Quote from: Tecno on Today at 06:58:25 AMPut me down in the "pigs must be flying" camp, too. This is insane. The only thing I can think of is he was kind of ousted by the owners. Maybe they got tired of losing and empty stands?
Or maybe the idea was he'd retire (he's getting quite old and haggard) and the old codger is doing the "I'm not dead yet!" routine.
My only question is: where are teams getting all the coaches cap space to hire all of these "advisors"? Same question to WFC with Hall/Jarius. I smell funny business. Huff goes from massive pay day head honcho in CGY to be lowly "advisor" in TOR at $100k (or whatever)? Explain how that makes sense.
Maybe "advisors" are outside the cap? That would make a lot of sense...
Quote from: bomber beetle on Today at 03:25:19 PMFinally, in 1974, the league pushed the goal posts back to the end line. The change was made mostly to encourage offenses to score touchdowns rather than field goals. The three-pointer had become an increasingly common occurrence by 1973. The move achieved the league's desired effect, field goals dropped from a total of 543 successful conversions off 861 attempts in 1973 to 335 field goals made on 553 attempts the following year.

TD's going up many years later isn't related to moving the goal posts, it's got to be related to something else.
