They mentioned two rules that they will be using which differ from the NFL. First, they will have the 2-point conversion. Hurrah!! There`s nothing like going for 2 with 3 seconds to go and you`re down by 1. Secondly, they will allow a 1-inch tee for PATs and field goals. This should increase the distances kickers can convert on by 5-10 yards. I`m still going to put BASEBALL as my #1 priority, but will keep an eye on the Chic. Blitz. AS for Herschel, I think he should STAY in school, play 1 more year for Georgia, and then not sign any pro contract till after the `84 Olympics. We could use his speed in the sprints. He`ll still be able to make loads of money after the games, possibly even more with the fame he may earn. Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tomoc
