Hell, there are like 10x more spaces before periods in your posts in the last month than mussed PATs this season.
that is really the best argument for keeping PAT.

now i need to choke my pee mid-stream so i can get back to see the kickoff and eventual touchback?

if entertainment is the goal, how would taking a football play away add entertainment?

id rather have 123 footbal plays in a game than 119.

id rather leave the 1% chance a kicker may miss a PAT to tie the game in closing seconds.

isnt a missed PAT to tie or win the game a super entertaining play?

i just dont see a compelling argument to change it and i think the compelling reason would have to substantially outweigh any counter benefit to allow for a rule change.

but if entertainment is the reason ... isnt any football play more entertaining than none at all?
