Larry David's Proposal to Eliminate Field Goals
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).

Perhaps we should eliminate touchdowns too and just give each team a participation trophy afterwards.
