    Panthers: Owner's speech kills rule change
    The News
    An impassioned speech by Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson helped influence fellow owners and league officials to table a proposal to change the NFL's playoff seeding process, according to FanNation.com. The league competition committee had recommended, that wild-card teams with better records than division winners be awarded a home game. The measure was intended to make more late-season games meaningful, thus lessening the chance of teams resting starters in games that don't affect playoff seeding.

    Our View
    Sources said Richardson emphasized how important it is for fans to know that a division title will result in at least one home playoff game. Based on interviews, that position was overwhelmingly supported by league coaches, including Carolina's John Fox.
