A proposal to put radio receivers in the offensive players' helmets to offset crowd noise has been floating around for years in the NFL, rejected each time.
But thanks to NFL Ayatolla Roger Goodell, Commissioner of Morals and Good Behavior, it's back!
According to CBS analyst Charlie Casserly today on Inside the NFL, the proposal is on the agenda for NFL discussion this week.
And this time, it may just happen.
That's cuz Goodell has been itching for this change since his first day on the job; he brought it up in his very first news conference after succeeding Paul Tagliabue.
“That’s what our game is about: our athletes and coaches playing at the highest possible level and being able to execute their game plans. To some extent right now, I think we are hindering that a little bit, because they come into an opposing stadium and they are not able to put the full offense in, they are not able to run plays in, they are not able to change the plays at the line of scrimmage.”Um... no shit. That's the whole point, isn't it? Fans pay ridiculous amounts of money to see the game in person for that very reason.
It's called home field advantage.
And as for fixing the problem, I believe the teams already have. Ever heard of the silent count, Roger? Have one of your sycophants explain it to you.
Commissioner, instead of micromanaging the NFL into irrelevance, try silencing yourself.
Now that would be good for the game.
