[QUOTE="SINROSSCO, post: 1091790, member: 18686"] It sounds like you prefer how it's played today. I honestly don't like how it's played today because we rely too much on technology. As long as there is the human factor in the game i.e. the refs, and players I prefer it that may. As I said though, back in the day the human factor was there between both players and ref's. That human factor is being taken away by technology. If tech is to be used, then as I said it should be between the officials on the field not NY. I saw a piece not too long ago as well, in reference to thrown games and that sort of thing. I think with any change there is always that chance of corruption and in particular with the tech. How does betting play in all of it? How far do some of these betting sites go as far as placing a bet? Could they be changed while a decision is coming out of NY? Some of them have been gone or minutes then we would expect. Just saying. I would just add, I am a big Nascar fan and play the fantasy games. I grew up next to a race track. Back in the day they ran heat races to advance to a semi and final race. I have always followed NASCAR but as time has gone on, I found that 500 and 600 lap races as boring. So, I wrote a letter to NASCAR asking that they consider how races were done back then. Well, surprise. They did change the format and have broken up the races now into segments. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but it did put a different twist to the race. Racing too, just like football, to technical. To think one can win a race by change in tire pressure.
