helplessly.
I wish that fate on no fan or their team, but I fear only an injustice of this magnitude will force the hands of NFL owners to move overtime rules into the 21st century.
