New league will go without kickoffs, and NFL will watch closely
I like this idea, will be interesting to see how it goes.

I love this for the inevitable scenario where Andy Reid does this, wastes a timeout, and then punts.

Not sure I like the 4th and 10 option, could increase the conversion rate by quite a bit and while executing onside kicks well is a niche skill, it can be important enough for a good kicker/special teams unit to help sway a game. The 4th and 10 model just gives even more power to the teams with great QB's.
Might be more exciting, but not positive it's the best solution.

Aaron Rodgers meets the Dalai Lama, or vice versa
Meeting the Dalai Lama is cool and all but when did he and Danica get together? Maybe I just missed it.

I know this is from a couple weeks ago, but the saying is 'queer as a 3 dollar bill'. It plays on the fact that queer also means strange, and it would indeed be strange to see a 3 dollar bill.
I don't know if it was misused on the rogan show or if you misheard it, I just wanted you to know why we were poking fun

They're idiots, the kickoffs are far from the least interesting play in football. Extra points take that title. Followed closely by any FG under 35 yards. I think punts are more boring than kickoffs. The onsides kick alternative is lacking too. There needs to be another option like if your kicker can put it through the uprights from midfield or something like that. Or if you're better on defense, you can give it to the other team on the 35 with a 4th and 10.
I'll probably watch the new league though if it's carried anywhere.

true true.
IMO the only way for TNF to be truly "good" football is if the teams playing are coming off their bye weeks.
week 1 - no issue tnf is fine
week 2- skip if no bye weeks week one
week 3 teams on week 2 bye (if any) play- otherwise skip
week 4 etc... bye week 3 teams play.
repeat until no more bye weeks, if no bye week- no game.
that way the teams playing have a week and a half rest before the game, and a week and a half rest AFTER...

Im a die hard 49ers fan, but I used to collect throwback jerseys in highschool or acquire rare jersey types etc. Its just like a side hobby of mine. I recently got the raiders color rush mack jersey and the 1994 deion sanders 49ers jersey with 75th patch.
And yeah, imagine if Aldon Smith, Patrick Willis, Navarro Bowman all stood together and healthy after Harbaugh left and the Niners developed that defense with better picks instead of Baalke wasting a TON of draft capital on project players, guys coming off ACL's and shit, what a fucking terrible run of picks that guy made. Out of all of those picks only Tank Carradine really panned out and in the end he never really made a huge impact. The 49ers could have had one of the best defensive units of all time, instead Willis retired, Bowman suffered a gruesome leg injury and left, Aldon went off the deep end and that defense disintegrated.
Lynch is gone now as well, so basically every player from that era on defense is either gone, or was there after the core was dismantled (Jimmie Ward etc). The situation with Foster is a tragedy as well, and now the 49ers defense has been bad for 5 years in a row now.
