"This is pure idiocy possibly altering the outcome of the game of the season because of such an insignificant and trivial reason."
Agree completely. I hate everything that increases the role of luck and cancels out the role of ability.

Thank you for saying that and feeling that way. You are a REAL sport.
The less luck the better. May the better team win. This is going to be something to watch on handoffs, pass receptions and on catching punts especially.
When talking about a "game", isn't everything "insignificant and trivial".
I think your concerns probably focus more on the finances that surround the game, both legal and illegal. When talking about money, things suddenly become very important.
