i still think football should be played on a grass (preferably muddy) field
As someone who had football-related knee-reconstruction surgery, I respectfully disagree. Yeah, there's something nostalgic about 22 players slogging their way through a mud-covered field, but it just results in way too many ankle, knee and hip injuries. We have field turf, let's stick with it.
other than that, i still think football should be played on a grass (preferably muddy) field with the outcome determined by grit, determination, chance, and physical ability - not robots picking from a statistically optimal playbook. That being said, it will be pretty funny to see the geeks take over the NFL.
