The Stroud Rule: How the NFL's Tallest Player Forced a Rule ChangeIntro Hook: Imagine a defender so tall he didn't need to rush the kicker—he simply stood under the crossbar and swatted field goals away like a basketball center. In the late 1960s, Morris Stroud turned the NFL into a game of "grass-court" goaltending, forcing the league to rewrite its laws to stop one of the most creative "cheats" in sports history.The Man Who Made Field Goals Obsolete: Morris StroudIn the late 1960s, the NFL was an arms race. Coaches were looking for any edge—any loophole—to snatch a victory. But while most teams were looking at the playbook, the Kansas City Chiefs were looking at the rafters.Meet Morris Stroud. At 6'10", he remains one of the tallest players to ever lace up a pair of cleats. Nominally a tight end, Stroud was a physical anomaly in an era of smaller, scrappier players.But Head Coach Hank Stram didn't just want Stroud to catch passes. He had a vision that felt more like a heist than a strategy.The logic was deviously simple: why let the ball go through the uprights when you have a man tall enough to reach them?During field goal attempts, Stroud wouldn't rush the kicker. He wouldn't try to penetrate the line. Instead, he would retreat. He'd stand directly under the crossbar, wait for the ball to reach its apex, and simply... jump.The Tactic: Stroud would swat away kicks that were clearly on a scoring trajectory.The Result: It turned the "automatic" three points into a game of basketball played on grass."It was the ultimate defensive cheat code. You didn't need to block the kick at the line; you just needed a giant to play goalie at the rim."The NFL offices in New York weren't amused. This wasn't "football"—it was an existential threat to the scoring system. If every team found a seven-footer to camp out under the posts, the field goal would become extinct.In 1970, the league lowered the boom.The "Stroud Rule"The NFL officially amended the rulebook to preserve the integrity of the kicking game. The new regulation stated:The Rule: The Penalty. It is illegal to touch or deflect a ball that is above the crossbar and between the uprights.Goal-tending: The field goal is ruled successful, and 3 points are awarded.Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

What was the reaction from the VMAC about being picked for Hard Knocks? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - G is for Gilbert: Logan has given up 8 earned run in his first two starts - H is for Heart of the Order: it's still too early to worry about the struggles of Naylor, Cal and Julio - I is for Impossible: do Justin and Jerry just need to throw their hands up in the air and say finding a guy that dominates left handers is impossible? :45- It's time to get Reckless at breakfast… kind of. A few years ago, this would have been a lot more reckless, but talking about an 18-game NFL season today is just an inevitability. An 18-game season and no preseason games? Possibly.

There is also debate over kickoff modifications, onside kick flexibility, and whether these updates are practical improvements or the beginning of a more complicated system that could frustrate fans and players alike.

The conversation continues with The Rooster upset about the 49ers-Rams game being played in Melbourne, Australia, examining the league's international scheduling choices and the implications for teams, players, and fans.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to preview the NFL owners meetings from the team's perspective. How much would a proposed rule change allowing teams to trade picks up to five NFL drafts out help or hurt GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy in their pursuit of a franchise QB? Would they have a better chance of landing a top name from the 2027 draft class that includes Arch Manning, Dante Moore and others? Or could it lower the overall value of picks in the trade market as the Steelers consider alternatives to Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph? And what would the guys like to hear from Khan, McCarthy and owner Art Rooney II at the meetings? Our duo tackles those topics, then reacts to the signing of running back Travis Homer and the implications it may have for Kaleb Johnson as he searches for touches behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.

Every decision has a cost. Some just make that cost easier to see.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two issues that reveal how the NFL really works when money and principles collide.Norm begins with what may be Jerry Jones' biggest offseason headache: George Pickens. The Cowboys' most explosive receiver is now a free agent, coming off his best season and expecting elite money — money that would further tilt Dallas' budget toward the offense while the defense remains thin. Norm breaks down Pickens' complicated history, the franchise-tag math, and why committing long-term dollars to another receiver could once again leave the Cowboys patching together the other side of the ball. History, Norm reminds us, still favors defense — even if Dallas keeps betting the other way.The episode then pivots to something bigger than football strategy: free speech in the NFL. Norm reacts to the league fining Houston linebacker Aziz Al-Shaair for writing “stop the genocide” on his eye black during a playoff game. The fine raises uncomfortable questions about where the league draws its lines, what kinds of expression are encouraged, and which ones come with a price tag. Norm contrasts the NFL's celebration of charitable causes with its punishment of political expression — and wonders aloud what freedom of speech actually costs inside a multibillion-dollar league.It's an episode about choices — who gets paid, who gets fined, and how often the league's priorities are revealed not by words, but by numbers.Chapters00:00:00 – Jerry Jones' offseason problems and today's questions00:01:29 – The George Pickens dilemma begins00:02:22 – From troubled talent to elite production00:03:47 – Pickens' market value and CD Lamb comparisons00:04:33 – Franchise tag vs. long-term commitment00:05:30 – Offensive spending and defensive consequences00:06:15 – Kicking the salary cap down the road00:07:05 – “Busting the budget” — again00:07:52 – Why Super Bowl history still favors defense00:08:59 – Sponsor break and Full Moon Healing Balm00:10:18 – Freedom of speech in the NFL takes another hit00:11:10 – Aziz Al-Shaair fined for his message00:12:07 – NFL Rule 5 and restricted expression00:13:00 – The cost of saying the wrong thing00:13:58 – Sponsor break and closing acknowledgments00:14:19 – Final thoughts and sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
