I don't know why it's called a safety.
And I don't know why in football they have safeties playing on defense and call it a safety when you get two points.
Do any of you know why it's called a safety?
Do we have the origins of why it is that they named it a safety?
Because I don't actually know the answer to his question.
And as happens very often with Football America, it leaves me to ponder a lot of irrelevant things that I had not pondered before.
Thank you.
And thank you as well to Damoshek.
I was thinking during the game last night as I'm changing just rules all over the place because there are only this is it's it is funny to think about the fact that professional football only has most games about 10 to 11 minutes of actual action.
Most of it is just milling around, huddling.
But the action in an NFL game is about 11 minutes.
And so I'd like to just eliminate the quarterback sneak.
I'd like to have it banished from football.
I don't want it anymore in the game.
It's not an interesting play.
I want a team to have to run an actual play on fourth and short or third and short.
that has a chance of being contested is anyone with me on this just banishing the quarterback sneak if you're going to only give me 11 minutes of action i don't want any of it to be tush push i don't want any of it to be quarterback sneak so we're talking actual football we're talking the quintessential brady quarterback sneak right under center he takes it he gets a yard you want a
I want to get rid of it because if you're only going to give me 11 minutes of action, I don't want any of the action to be that.
It's too precious and it's not a real play.
It's nonsense.
