Kirk Gibson:  Bo knows baseball.

Jim Everett:  Bo knows football.

Michael Jordan:  Bo knows basketball, too.

John McEnroe:  Bo knows tennis?

John Benoit:  Bo knows running!  

Wayne Gretsky [skates up to the camera]:  NO.  

Those were great commercials

Members of the NFL competition committee and league leaders met here Sunday and discussed potential major modifications to the kickoff. Participants emerged from the approximately four-hour meeting with growing conviction that the committee might propose significant changes by which the NFL could implement a version of the XFL kickoff model as soon as next season.

 

The NFL’s consideration of the XFL kickoff alignment, or something resembling it, means the kicker would line up in roughly the traditional spot on the field to kick the ball.  The other members of the kicking team would begin the play lined up far down the field, perhaps only five yards from the blockers for the receiving team. That would attempt to reduce the space and speed elements of the kickoff that result in such violent collisions and frequent injuries.

83.3% were touchbacks last year, up from 65.8% prior to the rule making a fair catch inside 25yds a touchback.  If that's not safe enough, just eliminate the kickoff altogether.

Yes, but is it good for the Cowboys? Maybe, if this kid is an heir, it'll be a soap opera, like, I dunno, Dallas, and the family will have to sell the team!

KC gets an "A".  How'd your team do?  

[liquidcrystalcompass]

The Cowboys got an A- but not drafting a running back has me puzzled.  We are extremely thin at RB.  Oh, but we resigned Elliott.
