Interesting proposal NFL owners to discuss.

Hiring minority candidates as head coaches or general managers would improve your draft picks.

Under this plan, a team could move up five spots in the fourth round if a minority head coach or general manager successfully entered the third year on the job, according to the report. Retaining a minority quarterbacks coach after one year would net a fourth-round compensatory pick, a nod to the importance of quarterback expertise to the head-coaching pipeline, according to the report.

Conversely, losing minority candidates to other teams would earn draft capital -- a third-round compensatory pick for a minority candidate leaving to become a head coach or general manager and a fifth-round compensatory pick to the former team for a coordinator hire.

New proposal for the onside kick to be discussed. A team could go for it it would be a 4th-and-15 from their 25-yard line. Sounds like support for the idea is growing. Would only be allowed twice each team in a game.

I’m sure they used this in the XFL and also trialled it at the Pro Bowl. The onside kick is borderline impossible to recover for the kicking team so this does at least provide an intriguing alternative.

An onside kick, under the old rules, contributed to one of the most incredible and improbable comebacks in the history of the NFL (2013 NFC Champ Game - Packers v Seahawks) - don’t know why we can’t go back to the original rules, it wasn’t broken?

It’s all about player safety.

Guess the new name:-

Washington Warriors

Washington Redtails is the best logo design I've seen the spitfire looks amazing they should go with that. Warriors people already link that with NBA and Golden State.

The Bills just sent me an email saying they will offer all season ticket holders the chance to sit this year out and keep their seat and seniority for next year. I'll probably have to accept. As a Canadian who needs to cross the border (closed for the foreseeable future) to attend games, this year will be the first year since 2004 I'm going to end up missing games.

US / Canada border is closed until at least July 31st (from middle of March) and 14 day quarantines are mandatory until Aug 31 for anyone who re-enters the country. I'm sure the border closure will be extended another month or more seeing as parts of the US treat Covid-19 like a big party.

DC Redskins.

Shamelessly stolen from a site almost as unusable as The Argus'.

To be honest I only went Warriors as I like alliteration in sports team. Pittsburgh Penguins, Jacksonville Jaguars, LA Lakers... you get the idea.

Just had a look on social media and the Redtails is by far and away the fan’s favourite.

I like it, a lot.

The Bills have certainly picked a bad year to be looking at a deep playoff run for the first time in decades.

Terrible luck.
Think this could be the year for the Bills.

This is The Bills you're discussing.
They are probably better off in a world of 'what might have been'.

DarrenFreemansPerm · Jul 4, 2020

What happens if this years NFL season doesn’t happen, is there still a draft next year or do the college players have to miss a year?

Surely you’d like to see them win just one?

It’ll happen definitely, too much money involved.

The commencement of training camp will be important

I thought Trey Parker and Matt Stone had sorted this out already. Washington Go **** Yourself.

South Park Season 18 episode 1 free to view if you have amazon prime, well worth watching. The Cartman presentations are brilliant.
