Notice how the team with one of the best kickers in the NFL came up with this poo...

 

lol exactly! If Adam Vinatieri wasn't their FG kicker, I don't think they'd propose this. Isray seems pretty sane to me.

Jim Irsay must be on crack or something.

Not far off....

"When Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay emerges from rehab, he will face questions from an NFL commissioner known for his hard line on the behavior of players off the field.

But will Roger Goodell apply those same standards to an NFL owner — essentially one of his bosses?

Some players are closely watching to see whether that's the case. So, too, are sports law and ethics experts who say language in the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy could open Irsay up to scrutiny that goes beyond his March 16 arrest in Carmel on preliminary charges of impaired driving and possession of controlled substances.

The league's policy, which explicitly states that the rules apply to owners, says employees should be held to a "higher standard" than merely avoiding criminal conviction.

A sports law and ethics expert, as well as a source familiar with NFL operations, told The Indianapolis Star that the policy could lead Goodell to also ask about Irsay's relationship and associations outside of the Colts, including with an Indianapolis woman with a drug history of her own — a woman who died of a suspected drug overdose two weeks before Irsay's arrest. Her body was found in a $139,500 townhouse Irsay gave her last August.

"The NFL is often criticized for protecting the 'shield,' and it does," said Mike Gilleran, executive director of the Santa Clara University Institute of Sports Law and Ethics. "How does the league look if it ignores that? It can't, in my view."

The source familiar with NFL operations told The Star the league likely would want to look at anything that could shed further light on Irsay's drug use and associations: How long has he been abusing prescription drugs? Is he using other illegal drugs? Who was he getting the drugs from? Who was he using them with?

Like Irsay, Kimberly Wundrum, 42, had a history of drug problems before she died March 1."

luck is going to replace tom brady as the NFL's golden boy so this rule is pretty much going to happen.

[Chaos]

Make a 100 yard field goal and the opponent has to set themselves on fire. Televised.

[clark kent]

Maybe there still mad they suck

[Hawk]

how about the field goal attempt has to hit the upright and you get an extra point if the kicker correctly calls which one he's going to hit!!!!

 

split the uprights and you get fined $50,000

[cardiackat88.]

Het guys here's a totally original idea NOT stolen from the XFL!!!

Let's make them fight for the kickoff toss by racing to a ball and fighting for it!!!

[TheNewStandard]

This rule request resembles a mulligan...
