Off the headline I was coming in to say you aren’t the only one.
On reading further I see we aren’t talking the same thing.
I hate the kickoff and have for a very long time. It’s a stupid and pointless play. It was grossly dangerous so they whipped up the rules that has turned it safer, but even more pointless.
I will always think the best idea is no more kickoffs. Team gets ball at the 25. Every time. That’s not grossly off what we have now.
Obviously punting should stay the same as that fluid field positioning. But kickoffs can and should fuck off. It really wouldn’t change any dynamics and would just take an annoying and pointless part of the game away.
Simple. Don’t fix it, kill it.
NFL likely won’t. What a stupid headline. Involved himself?
He’s cleared to be on the sideline to do the job he does. He was right in front of the play. He saw his own player pop up to come back at Greenlaw. He inserted himself in the middle to try to deter any further bullshit. Greenlaw pointed at him and incidentally touched him.
Had the man been wearing 31 other hats in his job as security this wouldn’t even be such a thing.
There are just way too many dumb motherfuckers on all sides. He wasn’t out of his duties at that moment. And that wasn’t a fucking punch.
The PF was an absolute. But ejection of either the player or the security guy was not needed. That was just dumb…so of course it just fed all the dummies on all sides.
