And the question is, where does that money go?

And some of that money needs to be redirected to ensuring that officiating is as good as it possibly can be.

And even if you're not going to get to 100%, you need to create the impression you're trying to get to 100%.

And the process needs to have so much more transparency because now with legalized gambling, the thing that the commissioner said some 14 years ago when they hated it before they realized how much money they could make, normal incidents become fodder for conspiracy theories.

And I see that all the time.

People think the fix is in.

There needs to be better officiating, full-time officials, full transparency so people don't see something weird happen and assume that somebody is up to something.

Well, one thing that caught my attention is there's no proposal regarding the tush push.

And everyone's hair was on fire last year.

The tush push must go.

It's unsafe.

It's not football.

And it came within two votes of being scrapped forever.

Two votes.

Well, it would have been scrapped until there would be at least 24 teams that would want to bring it back.

And now, it's not even on the radar screen.

Rich McKay, the chair of the Competition Committee, was asked about that within the last hour.

He pointed out this wasn't a Competition Committee proposal.

Nothing comes out of the Competition Committee unless it's unanimous.

So we've seen in recent years a proliferation of the NFL sidling up to a team to nudge a team to make a proposal.
