Just a quick note!
NFL IS BACK!
Starting tonight at 5:00PM Pacific Time!The NFL is back and this year is more
exciting than the last! The NFL has done
it again by introducing new rules for the
players to adhere to during this season.
The biggest old rule that will be watch
and flagged is the JERSEY GRABBING.
5 Yards and automatic 1st down.
Expanded Clipping
When a player hits or rolls up the back or side of a players legs this will be a 15 yard penalty.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Abusive language directed at the officials or opponent will result in a 15 yard penalty. Any celebrations involving a prop (the ball etc..) will get a 15 yard penalty. There will be no dunking the ball this year.
Reviewable fumbles
All fumbles or a potential fumble will be reviewed no matter where it happens on the field. This was only reviewable in the end zone last year. HUH?
Replay Assistance
When a Ref goes into the booth they can now call for assistance to the leagues officiating department in New York for assistance.???
This could slow things down!
Anyway the most beloved sport in the USA is back and everyone is excited to put on their favorite team or players jersey on and talk smack. The fun of getting together for cook outs and dusting off the 500 inch TV is now here! The most appealing thing is all the player moves and additions make each year a new and exciting one. Just when you think you know a team "WahLa" it is all different. Enjoy!
