Leave it to Josh Norman to speak his mind.
Camiseta De Luis Suarez Barcelona .Asked how
he thinks the NFL product could be improved, the never-shy, oft-fined Washington
Redskins cornerback quickly offered one suggestion: Its time for some turnover
at league headquarters.Simple: Get the people who are in there out. Whoevers
making the rules, just get `em out. We have a new president; have a new NFL
commissioner, Norman said, sitting in front of his locker at the Redskins
practice facility this week.Then the guy docked more than $75,000 this season
for various reasons -- an illegal hit, a bow-and-arrow pantomiming celebration
and, most recently, postgame criticism of an official -- added wryly: I hope I
dont get fined for that.With the NFLs TV ratings down this season, its become a
popular parlor game to come up with explanations for the decline. Also popular:
the notion that the quality of the product has decreased. If thats true, how can
the game get better?Its still a great game. But theres no question theres
probably a lot of things that could help the game, said Dan Reeves, who coached
four Super Bowl teams after his career as a running back ended.For one thing,
Reeves surmised, rules in the 2011 labor contract that eliminated training camp
two-a-days and reduced in-season practicing in pads to protect players might
have had the opposite effect.Its very difficult to learn how to block and tackle
now, so technique-wise, things are not as good as they could be. From a coachs
standpoint, its very difficult to get good at things if you dont practice, he
said. And I personally wonder if injuries are up, because you dont learn how to
protect yourself playing at full speed. The only time you really do it now is in
a game.Reeves also offered a theory about the ratings, saying: Youre getting a
little overexposure. Its sort of like when youre eating -- after a while, you
get enough.Among the various improvements suggested by current and former
players during conversations with The Associated Press:-Expand rosters, both to
account for replacing injured players and perhaps to lessen the likelihood of
injury by giving some players more snaps off.I would find a way to get three
more players on both sides of the ball. Maybe one each for offensive line,
running back and quarterback, then add another defensive lineman, another a
linebacker and another defensive back, Pro Football Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott
said.-Make all stadiums have grass fields, to try to lessen injuries.-Let
defensive players go back to being more physical.I understand the league is
trying to keep people safe, but I think its so hands-on that you cant play as
fast as you want to, sometimes. It kind of messes you up, because if you do go
all out ... you might end up giving most of your money back from that week in
fines for a hit or a certain tackle, New York Jets safety Rontez Miles said.-Try
to rebalance a field tilted in favor of offense.If you really, really, really
want to see how good receivers are today, eliminate the 5-yard rule, and go back
to letting defensive backs play football, said Joe Theismann, who won a Super
Bowl as quarterback of the Redskins. Maybe the wide receivers would have to work
again and it would be fair, because right now, its not.-Have more significant
consequences for game officials who err .A referee could make a bad call and
cost a team a game, Redskins defensive lineman Chris Baker said, and all thats
going to happen is theyre going send an apology letter and say, `Im sorry. But
nothing actually happens.-Rewrite the rulebook to make it more easily
understood. Start with the definition of a catch.-Stop throwing flags or doling
out fines when a good play is followed by rejoicing.Maybe stop policing the
celebrations so harshly. I think thats one place to start, Packers QB Aaron
Rodgers said.Washingtons Norman certainly would agree. Otherwise, though, he
thinks the on-field state of the NFL is in good shape -- just not necessarily in
good hands.The game has been this way for 100 years. Why are people in the
(league) office trying to change it? What are you trying to make better? Why
touch the game? ... Change the staff. We changed the president; lets change
them, too, he said. There should be a number of years you can run it. There
should be a term limit in the NFL.---AP Pro Football Writers Dave Campbell and

about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about
hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by
anyone outside their inner circle.

Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout,
shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the
tournament course record. CONCORD, N.C. -- A career-long 24-race winless
streak.Only two cars qualifying for the Chase for the Cup championship.Dale
Earnhardt Jr.s season-ending concussion.Yep, it has been a rough season for
Hendrick Motorsports -- but Jimmie Johnson is out to salvage it.Johnson gained
some big-time momentum and a measure of breathing room on Sunday in his quest
for a record-tying seventh Cup championship, winning at Charlotte to advance to
the third round for the first time since the new playoff format was established
in 2014.Johnson was knocked out in the second round two years ago. He bowed out
in the first round last year.We knew we would get back in victory lane, Johnson
said. Yes, it was slower than we wanted it to be, but to be here today and have
this victory is great.Hendrick said he was so excited to win that he took his
first champagne bath ever after the race.It feels good, Hendrick said with a
satisfying smile.Johnson and Chase Elliott were the only Hendrick drivers to
make the Chase after Earnhardt was forced to call it a season while dealing with
concussion symptoms and Kasey Kahne was unable to find victory lane.It looked
like it might be another tough-luck day for owner Rick Hendrick when Elliott was
knocked out of the race in a wreck after leading 103 laps. But Johnson took the
baton in the second half of the race and led 155 laps.Johnson passed Matt
Kenseth on the restart with 17 laps remaining and held on to win his third race
of the season and his record eighth win at his home track.Together, Hendrick
drivers combined to lead 258 of 334 laps, leaving Chase driver Kyle Busch to
wonder if the powerhouse team is back.They had some speed, Busch said. Maybe
they are bringing new cars and theey have found something -- and have been
holding out on us.
Camiseta Lionel Messi. . We will have to be
start doing the same thing.Said Johnson: We have hit on some things. But we cant
celebrate too much. But this does buy us a couple of weeks of freedom in the
Chase.Hendrick said the last few months were difficult, saying for a while we
were struggling to get in the top 10.I cant tell you how many races we were in a
position to win, Hendrick said. There would be a caution or something and we
would just fumble the ball.Hendrick said the team went back to the wind tunnel
for testing and worked hard to find more speed.Usually teams come apart when
they are not finding speed, Hendrick said. But the guys came together.Said
Hendrick: Charlotte is like home to us. Its been a drought.After the race, one
of Johnsons children pulled a fake $1 million bill out of Johnsons pocket that
he been given a long time ago by Humpy Wheeler.That seemed to match Johnsons
million-dollar smile on Sunday.Really we just fell back on what we are made of
at Hendrick Motorsports, he said. There is a culture there and a belief. It was
not fun to experience all that we have been through, but we have seen the cars
get stronger, better and faster. We were able to execute all day long here.Among
active drivers at Charlotte, Johnson came in ranking first in average running
position (8.3), driver rating (109.6) and laps led (1,740).Johnson said his team
might have benefited from Saturday nights race being postponed because of
Hurricane Matthew.He likes running at Charlotte in the daytime.We like the sun,
Johnson said.
