This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think it’s a terrible idea. Handfighting by receivers by inigomontoya

is part of the game, bumping receivers is part of the game. Now teams will plan around creating contact for big gains whenever they are trailing by x points in the second half.

From what I’ve read coaches still can’t challenge in last 2 minutes...but then are teams going to be burning timeouts late in games in hopes some ref in a booth/New York parses through replays to find contract down field or a hold on plays?

As they say, holding can be called on pretty much every single play.

This is going to be ridiculous. More timeouts, more people screaming about inconsistencies on contact/handfighting—he touched him first...see there! Right there! They didn’t call it last time??? Now they are???

This change is going to make people fans, coaches, players completely crazy.
