The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Burn The Tape

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.
