Larry David's Proposal to Eliminate Field Goals

Submitted by LLG on February 9th, 2024 at 9:27 AM

On the most recent Bill Simmons Postcast (link), Larry David (of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) talks sports and argues vehemently:

"I've said it before, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to say it again.  I really believe that we should get rid of goal posts in football.  No b__sh_t.  Field goals ruin the game."

"Why do we have to have it?  For what reason?,"

"He is not even a football player," and

"I think it would really, really help the game."

Personally, if I get a vote (I don't), I'd vote with Larry David (but don't feel strongly about it).  With all of that said, I feel as if I must link to Remy Hamilton's game winning field goal in 1994 over Notre Dame:

Let's start from scratch:  What is one thing you would change about football if you could?  With commercial breaks going the way they are, I'm at the point where I want the clock to keeping running for 150 minutes total (like in soccer).
