Roger Goodell says NFL considering eliminating extra point

MTK · 01-22-2014, 01:01 PM

Things that necessarily weren't broke at the time, but were changed to improve the game for safety or entertainment:

Forward passes were once illegal, touchdowns were once 4 points and FGs were 5, horse-collar tackles were legal, before '94 there were no 2 point conversions, sudden death OT came along in '74, before '70 jerseys didn't have player names on them, in '78 a 2nd wilcard team was added, in '74 the goal posts were moved back, etc., etc.

Down the road I doubt we'll ever hear anyone say, you know I really miss the PAT.
