NFL Spring Meeting

The owners all 32 NFL franchises are meeting for their Spring Meeting and discussing a few big topics. The first was reported yesterday about the 2014 Super Bowl. The other is about the overtime rule.

New York/New Jersey Super Bowl

The owners awarded the New York/New Jersey area the Super Bowl for the 2013 season. The area can definitely entertain all those visiting for the game. The rule that the city must have a mean temperature of 50 degrees was lifted for this vote but Roger Goodell says that it doesn't set a precedence for other could weather teams. Really? I believe this is the definition of precedence.

Overtime Rule

The owners voted to implement an overtime rule during the playoffs this year during the Winter Meeting earlier this year in Hawai'i. The rule will allow the team that kicks off to open overtime period to have a chance to tie or win the game if the receiving team scores on the first possession. There was speculation that the owners would vote to implement the rule during the regular season. Roger Goodell announce yesterday that they owners and competition committee members have decided to table the discussion. This topic will undoubtedly be revisited in next year's Winter Meetings.
