    The way the proposal reads, nothing really changes except the PAT is assumed good under current rules.

    The Texans kicker probably missed the majority of those "5 missed extra points".

    I would change the proposed policy that Goodell offered.

    I have an idea that I think would be sick and I think I will actually try to e-mail Roger Goodell, no bullshit.

    Everyone should have to go for the 2 pts.

    XFL had a 3 pt conversion from the 10 yard line. NFL should do this.

    They should move the kick back. What is it like 20 yds? NFL kickers could be piss drunk and make that kick. It's too easy. Having to go for two every td is ridiculous. This isn't a fukkin video game here. Give them 7 for a td and a conversion is 1 extra, but do not make the conversion play mandatory.

    Btw, bill belicheck started all this hoopla and cried to media to have nfl get rid of it. Go figure

    Have zero problem with getting rid of the XP. Still find it hilarious when idiots cheer during it or yell, "Block that Kick."

    While we're at it, let's make slam dunks in the NBA one point for any player that is over 6'6", 2 points for any player who is 6'5" to 6', and 3 points for any player who is under 6' or is white.

    If the TD scoring player can dunk the ball over the goal post, then they get the extra point.

    Now that will never happen. Too much money involved.

    I do think they need to stop going to commercial whenever they score and then coming back for the punt and going right back to commercial. It sucks and kills momentum. I'd rather they take a longer commercial break than do that.

    If a little feller like Tolbert , MJD, or Wes Welker scores the TD, they are allowed to jump off of the back of the Quarterback and ONLY the Quarterback while he is on his hands and knees.

    So to get the extra point you can either:

    A.) Dunk the ball over the goal post yourself

    or

    B.) Launch off of your Quarterback's back while he is on his hands and knees and dunk it.

    If the Quarterback rushes the TD in himself he can choose any player from his team OR the opposing team's head coach get down on his hands and knees to be used as a dunking aid.

    If they are going to abolish PAT because they are automatic then they need to abolish 1st and Goal from the 1 yard line because the TD's are automatic.

    Do you see how stupid this proposal is?

    Move the extra point back to the 10 yard line, make it a bigger test.

    zero chance they drop the pat.

    it's the exclamation point of the td.
