1. Roughing the Passer - Call it if they are actually roughing him. If the defender is headhunting then throw the flag. Can a RB, WR, or TE get hit below the knees and it be legal ? Can they be gang tackled without a $10,000 fine being issued later that week ? ARE THEY FRIGGIN FOOTBALL PLAYERS ????? Look I understand that people feel that we must protect the QB, yes I can see if a defender comes on his blindside and wraps his arms around his neck and slings him around before bringing him down by his facemask but this IS tackle football right ? I swore that's what I was watching. I'll tell you what, as soon as they start penalizing QB's for setting a WR up with a high pass or a pass over the middle knowing that a defender will lay them out if whether they catch it or not then I'll say keep RTP the way it is. I hate it when they talk about protecting QB's that's bullshit if I've ever heard of it. Either play another position, learn how to run, workout over the summer and get your speed up you F'n punk!

2. Pass Interference - Now I think that if the defender is grabbing the jersey, or holding a guy you should call it, especially if the ball is in the air. Besides that quit your bitching. You've got two guys fighting for position, as long as no one is using their hands to pull a guy back and it's just strength vs strength then it should be fine.

3. Celebrations - If you don't like it then keep the guy from being able to do it ! Plain and simple ! You don't like TO celebrating, keep that punk out of the endzone. I understand where football "traditionalists" will shoot me down and tell me that it's bushleague to do that. That you are putting yourself above the team, that you are embarrasing the other player, that you just want the attention on yourself.... I say go to the doctor and ask him why your testicles still haven't dropped yet. I grew up watching the Fun bunch celebration. I saw the Ickey Shuffle, I loved it. Barry Sanders never celebrated but that was just him. Keep that f'n playclock going, if the team get's a delay of game they get one. The celebrations will dwindle down if that happens but let them have fun man.

4. Overtime - Give both teams a chance with the ball. When one team doesn't score games over.
