Yeah I don't like that idea. People block pats, also it takes the fake FG two point conversion off the table. The PAT only takes a second, I don't see what the big deal is.

Well at least Richard Sherman said one thing right. This is his reaction to Shithawk fans throwing popcorn at the injured NaVorro Bowman:
"One thing I can't accept is what I read after the game about Seahawks fans throwing food at 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman as he was being carted off the field with his knee injury," Sherman wrote. "If it's true, it's beyond terrible. That's as low as it gets. I'm sure whoever did this is in a small minority of fans, because I don't think that kind of action is an accurate representation of the character of the 12th man. Bowman is a great player who plays the game the right way. When he went down, I dropped to a knee and prayed for him. He deserves better than having food thrown at him as he's carted off a field. All players deserve better than that."

What if a drive stalls at the opponent's 2 yard line and the offense decides to kick a field goal. Would that be an automatic 3 or would the team still have to run the play?
I don't like the idea. I wish they would just keep football the way it is. I like it this way, stop changing it.

I say move it back to the 25 or 30 or whatever, it would increase the likelihood of 2 point conversions (decreasing field goals PATs) but whatever it'll increase the craziness of the PAT and that's a better choice rather than just eliminating it all together. Or just don't change it at all, god damn Rodger Goodell.

Yea! Fuck getting rid of it, let's make it harder!
If they get rid of extra points then next thing you know they'll be getting rid of kick offs, and so on and so on, until football is no more.

EnjoyWho is right. The owners own the game. That's why they are called owners. If the fans owned the game, how many games would be played in Europe or Mexico or Canada? Less than one, I'd bet.
Ultimately the owners can do whatever they want. If they fuck things up they might start to lose money if people stop going to / watching games and buying tickets and merchandise. But the NFL continues to see profits grow year after year. So they would REALLY have to fuck something up. And despite making a ton of changes since let's say 1991, the game continues to become more and more popular and profitable.

I know I'm right. But thanks anyway. Good post. If he honestly believes the fans own tje sport beside the people that own the teams/stadiums/tv contracts/ merchandise that is laughable. All I did was 
Doesn't matter how much they change it honestly. It's ever growing and I think viewership and the cult following is ever rising and not going anywhere.

If Manning is able to play next season, his New Jersey income tax would be $46,989 on $92,000 for winning the Super Bowl, or 51.08%. If they lose and he is able to play in 2014, he will pay New Jersey $46,844 on his $46,000, which amounts to a 101.83% tax on his actual Super Bowl earnings in the state—and this does not even consider federal taxes!
