they've had no problems with it for over a hundred years - why change now? i still can't believe randy moss brought this whole non-issue up. there are so many bigger problems in the game now and this is what we should focus on?

were on the same page at least, with the other issues.
but i do think the whips are actually pointless, and i dont think ppl would even notice if they got rid of them
