I'm not certain it's the right dateline. Phoenix, Scottsdale and the other strip malls and six-lane roads are not in the same place, apart from the lush fitness trails, and stucco villas tucked inside the complex at Arizona Biltmore. Arizona Biltmore that is where MUT 23 ltds owner general managers, coaches and other football technocrats have gathered for their annual reunion and golf tournament.

The lure of the fairway has to wait. Owners and employees have plenty of issues to think about. Certain of these items will shape how the game takes place and how it is managed. There are other agenda points concentrated on keeping America's most popular entertainment business profitable and in addition, above the scrutinization it faced in the past annual gathering.

The meetings officially started Monday morning, but the excitement began last night with a keynote address from David Brooks, the Mr. Excited himself David Brooks! The Madden NFL 23 is fascinated by Republican media apparatchiks. In the past, Frank Luntz was here dispensing useful advice about semantics wearing a bizarre hat.

There are 13 proposals for changing instant replay. One proposal allows officials to use replay to resolve problems in the timer. Another idea would be to have officials look over any penalty that causes an automatically first down.

Two of the replay plans on the list are expected to gain any momentum. One, submitted by the Patriots will allow coaches to challenge any play, excluding scores and turnovers while still having the same amount of challenges they currently do. The secondproposal, also by the Patriots will put cameras along the boundary lines. ESPN included them for the college football playoffs, cameras in the pylons. But Madden NFL 23 believes these will be too costly.

It seems that Madden NFL 23 moves at a glacial pace. It's unlikely that owners will cut off the PAT completely, in the near future at least. There is a proposal from the Patriots (activist Madden NFL 23 teams and smh) that would move the ball back towards the 15-yard line making it more difficult to automate. The Colts are looking to make the extra points truly insane.
