Just another angle to keep in mind in a game full of possabilities. Oh, and I've always wondered why refs aren't full time. Might add to the consistnecy if they were. I've never ref'd football, but I have ref'd soccor and I think football has to be the hardest sport to ref just because of the speed, chaos, and coagulation of players on the field. The only reason I can think of for not having full time refs is to discourage any form of cheating like was recently seen in the NBA. A missed field goal though is a live ball just like a fumble.

Strange about the kickoff rule. Could be it was changed back to on side getting a second chance. Sure doesn't seem logical. But then, when you have a field goal blocked and it doesn't go past the line of scrimage, you still can run, pass or whatever like any other offensive play. I think the rule should be changed so that the only thing the team attempting a field goal can do is recover the ball to determine the other teams starting scrimmage line. After all, by trying a field goal you are, in effect, surrendering possession of the ball. Not only don’t refs get paid enough, they should be full time NFL employees, not a part time job.

I know what you're talking about, but it seems to me it was last year that you got one shot. Maybe this year they reversed it again to the two chances. Like I said, referees don't get paid enough.

Kinda like they suddenly started wearing the orange alternates last year? Either way, I prefer the regular blue and orange. My favorite was the uniform with blue jersey and pants, but they don't use that one any more. It's too bad, that one was awesome. I wonder if they’ll start using those uniforms once a year?

You used to get a second chance on onside attempts, but that was changed this year and you now get only one shot at an onside attempt. baylinorcrush:
