Fuck it up. Things need a shake-up. No more field goals. No more fair catches.

jonkatora.bsky.social•70 days ago

I know, right? Imagine if they did this after every touchdown, or (heaven forbid) field goals. Two kicks back-to-back is the effing worst.

scooper9.bsky.social•70 days ago

All in service of a little pizzaz

internetfella.bsky.social•70 days ago

i think we're all discounting the value of pizzazz here.

scooper9.bsky.social•70 days ago

Pizzazz hits different tho

internetfella.bsky.social•70 days ago

sorely lacking in the modern world, in these trying times

patrickhowell.bsky.social•70 days ago

Let's add a kickoff after every commercial break

coletheskunk.bsky.social•70 days ago

Kicking a ball with your foot in a sport called Football?
Preposterous!

schuur1231.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s all about the ✨pizazz✨

frankwritestuff.bsky.social•70 days ago

Uhhhh this sounds kinda cool.

sundaytrucker.bsky.social•70 days ago

Football, like pro wrestling, only works if heavily scripted.

zoyx.bsky.social•70 days ago

How about a rule where you must end your drive before 5 minutes of game clock?

jonfmorse.com•70 days ago

Nobody has asked the important question:

What rule was it that was a compromise to this one?

tbrianwolf.bsky.social•70 days ago

In the 80s, everyone saw what happened with New Coke and said "how can we get some of that"

katsuragisystem.bsky.social•70 days ago

new video idea

No surprise Calhoun was in favour of this, any excuse for more standing and walking

yankeefinn.bsky.social•70 days ago

I'm certain there were finger-guns at the end there

schuur1231.bsky.social•69 days ago

Quite possibly jazz hands

trosen76.bsky.social•70 days ago

Wait, who would get the kickoff? Would they rotate it like in basketball who gets the ball to start each quarter? So if you're 1st and goal on the 1 and get stuffed but time runs out in the 3rd quarter, too bad you're kicking off to the other team? That's insane

comedysavage.bsky.social•70 days ago

Why is it insane at the end of quarter 1 and 3 but not the end of quarter 2?

trosen76.bsky.social•70 days ago

I guess we're used to the halftime phenomenon but that's a fair point I suppose.

torento11.bsky.social•70 days ago

Is this better or worse than the Golden At Bat idea?

nerney00.bsky.social•70 days ago

More kicking is good

qua12.bsky.social•70 days ago

Some rule change proposals don't make sense and are out of whack👍

nimalcrackers.bsky.social•70 days ago

Mm I don’t know I’m really intrigued by the amount of pizazz that would have added to the game

mitchellatencio.com•70 days ago

on the flipside maybe it would have forced them to take concussions seriously sooner/s

maniagnosis.bsky.social•70 days ago

Not as badly as it would fuck up basketball.

leotheironrock.bsky.social•70 days ago

NFL Blitz-ass rule.

lawstylist.bsky.social•70 days ago

I would go for it if it added pizzas to the game

geno1510.bsky.social•70 days ago

This is an excellent idea.

leo907.bsky.social•69 days ago

There was a pizza place called Pizazz Pizza in my hometown when I was little. Shockingly little pizazz, but pretty good pizza.

mrcaz.bsky.social•70 days ago

This sucks, but more rules should be pizazz-oriented.

knitdan.bsky.social•70 days ago

Twice as many opportunities for NFL Head Coaches to fuck up clock management

alopex-ii.bsky.social•70 days ago

Rob Manfred is going to see this and add a kickoff to the start of every inning for the pizzazz

ogvek.bsky.social•68 days ago

in other news, paul o'neill just announced he's making a comeback

grungehamster.bsky.social•70 days ago

"This game doesn't have nearly enough CTE opportunities."

lfn.bsky.social•70 days ago

But jon, think of the pizazz

jimimc.bsky.social•70 days ago

Look, I like to chow down on some pepperoni pies as much as the next guy, but I don't see how four '2 minute drills' will add little ones to the game.

hansketchup.bsky.social•69 days ago

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social pls discuss
