And I predict that in a season or two, you'll be wrong.

You don't need to wait a season or two. He's wrong on a regular basis.

I predict that since there hasn't been a groundswell of support to change the new rule in the years since it was implemented that the rule will stay.

The purpose of the rule was to eliminate cheap shot fouls that had to be declined in order to score. Nuff said.

But PI is not usually a cheap shot.

But nobody cares. I haven't heard one person (until you) advocate changing the existing rule.

Honestly, I have to agree with Robert for once. It seems rather silly that a foul like this would be enforced from the kickoff. Unsportsmanlike stuff, absolutely... but pass interference, or worse, lesser fouls - doesn't make sense.

But I agree that it's not likely to go away any time soon.

I agree as well. But nobody is really advocating for a change. Except Robert.

Apparently it was just changed, so I think it's in play. If it'd been in its current form for years, then I wouldn't consider it so likely to be revised again soon, but they must be looking at it.
