If I had to pick, w/out question, I would take the playoff games. I'm just confused why the league needs more revenue.

The league needs more revenue because, face it, it's tough to live on only $9 billion.

Well, for one thing, Goodell has said he wants a revenue goal of $25 billion in the next 13 years.

But that's beside the point. More importantly really is the NFL is a major major business. And, major or not, what business says "we don't need more revenue"?

A business that's closing up shop.

So what are people's thoughts on the no-dunking the ball over the goal post rule?

Call it the Jimmy Graham rule I guess. If he didn't break that one last year I doubt the rule comes about.

Plus with the talk of possibly extending the goal posts and making them longer, they'll be even more top heavy and more of a possible hazard if they get tipped over. The last thing anyone needs is for the posts to come down in the crowd and injure people.

Yeah, I kind of see your point on that!

I think if they are going to add another "No Fun Rule" to the league on TD celebrations, then they need to reverse an existing one. I would love to see a return of the "Fun Bunch" high five!
