After further review, Peterson of the Vikings is guilty of violating the head first rule. His run of 75 yards is therefore called back. As the millions in the stadium throw bottles at the ref.

Being as that's the only way we gain yardage, I think finding something else to do on Sunday afternoons is looking better and better all the time.

Video review now will be allowed on plays when a coach challenges even though he is not allowed to. But the coach will be penalized or lose a timeout, depending on when he threw the challenge flag. HUH???????????..........

They're changing the uniform to bras and tight little shorts too.

And prior to the NFL going under, football will be abolished at the youth/community level, then high school, then college levels.
