Hush. Pretty sure Goodell was already thinking of that

The extra point may be close to automatic but it's nerve wracking automatic. I have to close my eyes sometimes while dreading a miss. You can feel the tension in the stands.
Field goals are extreme high percentage only because the hash marks were tightened and then the kickers improved. If the NFL used the college hash marks, field goal percentage would suffer.
Emperor is correct, it's all about length of the game. Goodell has to pretend otherwise.
Extra points are hardly automatic at lower levels. Goodell never thinks about impacting the game elsewhere. The NFL changes are often transferred to college and lower. I go to many high school games per year. Sometimes you'll see a kid who otherwise doesn't get a chance to play sent out in a lopsided game to attempt an extra point. He's thrilled when he makes it and the team and rooting section go nuts.
Just don't center the ball. Spot it like you would on a down-by-contact. If someone scores on the edge, put the ball on the hashmark, etc.

C'mon man. Out of everyone I would have thought Mr. LV would have this one lapped up. How many extra points are reviewed? I'd dare to say, none to one percent. That's purely a guesstimate.
If they want to move the attempt back , fine with me. Narrow the posts, fine also. But what I REALLY want them to get rid of is the pass interference BS. They should make it a 15 yarder, and if it's in the end zone only half the distance to the goal.!
Why would lower levels have to change? The PGA tour makes special designations all the time to "lengthen" the course that lesser tournaments don't follow.
He's talking about reviews in general and it sounds like they want to add more stuff to review, like hits on defenseless receivers. This review system shouldn't take nearly as long as it does anyway, I mean, we usually know if its going to be overturned or not before they even go to commercial.
Agree. Get rid of holding and PI and meld them into one 10 yard penalty that covers all fowls on receivers.
