Roger Goodell says NFL considering eliminating extra point

[KI Skins Fan]

From cbssports.com:

The NFL is looking at making extra point attempts 43-yards long.

"The extra point is almost automatic. I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd," Goodell said at the time. "So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."

One way to add excitement to the extra point is to make the kick longer and that's exactly what the competition committee is discussing. According to NFL.com, the league is in the very early stages of a discussion that could lead to extra points being moved back from the 2-yard line to the 25-yard-line for the 2014 preseason. That would make the kick a 43-yard attempt instead of a 20-yard attempt.

More stupidity from the mind of Roger Goodell! Here's the scenario I imagine: Two teams struggle against one another in the wind, rain and mud for four quarters only to have the game hinge on a nearly unmakeable 43-yard extra point attempt off the foot of a virtual non-participant! That makes no sense whatsoever. What the hell is this ridiculous commissioner trying to do to my favorite sport?!
