So here’s an idea, so simple and obvious that it never will be adopted. When a player is ejected, he’s gone for a full 60 minutes of action, even if it carries over to another game.

Thus, get ejected in garbage time of one game, return with the same amount of time left in the next game. Get ejected five minutes into the first quarter of a game, return at the exact same point in the next game. It’s that simple, and it would go a long way toward deterring late-game shenanigans that may not result in a league-imposed suspension.

Of course, that could make officials even more reluctant to issue ejections, since they already shy away from decisions that could affect the outcome of a game. But if the goal is to encourage good behavior — and to discourage bad behavior — a 60-minute ejection would work a lot better than the current rules.

Which, again, means it never will happen.

Talking about how players who get ejections late in games, and normally only garbage time and a fine.

I agree with the article that the punishment should be more time than just garbage time, their suggestion of a full 60 minutes over multiple games might work, or maybe even the rest of that game and the next one, if you worry about 46 active roster selection problems.

The refs normally try not to throw guys out, and in some cases they clearly should have been. Of course counter point, once in a while the ref gets it dead wrong, like ejecting the Seahawks CB for punching WR Adams, when there was no punch thrown (though some have argued he did something else and rightfully was ejected).. but those seem rare.

I like this a lot in concept. In practice it's just going to turn into more of a RULES RUINING THE GAME! clusterfuck, people are going to demand league approval to eject people since it's basically a partial suspension and even then it's just going to spark outrage and lawsuits and other bullshit.

I also like the concept a lot. I can also see appeals and court cases trying to get the defacto suspension for the next game overturned.

I like it especially because it should result in better behavior by the players and fewer ejections. If they are disciplined enough in the first 3 quarters not to get thrown out, they ought to be able to control their emotions throughout the entire game, knowing the ejection could have an actual impact on the season.

Here's what I think....if a player delivers a dirty hit (like the two delivered to Davante Adams this season) then the player that delivered the dirty hit should have to sit out AS LONG AS THE INJURED PLAYER MISSES TIME! If it's a career ending dirty hit, then the player that delivered it is DONE FOR HIS career, also!
I know it won't happen, but it sure would lower dirty hits!

I like the idea in theory, but how do you prevent a team that wants to knock a hated rival out of postseason contention from sending in a fourth-string linebacker off the bench to take out an Aaron Rodgers or a Tom Brady? Even a permanent suspension would be a small price to pay for such a devastating effect.

That's why my theory works flawlessly! Team A gets someone ejected, then Team B gets to pick a player of their choice that has to miss the next match-up between them.
