Quote:I don't know where you got that he said that, because he never said that no changes should have been made.

 

Progress is good.  But Change for the Sake of Change is not progress.  That every change has had a segment arguing against it, doesn't automatically make the people arguing against this change wrong.  Nor does it make the people arguing against the other changes wrong just because the changes still exist (assuming they still do)

 

For example the Tuck Rule, which was in effect from 1999 - 2013.  It was recently repealed by the league.  

Every change they make, no matter how successful the league is, doesn't make the change 'right'.  Otherwise rules would never be reversed.  The league and it's owners are not infallible.  Change can absolutely be bad.

 

You seem to be suggesting that they are infallible because they are successful.  That is not the case.  Being successful does not mean being perfect.

 

 

We are talking about the extra point! You sure you want to make your stand on they're ruining the game on the extra point? The most boring play in football (or all of sports). You really think it's wrong to bring up the possibility of changing it? Oh, the horror!

 

There are things about the NFL that can be discussed and argued that get to the real heart of the game. The extra point ain't one of them.

 

Some people just rise to the bait every time. I mean, my god, people on here are still arguing about the Jaguars helmets. No wonder some people have a near stroke when talking about the sacred extra point.

 

I think a lot of credibility is lost when people act like the extra point was part of the original Ten Commandments.
