https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootba ... ckoff-ruleNo surprise from the league as they continue to feign concern for players. Its not a low-impact kickoff, give me a break.
My thoughts are that the USFL kickoff is the best. Roger Goodell has been ruining the NFL since he arrived as commissioner. His rule changes have really hurt the game of FB imo.
The league went after the K/O because of appearances to address a lawsuit, nothing more. Is it really generating that many injuries. No. The UFL data shows that.
Is he addressing QBs running too much and getting hurt? No. In fact all the special QB rules encourage it. Too many games played ? - hell no they added a week and another 2 playoff games too.
How about artificial turf injuries - no lawsuit and adds cost, and per players a bigger concern than concussions. Also its the primary reason why injuries occur during a horse collar tackle.
The traditional NFL style K/O is awesome. UFL viewers will enjoy it far better.
As far as well the NFL does it we should too argument... then have a PAT be a 33yd kick and no 5/7yd 2/3 tries either or 1 foot in bounds catches.
Let the UFL be different on K/O's (and yet the same as real NFL K/O of the past), again viewers will enjoy it.

BTW who made the last "argument", projection much?
I liked the next piece and his whinefest about the NFL playing on Christmas Day, hmmmm the announcement comes on the tenth anniversary of one of the biggest numbnuts ever to become a billionaire declaring war on the league (guess you should have said "I'm out" on that one). Seems Florio should jump to Pro Basketball Talk, he loves the NBA so much.
I have to admit I love it. It does complicate things for the UFL though. As the UFL season progresses people are going to continue to wonder why the UFL is not doing it, and Moose Johnson will have to defend his stance continuously.

I think Daryl Johnston's ego with the USFL didn't do the XFL any favors during the merger. Johnston clearly didn't like anything the XFL was doing. He's a USFL homer and always will be.
