    I'm very intrigued with things on the field now being "illegal".

    NFL owners are also expected to approve the proposal that was previously tabled to reduce regular season OT from 15 to 10 minutes.

    At league meeting next week, NFL owners will vote on proposal to allow a second player to come off IR in season. Likely to be approved.

    Say goodbye to overtime in the regular season. Reducing it from 15 minutes to 10 is just a step. It will be gone soon. Once you've made the case that it's in the interests of player safety to reduce from 15 to 10, you've already opened the door too wide to be shut. If 15 minutes of OT is unsafe, then so is 10.

    Goodbye OT, welcome to the era of ties, and more convoluted playoff scenarios at the end of the season.

    Yeah, I hate this, and I'm sorry that they're going this way. There's really no reason to shorten OT. They use player safety as a catch all - that's why touchbacks come to the 25 now.

    I do like the second player returning from IR though. Gives more flexibility and every team deals with injuries. I don't see a downside there.

    This is shitty policy by the league.

    Absolutely. The IR thing is good.

    I would be fine with overtime being eliminated. It would actually make the end of regulation more exciting. Probably see teams go for 2 to win or try to score touchdowns instead of tying field goals. And if more ties happen, so be it. Nothing wrong with a tie.

    Ties aren't fun, and OT is super exciting.

    Man, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get away with tongue in cheek comments around here.

    I still think the concept of saying anything on the football field is illegal is silly, conceptually speaking

    Roger Goodell is expected to tell NFL owners group celebrations, using ball as prop after TDs, going to ground, snow angels are now allowed.

    Replying to @TomPelissero

    Prolonged acts, miming weapons, offensive gestures, sexually suggestive stuff still expected to be banned. That includes twerking. Sorry, AB

    Goodell has been meeting with players for months on this. Emphasis on spontaneous exuberance. Result should be more fun, fewer flags.
