That would put some drama in the PAT, and I don't think it would be such a change that those who hate change for change sake would be too upset over that. That way, if there happens to be an offensive penalty on the PAT, then it really puts them in danger of missing the point. I'd say either that or just go for two after every TD<snip>

If the PAT is eventually changed, this is a solution I could learn to live with.

I'm sorry I was under the mistaken impression the point of the entire sport was to entertain the fans.

Yes, I was a little heated when I typed that.

And the point of the NFL is to entertain fans, but when you do away with an integral part of the game so the fans are more entertained, then you're sacrificing the great game of football for mere entertainment. I don't think any part of the game should be changed so the fans enjoy it more. It's lasted for many years, so why change it now? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
