The leading authority on officiating within the media gives his valued opinions.
NOTE: should any rules changes be passed during the annual meeting, feel free to add news of that in this thread.
Time to start tweeting. Rule changes coming. For once, I agree with Richard Sherman. Two personal fouls, auto ejection? Not needed.

Auto ejection is a reaction to two games in my opinion. A kick and punch are ejections the first time it happens. Fraught with problems.

It is right to eliminate all chop blocks. Dirty play and defensive lineman need protection too. Not many teams employ the technique.

Competition Committee had coaches that felt eliminating back side chops would make it hard to run the football. So? This will pass.

Not sure if any of the club proposed changes will pass. If proposed by a club it must be presented to owners even if CC doesn't support it.
