Another rule change to try to lift up the fallen. Neither rule is good.
Refs are adding rules so they can make a bigger contribution in the outcome of tight games. If a game's not settled on the field of play... THAT'S BAD FOOTBALL
I immediately thought of the home court technical foul in college basketball when I read that. Puts the dagger in momentum or the nails in the coffin of a comeback.
Why don't we just realistically enforce the rules we have already, like offensive pass interference ?
