Problem w/ Tebow is this...he's dead set on being a QB.
He's athletic, versatile, got size and is smart...valuable assets for any player. Almost any team could use him at various positions but he insists on being the QB which is why he was the last cut in NE.
IIRC, Belicheck approached him on playing FB and TE... Tebow declined.

Stevie Johnson just signed with the Chargers after visiting New England.
So what`s going on with New England, are they so use to discount shopping that they refused to from the dollar store to Walmart É
With Amendola restructuring and Wilfork, Browner, Revis, Vereen etc gone surely the cap space is there.
Since Johnson is probably the 5th or 6th quality FA to visit and sign elswhere, am starting to get a bad feeling about whats going on in NE.

According to overthecap.com, the Pats are about $12.8m under the cap....

Owners looking at new rules changes.

But to allow the replay official stop play after every flag will make the game even longer.
And having the PAT from the 15 yard line is ridiculous, and pretty much eliminates the 2-pt conversion.
As for OT, I like the idea of both teams getting a possession, but I wish they'd just adopt the college/high school rule. Works pretty well for them, and would for the NFL as well.

I agree with the fixed camera at the goal/side lines.

If they do adapt the College OT rules I can see them moving the ball back to say the 40 yard line.
Thus making at least 3 points not a gimme, like it is in College.
If you gain no yards, you might actually have to punt, as it would be a 57 yard FG.
I have no problem with moving it back, College (25 yd) is further back than High School (10 yd), so NFL should be further back that College. Just put the NFL where the CFL has it, at 35 yd.
Could even adopt the CFL rule where every PAT has to be a 2-pt conversion, not just after the 3'rd possession like college.
I don't like the going for 2 then being able to get a "Bonus" point with a 55 yard field goal.
I liked the old CFL rule 2 5 minute half's 2 kickoffs. since we just hate FG'S no dang FG'S. ties where they that bad really ? more instant gratification crap.
Give the coach 3 flags for replay a game. if he was right he gets it back. no time outs involved..kiss

Looks like the NFL will nail the Jets for tampering in the Revis case.
Punishment? I hope they're forced to take back Rex Ryan

In this country there are laws against cruel and unusual punishment.

Looks like the Bears are continuing with their addition of free agents. Today they signed Ray McDonald and Jarvis Jenkins.
Jets filed tampering charges against the Pats for Kraft's "of course we wanted him back" comment on Revis last Friday.
Just when most thoughts the Jets couldnt sink any lower...they pull out these sour grapes.

Retaliation for the Pats charge against the Jets in January, that's all...

The last time I was involved in a "you did it to me so am doing it to you" was in kindergarten
Big problem with going for 2pt conversion after each TD is a bigger concern for injuries, not sure the NFLPA would for that, not that they have a choice, but they should, the players would be the ones doing the work. Just seems like there could be way too many injuries. But then again the owners and the NFL don't really care about safety. They only care about making as much money as possible. That's why they want to add 2 teams to the playoffs each year. Makes more money. Also reason they want 18 game schedules, but the NFLPA has to approve it in the CBA, and I doubt that happens anytime soon without the players getting more money for risking more each year.
Rob Gronkowski hurt his arm on a kicking XP, so guys can get hurt on any play...

Falcons lose a 5th round pick in next years draft, fined $350,000, and McKay is suspended from competition committee for one year. I was starting to believe the penalty would be much worse.
Well that's Goodell for you, punish Players worse, and let the owners/GMs/Team off with a slap on the wrist, after all, it's the owners who pay him his ridiculous $40M salary a year.
