| 90. The Roger Goodell influence continues to spread |
|
I'm convinced that decision would never have been made prior to his dainty term as commissioner.
Ridiculous restrictions on defense, including no tickling the QB above the neck or at the knee or lower. Massive fines. Absurd concocted playoff overtime rules when there was absolutely no need for them, as evidenced by this season, with a whopping 2 of 19 overtime games won on the first possession by the team winning the coin flip.
Goodell wants prancing touchdowns by unrestrained offenses, and 18 games worth beginning next season. A snow plow 3-0 treat like Miami/New England 1982 would leave him trembling, even though Sunday night would have been a famous game while Tuesday figures to be another lopsided tame conditions snore.
Kudos to Rendell for applying a massive dose of sanity. His only fault was not going far enough.
