I dont understand how the NFL can worry so much about the extra point. We dont watch the sport for extra points. At this point, just do away with it and go with the option of going for 2 by doing a +1/-1 thing with it. TD is 7 points, if you choose to "go for 2", then add 1 point if successful and subtract 1 point if not.

They have worried about length of games and added rules to keep them at 3 hours (out of bounds is now treated as a first down in college except in last 5 minutes of each half. Half times were shortened from 15 minutes to 12, etc). Remove the extra point and allow us to see more football in that 3 hours.
