That's not a bad metric; I'm just not sure I trust the NFL and the zebras to call it right or consistently.Signal to Noisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128427529258396556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35665323.post-76083571479538507662007-03-20T11:06:00.000-07:002007-03-20T11:06:00.000-07:0015 yards and a first down is more than enough of a...15 yards and a first down is more than enough of a penalty. The spot foul is exactly how you describe it -- devastating. I wouldn't mind two degrees of PI, but the spot foul would have to be absolutely egregious.

There shoudl definately be two forms of penalty for the pass inteference; as you say 15 yards and a fresh set of downs is a decent award.<BR/><BR/>On the holding thing, yeah it seems a bit messed up doesn't it? I hate to say it, but I think they're putting a bit too much emphasis on any holding foul. <BR/><BR/>Shit, if you're being held just smack the guy in the stomach, that works...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
