NBA: zone defenses would be allowed [then maybe I wouldn't have to watch 6 guys stand on the far side of the court while 4 guys play the damn pick-n-roll crap]

NFL: no restrictions on the number of players on the LOS

MLB: salary cap + true revenue sharing

NHL: 4 on 4 with no goalies [maybe a smaller rink]

MLS: who cares

College Football: easy, playoff system [and the polls would not be released until after three full weeks into the season]

College Basketball: Dick Vitale would no longer be able to deliver Player of the Year awards just by running his mouth. [T.J. Ford? WTF]

Baseball - runners get to carry the bat with them and are free to knock the ball out of the fielder's gloves with it.

Basketball - the court would have boards around it like in the NHL.

NHL - Allow teams to go over the glass and engage fans who think they are tough by slapping and pounding the glass when players are against it.

NFL - If a QB passes the LOS he is treated like a HB.

Major League Soccer - Players can use their hands, and can pick up the ball and carry it. If another player pushes them down, then they have to get up and start over. If a team can't advance the ball a given distance in four tries, the other team gets the ball. Also, instead of a goal, just put a line on the ends of the field, and to score a player has to accompany the ball over the line. Oh, and no more kicking.

I'd introduce random midget versus dwarf fights at all of the above venues.

On the soccer issue I understand the injury stoppage, but on the outbounds I have to disagree, the game would go on for ever. It is already 45 minute halves and if you stop the clock everytime it goes over the touch line you are looking a long, long, long game.


Golf - Manditory golf ball specs for players. Quit meddling with the courses :cuss:. If you want to bring everyone to even playing field make everyone play the same ball specification.


Football - You can actually tackle a qb ( take off alot of the restrictions).


Baseball - Torn between a salary cap and spending minimum.


NCCAA Baseball - No alum bats.


NCCAA Basketball - 128 teams in the NCCAA tourney. It would only take an extra weekend and no more of this they got snubbed by the committee or what a joke that __________ got invited.


NCCAA Football - Playoff system for championship.

That's interesting. I haven't watched a single basketball game from start to finish this year. I've watched almost every inning of every Rangers game.

This country has ADD.

NBA- raise the rims to 12 feet. That way a game might actually break out during the nightly dunk fests.

And no forward passes.

Lets just steal soccer and make it how football used to be.

Good idea, Rainman.:thumb:

Yep. Great suggestion. And then a dunk would be way cool, too.

Boxing- Go to an open scoring format like the Olympics. It's the only sport that the competitors don't know if they are winning or losing.

The flopping in Basketball; give the refs an opportunity to t-up a flopper for unsportsman like conduct. Basketball games should be decided by the best players, not the best actors.

Don't you know? Boxing is fixed.
