NFL Tinker With Rules

The owners met last week and instituted several changes. We talk about the "one that got away". Well, at least it's been tabled. In an effort to give a trailing team a realistic chance to mount a comeback, the NFL was considering instituting a rule whereby the team would have an untimed down to convert a fourth-and-15 from their own 25-yard-line. We talk about the merits of the idea and alternatives to infuse some more excitement into a situation totally neutered by the ineffective on-sides kick.

​Jacked Up: Ham versus Lambert​
