Has there been any change to football the last 15 or so years that’s been a net positive?

The NFL kickoff thing is absurdly stupid

I was going to say abolishing the "force out" rule, but that was 17 years ago.

I do think guaranteeing both teams a possession in overtime was a good change. They just fully changed that rule this year, in fact.

I’m still watching, but I’m starting to care less and less. There’s just been way too many changes. College football was far and away my favorite sport, but it’s fading fast. The hottest love has the coldest end-Socrates-Oldmanbeasley

Fumbling in (I mean out of bounds) opponent’s end zone resulting in a turnover/touchback is a stupid rule that should be changed. But nooooo let’s leave that be.

And I still have absolutely no idea what a catch is.

We need lasers and AI for ball spotting.

And non-Bama/more transparent reviews.

Something about the completely subjective offensive holding calls. Way too easily abused (freaking autocomplete has gone full tard) and game-changing.


Or just leave all that and let’s f things up with more Bama mulligans and second-rate teams in playoffs, stupid recruiting/signing timing, incentivizing player disloyalty, etc.

Other than all that, it’s a pristine amateur sport.

Coaches are thinner in the post Mangino and Friedgen era. That is about all I got on the college side of things.

You have to remember, Roger Goodell hates the game of football and NFL fans.
