    shouldn't slow it down. most are pretty clear cut. your team might see one of these replays every three or four weeks. and they still might get it wrong. hello Calvin Johnson

    if anything needs to be right, it's definitely scoring plays. nfl loves having each game fit into a nice 3 hour window for tv anyway. i don't see this prolonging games much...if they use it the right way.

    I think it's just an opportunity/excuse for them to cram more ads down our throats. they don't have enough commercials during NFL games :roll:

    they should get rid of replay. they still get half the calls wrong and it makes games 4 hours anymore. missed calls are part of sports IMO

    i like the current reply rule. two challenges. i do think that even if you get one right, you get a third. get that one right, get a fourth, etc.

    you fellas should invest in the redzone. if you have that, you won't have to deal with a single commercial on sunday afternoon's. :mrgreen:

    night games are a different story. but redzone is a phenomenal channel.

    This is the best channel ever. I hope I'm wrong in thinking it's just a matter of time before they start showing commercials there too. They will give us just enough to get us hooked (which I already am)...then bang, death by commercials.

    just remember who's in charge

    it's ridiculous you can only challenge certain types of plays (preposterous that you can't challenge a fumble if it's not ruled a fumble on the field. WTF is that??????).

    I think the NFL needs to seriously review it's rulebook. The product keeps getting worse

    Hopefully this lockout stuff ends this week. Gambling season is right around the corner boys :wave:

    I also hope the lockout ends this weekend. Fall won't be the same without me getting pissed off at the Giants.

    i think it's fine. no need to add any. there's a little bit of strategy involved in making sure you make the right decision. i think if you keep adding ones for being right, that would slow the game down too much

    if they don't go nuts with this new rule, it will be fine. it's a good idea...

    no need to fret:

    Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com broke it down beautifully on Twitter:

    “This is the deal: vote on CBA–no. Vote to settle lawsuit–sorta yes. CBA by end of week–hell yes. So calm your asses down, people.”

    ripping the guy who gave you what you describe as "the best channel ever" for thinking he might add commercials at some point? :lol: oh, fixer.

    they won't have commercials. they make money on the subscriber fee. it's like 3 bucks a month or something i believe. it's cable's answer to direct tv's sunday ticket. they won't up commercials on there. won't make sense.

    :lol: Also the Cowboys. But as a Giants fan, you get used to them pissing you off with the stupid stuff they do and somehow find ways to lose.

    these players are idiots.

    according to everything i've seen, it's a fair deal for both sides.

    suck it up, reformulate your union, and sign the fucking thing already. :x

    I agree, And I'm not sure how the owners had a rough copy of the deal, but the players did not.

    That cop needs to tell his players to suck it up and agree with it.
