Why change from quarters to halves? I don't see any distinct advantage. This business about eliminating two last second shots, who cares. They play 'em and we officiate 'em. If we are going to make a change it shouldn't be just for the sake of change or a preference; it should be because it is necessary for the good of the game. This is a "grass is greener" issue. If the NF made that change we would be here next year with just as many people suggesting that we change right back to quarters. Then there are suggestions to change the time out rule to reflect the need for more teaching opportunities. Absurd. The game is good. Look at the rules and ask yourself, "what absolutely needs to be changed for the good of the game?" That is it. Otherwise, changing rules like some people change underwear seems a little tired to me.
