OT - Skip Bayless: Let's get rid of field goals in the NFL
Filed under:
Skip's at it again. In his most recent column, he calls for the removal of field goals from football.
Field goal kicking is wildly exciting for all the wrong reasons. We regularly interrupt games to go for a ride on the equivalent of Disney's stomach-in-throat Tower of Terror. The scariest words for any fan are "wide right" or "wide left." Or, in the case of Buffalo Bills fans, "Scott Norwood."
This is why I have long proposed a change that will never, ever happen because it makes too much sense. Give place-kicking the boot.
That's right, eliminate it. Force supremely talented offensive players to keep doing what they do best: Make first downs. Fourth-and-5 at the opponent's 25? You have to GO FOR IT. And you keep going for it until you score six points or you're stopped. If you score a touchdown, you always go for the far more exciting two-point conversion.
I personally hate the idea. I think field goals are a great part of the game, and to remove them would be to remove a traditional part of the game we all love. But, I'm curious to hear what everyone's reaction it to this.

The good kind of Skip Bayless article. Oh how I wish there was a real way to get him off the air, but in the meantime I'll take these types of articles highlighting his uselessness.
Enjoy on your Sunday mornings...
