Video assistant referee, pretty much what the NBA has had for years but only for a very limited number of things (goals, penalties, red cards and a referee mistaking a playe r for another in the case of a send off).

plus, no secret – eyes are continually switching to non traditional media outlets…you tube and twitch are no joke…

This. NFL viewership last year dropped less than overall TV viewership. Folks be cuttin’ the cord, that was the biggest cause of the decline.

Does anyone else find it at least somewhat amusing or ironic that pre-legalization DraftKings and its ilk were arguing “we are not gambling” and now their radio ads all contain a “if you have a gambling problem” not to mention use the word “bet.”

how in the world fantasy sports (GAMBLING) got legalized before weed is crazy…

They did do VAR for the WC. That worked really well in my book.

I think the game would be perfectly fine without them, but soccer is MUCH worse in terms of being averse to rule changes. It would have to be incredibly damning evidence that is 100% undeniable for fifa to even consider something like that. It would certainly change the game a bit but I think it would be for the best.

That said, I do kind of agree that Dolan is not actually that horrible as an owner at this moment in time. He still seems like an ass based on his past idiocies, but to his (dubious) credit the man has stayed away from micro-managing the Knicks.

Yesterday I compared the Bargnani and Curry trades to the Mantle v DiMaggio debate and somehow it became a referendum on political correctness.

Today someone compared the tight whistles of the NBA to the no contact rules of the NFL, and here we are again.

I even said James Dolan might be a good owner now and everyone was too busy googling the impact of 12 year old girls heading a soccer ball to call me a fool. I don’t ever want to say James Dolan is a good owner on a knicks blog without being called a fool!!

(Although, I do think he’s getting better.)
