Like countless football fans, a prominent former NFL referee and expert rules analyst can’t take the “tush push” play anymore and wants it banned.

The Philadelphia Eagles executed the tush push to perfection against the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s highly anticipated Super Bowl rematch, riding the practically unstoppable play to a 20-17 victory.

The NFL discussed banning the play in the offseason, but they decided to keep it legalized. But if Fox rules analyst and former NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino gets his wish, the play will be scrapped sooner rather than later.

During the live broadcast on Fox Sports, Blandino told colleagues Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady that he’s “done with” Philly’s tush push play.

“I am done with the tush push guys,” Blandino said. “It’s a hard play to officiate.”

Perhaps the NFL, NFLPA and team owners will discuss the idea of banning the play for good in the offseason. That would be a blow to the Eagles’ offensive gameplan, but it’s not like traditional quarterback sneaks are easy to stop, either.

The 2-0 Eagles will host Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. The Chiefs will visit the New York Giants on “Sunday Night Football.”

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.

Thus, with things looking quite upbeat for Jordan, it now remains to be seen how things pan out in the future.
