@JustinScaife @Alex_Kozora That makes a little more sense. But every NFL kicker can easily reach the end zone from the 50. So there still won’t be any returns on kickoffs from the 50, it’s just a loss of five extra yards for the returning team than if it was kicked out of bounds.

@Alex_Kozora If you are kicking off from midfield: Rule last year: Touchback comes to 35 OOB comes to 25 So you want to kick out of bounds New rule: Touchback comes to 20 OOB comes to 25 So now you want a touchback

Someone must need to explain this to me like I'm 5, because I don't see how this addresses the loophole. Which is kicking the ball out of bounds (in front of the goal line). This only references OOB *behind* the goal line.

Nick Korte@nickkorte

2026 Playing Rule Proposal #2 is obvious to implement. Multiple head coaches were exploiting this loophole last season.

@Alex_Kozora I’m pretty lost too. I think it’s saying that they now can just kick the ball out of the end zone and have the other team get it at the 20. Which shouldn’t be hard to do from the 50, but it still seems harder than kicking it out of bounds.

There are 68 freaking teams in this tournament, and there’s actual debate over whether or not a team that went 31-0 in the regular season should be one of the 68? What are we doing?

@corryjoel Would teams in high-income tax states ever counter that by referencing lower property/sales tax rates?

I was one of John Randle's agents when he was a transition player. It was a consideration. The difference in net wages between playing in FL & MN was a piece of data used to leverage a Dolphins impending offer sheet into a better deal to remain with the Vikings.

@Alex_Kozora A position that has lacked stability for years after Shazier. Is he overpaid? Probably. But you know what he gives you, and he’s been durable. I wouldn’t extend him, but I think it’s absolutely worth letting him play out his contract.

I'm mixed on what team should do with Queen, but have always leaned to keeping him. Not worth trying to find another ILB option in a weaker market to deal Queen for a later Day 3 pick. Think you can still draft and have succession plan for '27. Good class.

@LukeSampe It’s like, do people never stay up later than normal watching a game or a TV show? And they still function the next day. I’m very regimented, but am completely unbothered by one lost hour.

I get the daylight saving time shift is a 50/50 issue and that’s valid - but can we stop with the over the top health impacts? It’s an hour. How do these people travel to the next time zone over. The health impacts of traveling to Europe must be devastating.

OK, Mike, explain how collective bargaining in college sports will work. We’re all ears.

ProFootballTalk@ProFootballTalk

President Trump plans to sign an executive order to "save college sports" from a phony crisis that could easily be solved by embracing collective bargaining. But the universities simply don't want the players to have that kind of power. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

All it needs to do is ban immediate eligibility for undergraduate transfers.

Dan Wetzel@DanWetzel

President Trump from the College Sports roundtable: “so we’re going to do an executive order … whether it stands up in court, I can’t tell you that. But you’re not going to get it through the Senate and you’re not going to get it through the House.” Details of the executive order will be determined.

Disagree. If true NIL opportunities had started like 40 years ago, we’d still be where we are today.

Lawrence Jones III@LawrenceBJones3

We reached this point because college athletes were being exploited, and the courts finally intervened. It’s a wild west scenario because when these people held the power, they abused it.

@ESPNRittenberg Ideally, the regular-season champ should just have to win one home game to get the bid. Bracket the rest of the teams however you want to determine their opponent, but this way you most likely get your best team in the tournament while still having a televised championship game.

Adam Rittenberg@ESPNRittenberg·6 Mar

Likely unpopular March opinion: I increasingly dislike conference tournaments for 1-bid leagues. Especially those that don't include massive advantages for the regular-season champ.

Every NFL Draft season, it never ceases to amaze me how many NFL media members, so-called "scouts" and fans don't watch big time college football. I get not knowing small school prospects but just now discovering All-Americans from Ohio State and Notre Dame? Mind-boggling.

Any small conference bracket that makes its regular-season champion win more than two conference tournament games is silly. They really should just have to win one game, preferably at home.

Don’t be ridiculous. The bagels were perfectly legal. It was the cream cheese.

This is wild. We've gone from a world in which giving bagels to a recruit might lead to NCAA infractions to States changing their tax code to entice a Quarterback to sign there.
