3. Force Tom Brady to retire. Ok, this one is just kidding. Maybe.

Addendum to #2 : all games must be on broadcast TV. No more NflNet/ESPN exclusive bullshit.

That will never happen, as the league is driven by money and profit.

Do you really think that the NFL would turn down $2 billion a year for MNF from ESPN?

Agreed.
