I did see that game. Complete puckerage was occurring on my part until he got up. I think it was just that electronic ad bar covered in the chain link, couldn’t tell how close he was. It definitely wasn’t a hustle error, some sort of perception mistake. I mean wasn’t he looking right at it? It’s lucky that big melon of his didn’t destroy it in a shower of electrical sparks.
Yes, the NFL needs some sort of thing to allow for the Drysdale effect, or Gibson. Would make it a lot more watchable, at least for me. The warnings given in MLB now do really put the kibosh on pitching inside. A shame, but pitching is becoming dominant now again, a combo of good and plentiful relief pitching and better PED testing maybe.

Right on about the dominant pitching.
My grandson StL fan and I had told him early last year that the year of the starting pitcher will be gone before long, the teams will get someone to go 3 strong innings (much like a junk pitcher in HS - get through the lineup and we will take it from there) then end up with a string of 4-6 hard throwers, get a couple innings out of them every other day or so....
Will cut back on salaries for awhile.
Actually the Nationals were close to that last year, Storen 7th, Clippard 8th and Soriano 9th(UGH)..(thought that was a bad move ALSO think Lombo leaving bad)...
Then St Louis had a bunch of young Turks with strong arms, good K-BB ratio and speed.
