Jack, you'll be able to hear the banjos in Bethlehem!

Jim Kaekel · 03-03-2011, 01:16 PM

Oh no, not this again. Leave the rule alone. My 02.

Roger K Fain · 03-03-2011, 02:08 PM

For those of you wanting the worse red light rule, you should also consider lobbying the NFL for a "best-out-of-three" coin flip prior to all games; the NBA to raise the basketball goal to 12 ft. to make it fair; have professional baseball umpires enlarge the strike zone to include from the neck to the ankles, and allow the batter four strikes.

To Ron,
Good call, nothing but net.

Roger K Fain,

You are correct, almost. First the NFL should change the overtime rule, it just sucks. Kansas City Tiebreaker is way more enjoyable.

The NBA needs to understand what a foul and palming the ball, along with traveling mean, and enforce it. That and an automatic ejection for falling on the floor in the "act" of being fouled.

MLB needs to call the real actual strike zone, armpits to knees over the plate, not where they are standing, and while we are at it how about that ridiculous "in the area of" when tagging a base in a double play. About allowing a batter four strikes, no way, how about two strikes and three balls to shorten the boring part.

And as far as worst light vs first redlight, don't care, but before someone makes a stand on what they believe, they first should put themselves in the same position as both views are from different perspectives. Slow cars vs Fast cars.

U/SA don't red light, don't red light, don't red light, ........................damn it.

I believe that the worst red light should be tried at the bracket level first to determine if it would really go over before its considered anywere else.

The next thing people will be wishing for is to race Pinks style. By that I mean making lifting illegal! If you get caught lifting off the throttle or hitting the breaks, you are disqualified.....making it illegal to "hold."

So dumb to even continue this but I can't help it.
It's so simple. Once the first car fouls, THERE IS NO RACE from that point on. The red lighter has been ELIMINATED and the race is OVER. What the second driver does after that is of no consequence because the round is already over. Unless foul worse than a red light occurs. It's a time trial, test n tune pass, a chance to win the Perfectly Strange award, if they still have that, wave to you friends whatever.
So take that last beating you dead horse......
