00:00This is a week in which the NFL's competition committee gets together and, you know, kind of thinks on things.
00:05One of the big things is the possibility of having more of officiating go from the centralized place in New
00:11York,
00:12where they can maybe have some of those flags thrown from the command center there,
00:17which I find to be interesting, and I wonder if that might be leading to some level of a referee
00:21strike of sorts.
00:23I hadn't thought of that.
00:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, when is their CBA up?
00:26Because I wonder how much that has to do with this.
00:28But the UFL jumped them and, like, we got some rules that we would like to change,
00:32and so that got us thinking, what are the rules that you'd like to implement?
00:35You seem to really like the UFL rules that they're throwing up.
00:38Outside of the – one of the rules they're going to have, it's done, by the way,
00:43is any field goal more than 60 yards is going to be four points.
00:46I don't like that one simply because I think you tend to settle for field goals a lot easier,
00:51especially in this town.
00:53They love them some field goals as we –
00:55You think the gamblers are just going to start kicking a whole bunch of 60-yarders?
00:57But some of the other ones, I like the one foot inbounds for a catch.
01:02Bring the college rule?
01:03Yes, because, I mean, it's more offense.
01:05It keeps the ball moving.
01:07Obviously, this has been a very – this was a very defense-oriented year.
01:11You were like, and we can't abide by that too long.
01:13We can't have that.
01:14We can't help the defense too much.
01:15I get it, but, you know, whatever.
01:18Red zone penalties, half the distance to the goal.
01:20I like that.
01:22You know, no punting inside the opponent's 50-yard line,
01:25which I think a lot of people are going to be doing that anyway
01:28and to just make it, you know, make the decision for them kind of thing.
01:32And the overtime, at first I didn't like it, but then I was like,
01:36yeah, we got to get this thing done.
01:37Three alternating attempts from the five-yard line for each team.
01:41We're just going college rules?
01:42Why not?
01:43It's safer.
01:44And they're always about safety and stuff like that.
01:46But it did get me thinking about –
01:48I mean, you know me.
01:48I'm all about overtime and regulation.
01:50Let's get this game over with.
01:51That's what overtime is for.
01:52Get it over with.
01:53Overtime is for finding a winner as opposed to, like, continuing the game.
01:56You'll get it over with that.
01:58Yeah, you will.
01:58Exactly.
01:59It's kind of like the three-on-three in hockey, which we saw during the Olympics.
02:02You know, let's make it exciting and quick.
02:05All right, so the question of the day is,
02:07what are some out-there rules like these that should be implemented in life?
02:11Already –
02:12We're going to move past the one –
02:13I don't like the one-foot inbounds rule at the professional level.
02:16Now, UFL is a place where, if I'm going to use baseball parlance,
02:20they feel like Quad A.
02:22Like, this is also a weird place where they're in between, like,
02:26the level of college football and, obviously, NFL football.
02:29And it's one of the reasons why I don't like some of these rule changes.
02:31I do like some, right, that you can be a little bit of a testing round.
02:35I think that UFL is best suited by trying to set themselves a little bit of a niche
02:40of we're helping players get to the NFL.
02:43And I think the more changes that they make,
02:47the more that you pull yourself away from the gameplay,
02:49especially one like the one-foot inbounds rule.
02:52But they're also selling a product.
02:53They are, and that is a fair point, right?
02:54You want to make yourself viable unto yourself as opposed to, like,
02:57pledging fealty to the NFL.
02:59Right.
02:59And keep in mind, the NFL kickoff rule started out in the XFL.
03:03It did.
03:04It did.
03:04So that's one of the –
03:05All right, so real-life out-there rules that should be implemented.
03:09And the one that is – we're still getting videos from Sean Pendergast,
03:13which God bless your soul.
03:14God bless your soul.
03:15He's got two bedrooms with 17 pillows combined on those.
03:21I want to wind is no more – it should be a rule – no more than three pillows
03:25on any made bed.
03:27I think we should push that for two couples.
03:30Include two couples.
03:31Single, married.
03:32Like you and your wife, it's only three pillows.
03:34I think we should push that to four because some people like using two pillows to sleep.
03:38That's what I was saying.
03:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:40Okay.
03:40Because I think I got four.
03:41Okay.
03:42Me and my wife got two each.
03:43He's got nine on one bed, including the decorative pillows.
03:46That brother's sleeping on heaven, pretty much.
03:49No, the thing is, the thing I hate about the decorative pillows is you toss them all aside
03:53when you go to bed.
03:54Also, who are these people that you expect to just be like, hey, welcome to our home.
03:57I'm running to the bedroom.
03:59Yeah.
03:59How does this look?
04:00Is it nice?
04:01Another one for me – actually, I got two, and then I'll toss it to you guys.
04:04But the penalty – and I'm serious on this because it would stop overnight.
04:10It would stop overnight.
04:11The penalty for driving under 70 miles an hour on the far left lane of an expressway,
04:18freeway, should be one night in jail if you get caught.
04:22Nothing infuriates me or some bozo driving 60 miles an hour on a five-lane freeway on the
04:27left lane.
04:28That one should be one night in jail if they get you.
04:30And then the other one, this is a pet peeve of mine because, you know, they're just doing
04:35their job, but it irritates me.
04:37Waiters and waitresses have to be honest about what's good and what's not good on the menu.
04:43Like, you ask them –
04:45I'm like, you're not being fair here.
04:47What's good?
04:48And they'll go, oh, they'll kind of compliment every plate.
04:51Yeah.
04:53To me, I like that they do that because that kind of shows it's a red flag.
04:57If a waiter is like, oh, yeah, I like everything.
05:00Yeah, I hate that.
05:01I'm like, all right.
05:02Yeah, just hit me with the truth.
05:03But some people be like, nah, don't get the mac and cheese.
05:07It ain't that good to me.
05:09Try this.
05:10John, I feel like you're making your issue their problem here because I think what it
05:15should be is it's incumbent upon us to ask the right questions.
05:18But just be honest.
05:19You know what?
05:20The mac and cheese is not that good.
05:21They at work, my boy.
05:24What happens if they say that and their manager's over their shoulder and now it's a problem?
05:27I would go with the mashed potatoes.
05:30I would do that.
05:31How would you feel if the waiter said, I can't lie to you, I never tried anything here?
05:36I'd feel better.
05:38Also, that feels like cold.
05:39That feels like, hey, man, this is what I got.
05:41I don't eat here.
05:42I've been through that a couple times where you're just like, yeah, I never tried that.
05:46I went through like three different entrees.
05:48I never tried that.
05:49I'm like, all right.
05:50The question that I do try to ask is what's your favorite thing on the menu?
05:53Because I feel like you're getting to the heart of what you were looking for while also, you know, not
06:00putting them in a bad place here to talk bad about their work.
06:03I don't know.
06:04Sometimes when I hear them say that, I'm thinking they're just trying to push a particular thing.
06:09They've got a lot of fillets and not as many, you know, whatever ribeyes that they need to push on
06:14you.
06:15It's a possibility.
06:16It's a possibility.
06:17From the 409, stupid lawsuits like the Buffalo Wild Wings one needs to pass a review panel of normal people
06:22before going to court.
06:24I mean, which one is it?
06:25So you're going to put it into court before it goes into court?
06:27Oh, you guys missed it this week.
06:28Yeah.
06:29I forgot.
06:29You guys have not been in.
06:30Buffalo Wild Wings was sued by a gentleman back in 2023.
06:35It finally reached a federal judge who ruled that Buffalo Wild Wings and anywhere else can indeed call their boneless
06:43wings boneless wings as opposed to chicken poppers or chicken chunks or whatever, sauce nuggets or whatever.
06:48They said that there's a reasonable expectation that people have when you say boneless wings.
06:53They know what they're getting.
06:54They wasted a lot of money on that.
06:55I thought I appreciate the principle of the matter.
06:58Call a thing what it is and do not call a thing what it is not.
07:01I appreciate the lawsuit, and I think that our legal system failed in this moment.
07:05So what are y'all's out there rules that should be implemented?
07:10Yeah, so I'm kind of with Sean Pendergast a little bit about the standing up on the plane as soon
07:14as it lands and not just standing up because I understand people want to stretch and all that stuff.
07:19But standing up, grabbing your carry-on and trying to walk down the aisle, I don't think they should be
07:26considered terrorists or anything, but you should make them get off last.
07:30They should be the very last person to get off the plane if they do that, and I think you
07:35should line them up in the back if that happens.
07:37Line them up?
07:38I like that.
07:38Yeah, no, that should happen.
07:41Another one is driving.
07:43You kind of made me think of this, Lopez.
07:45Driving, you know how you stop somewhere, and there's somebody trying to get out of a plaza or something like
07:49that.
07:49Yeah, yeah.
07:50You should have one person max.
07:52Oh, yeah, you got a zipper.
07:53You got a zipper.
07:53Yes, yes.
07:54No, sometimes people be letting the whole crew out.
07:57I'm like, yo.
07:59Like, nah, you should have one person max let out, and then you could go.
08:02I call them nice holes.
08:05Oh, okay.
08:06They're nice holes.
08:07Yeah, ruining the traffic of what we're doing here.
08:09Yeah, and then I got one last one.
08:11So I'm sure Reggie kind of go through this with getting a haircut and hair done.
08:17Some people be strict on their time.
08:20Like, if you're 10 minutes late, that's $20 extra.
08:23If you're 15 minutes late, I'm canceling and block you.
08:28Cool.
08:28I'm cool with that.
08:29If you're late, it should be a free haircut.
08:32Yes.
08:33It should be a free haircut.
08:34It works both ways, buddy.
08:35Yeah, because those same people that be doing that, they be late.
08:39Yeah.
08:39They be late.
08:40So I'm like, I got things to do, too.
08:42Yeah, I went through that so many times where I ended up late somewhere because that person coming in 20
08:47minutes late.
08:47That's a great one.
08:49Yeah, nah, it should be a free haircut.
08:50I'm with you on all of that.
08:52I don't know.
08:52I'm just stuck on the catch, the two-foot catch.
08:55Somebody on the text line said that they've said for years that NFL and college needs to be on the
08:59same page.
09:00It doesn't matter which, whether it's one foot in or two feet in.
09:02I kind of like the distinction for the reason of there's more talent at the NFL level, so expecting them
09:08to do more is a fair thing that happens.
09:10But I kind of appreciate having it at the college level.
09:12I like the two-feet catch, though, man, because you see some amazing catches.
09:17Because there's times where you be like, oh, he didn't get that second foot down.
09:20You're like, wow, he got that second, that toe, those two toes down.
09:24Well, you'll still have toe taps.
09:25It'll just be one foot.
09:26Yeah, because I feel like it's not as fun.
09:29I feel like it haven't been a lot of situations where it was like, oh, that one toe.
09:34He didn't get it.
09:35And that's the game.
09:36I think you had this Isaiah Likely situation.
09:39Yeah.
09:39But outside of that, man, I felt like that wasn't a cause of a lot of games.
09:45You're in the loop here on Sports Radio 610.
09:47Keep sending those in.
09:47It seems like there's some real airing of grievances that are happening on the text line, the base power text
09:53line, 713-572-416.
09:55You're in the loop here on Sports Radio 610.
