Great idea Goodell. Eliminate one of the most iconic moments in sports...the kickoff at the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I had the same complaint when moving the ball up on the kickoff was first implemented. All of the flashes of the camera and build-up to capture a touchback?! Nobody wants to see Buffalo's Rian Lindell do that this coming Super Bowl.

Imagine if we had no kickoffs and how different the crazy ending to the Pats/Niners game would be last night.

Pats rattle off 28 unanswered, the Niners are just demoralized, and then LeMichael James returns a kick 70 yards to boost his team, and lead them to a win.

I really hope the league doesn't do this.

Anybody else find it ironic how the title of this thread mentions the word entertaining and removing kickoffs?
