NFL claims technology can't spot the ball

The NFL has heard the criticism of its no-tech approach to determining whether the football made it to the line to gain.

So we can put a man on the moon, build all kinds of technology, but we can't locate a ball

Hmmm....

Bullcrap. The Premier League and soccer and determine if a ball crosses the goal line within millimeters.

What the NFL is trying to say is that they don't want to pay the expense of having this technology.

The difference is that in soccer the league only has to implement the technology on the two goal lines, whereas the NFL would have to do it on any area of the field. I don't know anything about the technology, but this could be the obstacle.

True, but we now have 16k TVs and cameras. You might need to install 30-50 cameras in the stadiums. They could install the technology if they wanted to, again at a price. Also, it isn't like we have a promotion/relegation system where the technology would need to be installed in different stadiums each year.

That's only one technology. They could add a second or a 3rd RFID chip as technology as well.

The NFL has been quietly testing technology for years now. YEARS! There's no excuse to not implement it by now. The good thing is that this is causing enough of a stir that something might actually get done.

Now that the Rams have said they will look to trade Cooper Kupp, here is the cost: If Kupp is traded, his new team would inherit his $20 million salary in 2025 ($7.5M roster bonus + $12.5M base) and $19.85M in 2026—unless his contract is renegotiated.

NFL will play a regular season game in Melbourne, Australia in 2026 in what will be the first game of a multi-year commitment to play there. The Rams are expected to play in the first game in Australia.

Okay, this is beyond absurd. Obviously it has to be before a bye week, but it also needs to be AFTER a bye week. This is just not doable for hard-core NFL play.

Super Bowl 2025: NFL players union boss draws a line in the sand — 'No one wants to play an 18th game'

Roger Goodell has spent the week in New Orleans shaping the season expansion narrative, but it's still up to him and the team owners to convince the players to agree, which won't be easy.

Yup. The NFL managed to put four teams on a cycle of early week games at the end of the season to see if and how this could work.

Deion Sanders: I couldn't coach pro ball

After word that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke to Deion Sanders early in the team's coaching search, Sanders said that it was intriguing to hear from Jones but that he loves being the coach at the University of Colorado.

This will ruin whole seasons for a team, mark my words.

They are making the Rams be that team.

They are making it a Week 1 game. So the teams will be able to get out there early and have time to adjust.

However, having just recently traveled to Sydney a few months ago, I can attest that the flight back home really sucked. Took about 2-3 days to get back to somewhat normal. Definitely a disadvantage for the teams forced to travel halfway around the world.
