    Potential new NFL rules

    Yes, the incentive is for kickers to not kick it into the end zone, and in doing so, returns are required by the receiving team. I suspect if it isn’t painful enough, the touchback will move to the 35 in subsequent seasons to further incentivize landing in the landing zone.

    Potential new NFL rules

    So the way the rule is drafted, a kick that hits the end zone on the fly results in a touchback to the 30-yard line, while a kick bouncing in and being downed is a touchback to the 20. If you want to give teams a chance to have some fun with it, make a kick sailing through the uprights on the...

    Potential new NFL rules

    I mean, I think the current kickoff really sucks. 78% of kicks were not returned last year. There were only 4 TDs, down from double digits for much of the 2000s. We spend 10 plays a game watching literally nothing happen for 10 seconds. I think this is great for keeping the play in the game...

    NCAA Tournament 2nd Round Sunday Thread

    If this Duke team is engaged, they’re a Final Four team. The whole problem has been drifting against weaker competition.

    Colorado has generated some wide open looks but hasn’t capitalized.

    3/23 - Floor the Flyers

    Any idea what we’re seeing then? Because he seems to get outmuscled and is very passive in his own zone, doesn’t have any burst and can’t carry through the neutral zone, and isn’t finding the seams he did last year. At least from what I see. And I thought he carried the team with McAvoy out last...

    3/23 - Floor the Flyers

    If other teams have been watching this year, probably not much. His play has been so disappointing, especially given how good he was last year in the regular season. I know the injury has been mentioned, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player go from dominant in all areas to not having one...

    3/21 - Rage Against the Rags

    This was it. The Bruins didn’t play great but they gave them the first two goals and then the third was just a mess from Lindholm and Swayman. This was a winnable game despite not playing great if they didn’t directly contribute to two goals.

    3/21 - Rage Against the Rags

    I mean the guy was a stud all of last year until the playoffs, but he’s completely broken right now.

    Should Lindholm be on the playoff roster?

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I really like Brazeau. He looks kind of goofy out there because he's so big and any time he has to change direction it's a whole process, but he knows where to get to on the ice and always seems to put the puck into dangerous areas.

    3/14 - Gotta Have It vs The Habs

    If 1 in 50 turns into a goal but you lose all 50 draws a game, then it’s a problem.
