Like a number of others, Devin Hester and the Bears are against big-time changes in the NFL's kick-off rules. The NFL Competition Committee met Monday to propose a host of rules changes, one of which is a plan to move kickoffs up to the 35-yard line from the 30. The theory is that the shorter distance will lead to more touchbacks, which will cut down on the violent impacts that lead to injuries for special-teams players. "I see the NFL is trying to take the kickoff game out," Hester tweeted Sunday. "They already punt out of bounds. What's next?" The 28-year-old has an NFL-record 14 kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns since entering the league in 2006. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo told the Chicago Sun-Times that the opposition to the potential change goes beyond his team's interests. "It's not just because of Devin Hester," Angelo said. "It's because it's one of the most exciting plays in football."
