It is also framing matters. They're just a little misshapen, I guess. It's a design. Because when you say it's a corked bat, it suggests that they're cheating. Yeah, it feels like it. They just, what I don't understand, if we're moving over to basketball, I mean to baseball, what I don't understand is why everyone doesn't have a torpedo bat right now. Like, what are you doing?
What happened in the Commander's game was on the goal line, the Eagles were trying to do the tush push and the commanders were completely comfortable with jumping off sides in order to stop the tush push because half the distance to the goal is nothing and six points is a lot. So eventually the ref suggested that you do it again.
To answer your question, the NFL bylaws and rule book give you the right to do it? There's no way that's legal. It is legal. I've never heard of that ever in my history of life. So, I mean, I guess you have to take it out to the most extreme is if they just continue to jump off sides, the game would never end.
So the ref has to have some sort of power at that point because no time runs off the clock. The ball moves a smaller fraction of an inch every play. Like, if we're talking about ending this game and having a game, if you're in that situation, the refs have to have some sort of recourse, right? No. I don't believe so. So you want that Bill Belichick to be like, you know what?
We're going to jump off sides until tomorrow. We're going to have a war of attrition. It's the only soul.
There's a couple of different things. I think that there's a couple of different reasons why I think it should be banned. And it's not because of how effective it is. The idea that it's not against the rules is kind of murky because you can read the rules a different way to suggest that you're not allowed to help pull or push something. any player in the league.
It's always been against the rules to be able to do that. Recently, they kind of de-emphasized it, I guess, because it's still technically in the rule book, isn't it? That you can't aid and assist someone in that situation. The reason why I don't like it is not because it's effective. I think people want to make it like, oh, you can't stop it, get it out the game. It's because...
It's the responsibility of the league to create the best product. And I think oftentimes we think about rule changes as it relates to health and safety, which sometimes is true. But the rule changes, as we've learned in baseball recently, you got to tweak them. And the NFL and even the NBA has been comfortable with tweaking rules in order to keep the entertainment quality there.
And I think Mike is right at this point. The tush push doesn't bother me as far as entertainment quality. There is some suspense to it. But I do think that it encourages us to a version of football that we don't like. Because if the rules aren't going to make it so you can't do it anymore, then the coaches and general managers have to design plays and draft players in order to stop it.
And I think that sends us in a path that's less fun.
I mean, I've seen Kyler Murray run the ball. I'm not sure that he doesn't also squat 600 pounds. Good point. That dude's got some power.
But it goes to people make the argument, like, if you don't like it, you stop it. Like, it's a manly thing. Like, my pushback from the defensive perspective is, why y'all got to push? If we want to do a quarterback sneak and you want to go mano a mano, your centers and guards against ID tackles and linebackers, then do it. Tell Saquon to get his big quad ass out of there and stop pushing.
It's not as if Mekhi Becton ain't big enough. Like, I want to see that. That, to me, feels like... a fairer matchup and a more interesting and a less lopsided play.
Good job, buddy. Desmond Watson is not like a great college football player. He's just 460 pounds.
That's crazy. Desmond Watson looks like Big X to plug while he is jumping and running, by the way. Did he not?
He wasn't any good, obviously.
I've seen Big X on stage. I'm pretty sure he don't look all athletic. He don't be moving like he could. He don't got a lot of, like, oomph to his experience. That outside zone would have gave Big X... Hell. Push, push, push though. Oh, Big X would have plugged. Might have been the plug for the commanders. So the thing I would push back against you, Mike, what you're saying, I think it's fair.
All the things that you're saying is fair. However. It doesn't address the point that I was making. My point isn't about it's not fair. You know why you don't outlaw the forward pass? It's awesome. You know why you don't outlaw Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson? This is awesome.
This end, it encourages people to get faster, more athletic, more fun to watch people onto the field in order to compensate for Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and also the forward pass. You got to get a more aerial, more fun game.
And I feel like some of the rules changes in football were partially about moving us away from a more physical game in the 90s, but also encouraging passing because it's more fun to watch. And that is my argument for why I don't love the tush push, because you end up in a situation where you start to increase the value of players like Desmond Watson, which no disrespect.
