1. The wedge blocks on kickoffs are now illegal. This was done in order to reduce concussions. Fair Enough.

2. Players are no longer allowed to write on there eye black (like Reggie Bush with the 619, Terrelle Pryor with the Mike Vick, and Tebow with his bible verses). Now this is bullshit, who really cares as long as its no profane?

3. Taunting penalties are now spot fouls. For example, if a player is running towards the end zone, and begins high stepping or pointing at another player at the 5 yard line, the points are taken off the board and it is a 15 yard penalty from the spot of the foul, putting them on the 20 yard line. Now this is total bullshit because taunting has no outcome on the play. It is neither beneficial nor detrimental to either team.

Whats everyone else think?

I agree with the taunting, but there is a fine line between that and getting into the end zone by diving. The eye blacks, freaking dumb rule!

I'm fine with the taunting penalty. No need for it. If I were a coach and one of my players got called for that, I'd sit him the rest of the game. Hopefully, they would get the message up front and it would never be an issue.
