They could easily make it so the magnets are only turned on after the ball is snapped. And they could turn off after each play, automatically. Would be very easy to do with computers

indigi posted:1) What were these things 2) did they actually do anything 3) how come no one wears them anymore Neck rolls/cowboy collars are supposed to help prevent you from injuring your neck from whiplash or sudden impacts to your head. From my limited experience playing with one in high school, they come at the cost of severely restricting your range of neck motion (and thus vision). Given the league's movements toward strengthening passing, linebackers are more often tasked with pass coverage which seems like it would be significantly harder with one on. I think the only people I see them on anymore at the pro level are fullbacks and maybe DTs. I have no idea if they provide any real benefit, but they definitely make you look badass, so yes more players should use them.

So now instead of carrying large rare earth magnets, the players are now carrying large coils of wire to use as an electromagnet, and also carrying large battery packs along with an antenna and computer controller. This idea just keeps getting better and better. Would love to see the reaction when the first battery pack explodes on the field.

a seismometer in the endzone that measures how hard the ball is spiked. chaos dunk-level spikes will award additional points

Actually i guess that might encourage them to keep their balls at the right pressure so gronk can spike them harder for more points.

What if every first down you "earn" the use of a Vortex Mega Flight for 1 play? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox27e5q9fbI Teams could sign olympic sprinters to just outrun the DB and catch 90 yard bombs. Would be sick

This thread reminds me of a dream I had the other night - in it helmets were augmented with foam mohawks to reduce injury. An arms race of sorts occurred, culminating in everyone spear tackling and the mohawks growing to huge sizes over the course of several seasons.

Wait, who threw the ball in this gif? If it is the dude way in the back who starts casually sauntering towards his murder victims then that guy is a dick. Two people are dead.
