"Hopefully whatever question two is doesn't cause quite as much controversy."
Don't bet on it! :-)
Don
You can pencil me in for the less controversy the better. But maybe Don, with all due respect, maybe consider there is a thumb pointing back at you? Which may be a root for the controversy. For one thing, maybe the Ill 18 needs to be revisited and expanded. The splitting of 10 vs 5,6 would fall into an alternate category as it over inflates SCORE and carrries a high risk of being 86ed in some parts of the US. It's been 30 years since you established the Ill 18. Even pro sports have expanded and changed considerably to new rules and teams to make the game better during that timespan. Maybe Felt and an Ill 30 or 40 closes the gap between a play all and know all system. You are the Messiah with the gonads to see and prove it.Originally Posted by DSchles
There is maybe 5 of the 28 systems listed worthy of mention. Some are duplicated, several are outdated considering SCORE is paramount and BC/PE rendered as virtually useless. Perhaps Felt or REKO should be conidered the entry level system to learn. Sure there is a huge leap from single deck to 8 deck just like there is going from Hi LO to Tarzan. Perhaps the huge leap isn't necessary with some common sense, simple logic and viable small steps along the way. Instead of 535 maybe 200 pages of what todays player really needs to know.

LOL moses, I can visualize Don grabbing hands full of hair and yanking it out right now.

Certainly Plan B free agency lead to a balance of the league. Peyton brought a new look with the no huddle offense. 2 teams were added. One of which is in the Super Bowl. Watching the games in the 70s and 80s was relating to great football players. Today they look like gladiators. But I think instant replay and too many commercials have slowed the game to a crawl.
I think that the attempt to make football into a big scoring game to attract new viewers has only made long time football lovers that would watch any game that was on find something else to do as often as not. And I think the rules the changed to protect certain areas of the players bodies that went hand in hand with the plan to make football a big scoring game have caused more frequent and more severe injuries to other parts of players bodies. Watching almost every team be devastated by injuries this year screams the point. Injuries used to be far less frequent. More teams waters down the talent pool. More injuries waters down the talent on the field. Most longtime fans don't like it. Many aren't even watching anymore.
