1 of 5 so far tonight…and only due to the no fair catch if ball is on field of play. I agree with that. But the rest is BS. Onside kicks are a thing of the past. Not sure, but seem to recall hearing that teams have to announce if they are executing an onside kick. What a crock if that is true. I have not been on the anti Goodell wagon until this crap.

I watch very little NFL these past few years. Wife is a KC fan and I am a Dallas fan (since I live here in TX)…outside of those two teams playing, very few other games have my attention. I can look online for results for my fantasy leagues results.

Saturdays are for football. 😀

I know no one wants to hear it, but they are in a tough spot to create excitement while also reducing injuries. Yes, football is a violent sport, but ignoring the concussions does no good. The original kickoff was causing more injuries. Once the NFL started agreeing to billion dollar settlements to lawsuits, these tweaks were going to made. Goodell just does what his owners want him to do.

Nice drop. Stagg, Taylor, Bookers, Blanton’s Gold, Eagle Rare, Little Book, and the Yellowstone are nice pours. Can’t tell which Russell’s that is…but if 13 or Rickhouse, add them to the list. Other Russells are solid.

I’m not a huge fan of Weller. Not familiar with Kosher. Heard Nelson Bros is decent. Can’t tell what is next to Russell. Is that Jacobs Pardon? Jack is okay. Regular Blanton’s is okay. Some others in the back rows I cannot tell what they are. But overall, great haul.

It was less than 20% last year. And I think there were literally zero successful onside kicks last year (might be wrong there, but very few), so I think they were done already anyway. And I don't think there were any surprise onside kicks either so again, nothing changes there.

I think this helps with making kickoff more exciting.

NFL kickoff rules are F’d up. Roger Goodell needs to be supplanted. Game is starting to resemble their Pro Bowl. Just give everyone flags.

Caveat: I am a fan of no fair catches on the field of play.

No fair catches?

I guess it would be interesting to find out how much field position is worth a human life 😂
