The NFL Rule That Needs To Be Changed

Earlier this week, NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman suggested that the NFL rule book need to be re-written.

He’s right.  But I’ll go a step further.

The NFL rule book needs to be burned.  The league should completely start over.

Aside from the fact that football is an increasingly dangerous game, the biggest problem is — we’re increasingly forcing men in their 50s and 60s to make game-altering decisions.  They have to make razor-thin judgment calls.  And, they often get it wrong.  With NFL players getting bigger and faster, and the game now impossible to decipher without the use of instant replay, games aren’t necessarily won and lost on the field anymore.  Wins and losses are increasingly determined by an official’s marginal call.
