NFL approves 7 rule changes

[gmf1369]

The seven rule changes adopted on Tuesday include:

• A ban on chop blocks
• An extension of the types of tackles banned under the horse-collar rule
• The permanent change of extra point kicks that the NFL put in place in 2015 on a one-year basis
• Offensive and defensive play callers on the coaching staffs can use the coach-to-player communication system regardless of whether they are on the field or in the coaches' booth
• It is now a delay of game penalty when a team attempts to call a timeout when it is not permitted to do so
• A ban of the five-yard penalty for an eligible receiver illegally touching a forward pass after being out of bounds. Teams will now lose a down if this occurs
• The elimination of multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of possession

* What happened to the shock collars on the Refs with the fans having a remote control. If 80% of the crowd thinks the Ref F____ up the Ref get zapped.

I guess the commissioner never got my letter.
