The NFL is getting more serious about conduct in the stands.

This year, its teams are requiring any fan who gets ejected from a stadium to take a four-hour online course before they are permitted to come back into the facility again.

The course, designed by psychotherapist Dr. Ari Novick in tandem with the MetLife Stadium security director Daniel DeLorenzi, focuses on alcohol abuse, anger management and crude behavior. A handful of teams have used the course over the past couple seasons, but this summer, as part of a review of their best practices, every team decided to enforce the course on offending fans this season.

Interesting shecolt......I would hate to be with my kid...have season tickets and some drunk slob is all mouthy....I think I would have the online course coming pretty quickly. As long the correct folks are ejected...all for it.

Sorry, I forgot to add my thoughts.

I applaud the NFL for taking action to make the game day experience safer and more pleasant for others, but I also wonder how much it will help.

And, I was surprised that the teams get to set the price of the course. I suppose it is done in correlation to the cost of living in the respective areas. :dunno:

In all the games I've went to I've been lucky enough to not experience someone who was disruptive enough to need to be ejected, but I certainly think it's a good program to have. I do wonder, however, how the process works. If someone is told they need to leave then they can just leave. I doubt there is any legal obligation to do anything after that. So you have to wonder who's going to stop them from coming back after that. I would imagine in order to issue the online course, they'd have to get the person to sign or agree something.

I went to the 05 playoff debacle on a party bus. Was drinking with some firefighters, and one of them got kicked out of the game and locked up in a brig under the old dome. On the way home he said "I'd do it again, if it meant we won".. 4 hour course isn't going to fix dumb.

If a guy buys a single game ticket from a scalper or whatever,gets kicked out.How can they stop him from doing it again?

"They've got ways...to make you talk.....:) Security is so tough......the security guy for the Broncos got nailed by a kick....drilled in fact :)

What does someone get kicked out for? cheering for the other team? My guess this year is swearing at the pitiful referees. The stadiums will be empty :)

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By stitches · Posted

      I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk.

      You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year.

      Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :
