00:02248-539-9797
00:06the world cup the scoring is up we're trying to figure out why many people believe it has
00:11something to do with the hydration break uh that takes place i personally don't i think it's
00:17they expanded the field and you have games like 7-1 where uh you know germany beat curacao uh
00:26football forward passes in 1906 led to the greatest sport of all time basketball
00:32okay 24 second shot clock teams with the lead would literally hold the ball
00:36minutes at a time some games finished with scores in the 20s and 30s yeah well in college basketball
00:42when they put in the shot clock that took away you know north carolina was so great at the four
00:46corner and the guys like phil ford who were running it you couldn't get the ball away from it was
00:52very
00:52boring yeah the old princeton offense yeah uh removing the two-line pass in hockey yes agreed
00:59uh but the other one in hockey they changed like the nfl's introduction of the coach's challenge
01:05and instant replay in 1999 is by far the most important innovation in all of sports history
01:12i wouldn't go that far uh if you want to talk about rule changes what about when they put the
01:16three-point shot in the nba yeah or the forward pass in football yes i don't remember when they
01:22change john i'm not that old i know that's what you were hinting no no no that's not at all
01:27what
01:27it is but i'll go with it college basketball changing the shot clock to less time getting
01:33i think if i may stoney really quick there yeah i mean you know me you mentioned college basketball
01:37years perk up i think there's a sweet spot there with college basketball 45 was ridiculous look we
01:43got it to start somewhere i can't believe we played college basketball in my lifetime without a shot
01:47clock 45 was a lot 35 i was a fan of i was not a fan of going down to
01:5330 seeing it for the last 10
01:55years it's cool i would not be a proponent of shortening it any further two reasons the beauty of
02:02college basketball is that the importance of every possession if you shorten those possessions and you
02:09make more of them they become less valuable and the second thing man the change in style of each team
02:15playing at different paces yes so pronounced in college basketball let's keep that variety of
02:21style yeah um getting rid of the shift in baseball is the best rule change ever it basically made left
02:27handed hitters useless i hated it i i do like elimination of the shift but i i also put the
02:33onus on the batters yes i think people didn't like the shift because it didn't quote look like
02:39baseball uh best rule changes in hockey elimination the two-line pass rule and the fact that you can't
02:44change lines after uh and icing that's from chris in kansas city i do like that you know another
02:49hockey one that they changed years ago was at one point this is before even i started following the
02:56game if you got a two-minute penalty and they team scored a goal guy had to stay in the
03:02penalty box
03:03he didn't come out oh okay yeah uh part of the reason more attacking is happening is because of the
03:09ways to advancing group play third place finishers can advance to knockout staging goal differential
03:15most goals scored is a tiebreaker that's a very valid point these are good things you're watching
03:20a one-nothing game and if these are not tiebreakers teams are going to sit back and how boring is
03:25that
03:25right like it's more like go after it keep scoring keep attacking right yeah that's a great point all
03:31right
