For the next few weeks, yes (at least in the states that have not ruled it illegal), but next year I predict it will be forgotten.

And what PROOF do you have on this statement. Sounds like another sales pitch to me. In my opinion, it increases the chance of injury due to the spread formation and the possibilities of "crackback" blocks. Horrific pile-ups?? That really sounds more like a salesman than a football coach.

If you have testomonies from 10 officials out of the 50,000 (i'm guessing here) nationwide, that's .02%. That's bordering on Bush's approval rating, and far from the majority.

Again, it has proven nothing and won't be around long enough to ever prove anything. The numbering exception was written for a reason, and this ain't it.
