Goodell proposes "Cup Cake" rule to NFL owners. Do you support it?

An unnamed but reliable source in the commissioner's office has leaked the following information.



In an effort to better control the viciousness of the game, hostile behaviors on the field, and to limit player injuries, the commissioner has proposed the following rule:



An elevated platform will be situated behind each team's bench.

A fat guy will sit on each platform with a supply of 20 cupcakes.

The cup cakes may be in team colors and can be of any flavor. No glazing or sprinkles are allowed except for holiday games and the Super Bowl.

Each time a referee calls a contact penalty on his team, the fat guy must eat a cup cake.

If a team runs out of cup cakes the game is over. The team automatically loses the game, regardless of the score and the time remaining on the clock.



The cup cake rule also revises overtime in an effort to limit injuries and hostile behaviors. The football is over and the victory is decided by the cup cakes:



If teams are tied after the end of regulation, the team with the most cup cakes remaining wins.

If the remaining cup cake count is the same, a cup cake "eat off" is conducted.

The fat guy platforms are rolled onto the field at the 50 yard line.

Under supervision of the referee and at his whistle, the fat guys eat their team's remaining cupcakes.

The fat guy that swallows all the cupcakes first wins the game for his team.



Notes:

Reports are that the cup cake rule proposal has met with mixed reactions from the owners.

Any adoption of the rule will also require agreements with the NFLPA (National Football League Players Association) and the NFGLA (National Fat Guy League of American).



Should NFL fans support Goodell's proposed rule?Goodell proposes "Cup Cake" rule to NFL owners. Do you support it?
That is the most brilliant idea I've ever heard.



The best part is that this is a position that the average fan could actually play. Most football fans don't have the physical aptitude to play, say, quarterback. But even the laziest 350 pound tub of lard can now dream of being an NFL star!



I also love the possibility that the cupcake eat-off could come down to an instant replay challenge. Instead of throwing the red flag for that, the coaches should be allowed to wad up the cupcake wrappers and throw those. And can you just imagine watching the slow-motion instant replay to see which fat guy finished his last cupcake first?



As a Vikings fan, I just wish they had this system in place for last year's NFC Championship game. We have some big eaters in my home state, and I would much rather have watched my former neighbors mow down a few cupcakes than endure the heartrending overtime drive that led to the winning field goal for the Saints.



One more thing - during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all of the cupcakes should be pink.
I heard scouts are searching carnivals and obesity research centers for possible recruits. The rule will be officiated in the 2012 season. Starting with a fat guy draft in April 5 days before the NFL Draft. They must have a clear health background to reduce fat man injuries.Goodell proposes "Cup Cake" rule to NFL owners.

this is crazy is it TRUE because if it is its a dumb idea. The Cupcake guy has nothing to do with the game and shouldnt be involved. if this rule passes its the end of football
Well, that's creative. That'd be awful though! A cupcake eat-off to determine the winner of a football game, haha. Pretty funny idea though. I have no idea where you came up with this sh!t.Goodell proposes "Cup Cake" rule to NFL owners. Do you support it?
If JaMarcus Russell ever plays again, then the game will be over in two minutes...
Will the Patriots be stealing recipes from across the sidelines?
This is silly and ridiculus but FUNNY
Love the rule..

Guys like JaMarcus Russell and Wade Phillips could still have NFL jobs.
Re: JaMarcus....only if the cupcake is flavored like purple drank.
Okay I am a fat guy and I want to put my application in for the cupcake eat eating job , let me see if I get this right , they do not have frosting on them ???? How about those chocolate with the coconut on the inside , will that be okay for my team and on holidays we can have frosting and the Super Bowl . When will I hear from Goodell ??????
