The CFL wants to increase its use of video review for all scoring plays but has
shelved a proposal that would have allowed coaches to challenge pass
interference calls.
Nike Roshe Run pas cher . The leagues rules
committee has recommended that all scoring plays -- touchdowns, field goals,
coverts and safeties be reviewed. Previously, teams had to spend a challenge to
review a touchdown while scoring plays on kicks were not reviewable. "Scoring
plays have a great impact on the outcome of a game and putting in additional
measures to ensure those calls are correct is prudent," said CFL director of
officiating Tom Higgins. "When considering these types of changes, we also must
consider the flow of the game and the duration of any challenge. For the vast
majority of scoring plays, we believe that the replay official will confirm the
scoring plays before the next play without a delay." But a proposal to have pass
interference calls be potentially overturned by a coachs challenge and video
review was put off until next off-season, after the league has more time to
study the matter and collect data on pass interference calls. Another proposal
would have changed defensive pass interference to a 15- or 25-yard penalty,
instead of awarding the ball with a first down at the point of the infraction.
It too will be discussed again next off-season. Pass interference calls have
been the most contentious in the CFL over recent seasons, resulting in the
dismissal of an official following a blown call in a game at Winnipeg last
season. The league also addressed its recent epidemic of helmets coming off the
heads of players by recommending two new rules. Play will now be blown dead when
a ball carrier loses his helmet. And players who are not carrying the ball who
lose their helmets will now be penalized if they attempt to continue
participating in the play. "Every year we task our rules committee to discuss
ways to improve our already great game," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "The
safety of our players is paramount and we continue to challenge ourselves to
find new ways within our rule book to make the game safer for our athletes." All
proposals must be approved by the board of governors prior to the start of the
season.

cartilage from the right elbow, according to the Cardinals. The 33-year-old
Wainwright is expected to begin physical therapy in two weeks and resume his
off-season throwing program in eight weeks.General manager John Mozeliak and
manager Mike Matheny faced repeated questions about Wainwrights health when he
had two poor post-season starts before finishing strong in the Giants clinching
win in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series.Wainwright failed to get out of the
fifth inning in the division series opener against the Dodgers and in Game 1
against San Francisco, blaming poor mechanics rather than injury or fatigue
after both outings.Mozeliak and Matheny made no mention of the injury at a news
conference to review the season earlier this week..
