Posted: 12/30/2007 9:24:50 PM | Suggest a rule . . in any sport . . that could be added, changed, or totally eliminated . . to improve that particular sport .
Comment on previous suggestions, and/or add your own . .
I've got at least a small list for every major sport, but in fairness . . I'll start with One . . :
#1 . . Football . . . . .
What is the _Purpose_ of the 2-Minute Warning . . ??
To tell the _coaches_ that there's 2 minutes left in the half ??
If ANYone knows the time . . it's the Coaches!!
To give the teams a Time-out to prepare for the last 2 minutes ?
...Aren't teams allowed 3 per half . . ??
Why not just give them 4 . . and Run the Clock . . ?? | |

The two minute warning is not universal in football; it is an invention of the NFL, most likely to create interest and opportunity late in the game, so TV viewers don't tune away from a game that might otherwise look out of hand...college football circumvents this by having the clock stop briefly whenever the offense makes a first down. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 3:05:27 PM | Football: Allow as many forward passes as a team can muster.
Baseball: Baseball is almost as boring as golf. Let's cut the game down to 2 innings.
Golf: Add cheerleaders and maybe I'll watch.
Fencing: Get rid of right-of-way rules. Allow cuts as well as thrusts. Make the whole body a valid target. We can call the sport foil-epee-sabre until someone comes up with a better name.
Hockey: Add a second puck to the game. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:38:22 PM | Baseball....... Play each and every team 3 games each ......... reduces the season which is way to long!
Football....... each team play every team one game and increase the season.
Hockey........ A bigger net by three feet
Basketball......... make the rims smaller just like the ones at the fairs and each basket gets them a stuffed animal which they can trade up for a larger stuffed animal

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:50:22 PM | Pro Football could use a lot of basic rule changes.
There's no reason to have so many kickoffs. 90% of the time the opposing team ends up with the ball on their own 20 yd. line anyway. How many players get injured on useless kickoffs ?
After each touchdown, the opponent starts with the ball on their own 20 and eliminate the kickoff.
Whenever a team attempts a field goal, the opponent gets possession at the spot of the kick. Not just missed field goals, all attempted field goals. If a team kicks a 50 yd. field goal they give the ball back on the 40. This would make teams go for touchdowns more often rather than settling for field goals.
Get rid of the 2 feet in rule. 1 foot in should be good enough for a reception. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 7:00:38 PM | *Football* . .
Narrow the Gaolposts 5 feet . .
Field-goals are worth 2-points {No more than 2 per Half} . .
Touchdowns worth 7 . . w/ 1 or 2-point P A T . .
A Safety is worth _5_ points . .
As it is . .
Which team is Better ??
. . the team that can't get any closer than the opp. 30 . . and kicks
3 field-goals . .
...or...the team that actually gets in the End-Zone . . ??? | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 7:12:46 PM | Pro Basketball, get rid of all the clocks.
Divide the game into best of 5 periods. Whichever team scores 21 points first wins the period and they have to win by 2. This would be a must score system, neither team can play the clock.
I'm sick of looking at show boating dunks ! Basketball was much more entertaining when the dunk was illegal.
Dunks should be worth 1 point, field goals worth 2 pts., keep the 3 pt. shot, but field goals beyond half-court should be worth 5 pts. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 7:17:52 PM | The 5-point shot sounds good . .
Just Raise the Rim . . and only the Tallest will be _Able_ to dunk . . !!!

Posted: 1/1/2008 7:29:38 PM | 1. NFL Football is basically a venue for commercialism so there will be little change to improve the flow of the game.........However if it could be done i would:
a) get rid of all time outs....b) get rid of kick-offs.....c) do not stop the clock any more than 8 seconds if the ball/player go outta bounds (to prevent delays)......d) allow forward passing...e) give 6 points for a TD scored as a result of a hand-off from the QB and give 7 points if it was from a thrown pass!
2. NBA......as was already said..1)raise rims by 3-4 feet.......2) get rid of the shot clock
3.NHL....remove time outs and the OT/shootout (it is BS).....give 1 game suspension to any player who initiates a fight.....give autmatic 10 game suspension to anyone using the stick as a weapon!
4. Soccer- use 2 refs....and start using instant replay!
5.Golf-get topless cheerleaders.
6 bullfighting-let the bull win every once in a while! | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 4:51:47 AM | The issue of raising the basket was brought up when Wilt Chamberlain started playing.
He said, " I don't care if they raise it to the roof, I'll still be closer to it than anyone else ". | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 3:10:26 PM | Basketball - On the go player substitution like in hockey
Baseball - Reduce the number of pitchers you can bring in to any one game (2?)but still allow someone already on the field to switch with the pitcher.
Football - Whoever wanted to eliminate kickoffs must not be a Chicago fan.

Posted: 1/2/2008 6:22:39 PM | Rugby Union:
- Reduce the teams to 13 a side.
- Award fewer points for kicks at goal (i.e. to make tries more attractive).
- Scrap line-outs and contested scrums.
- Do away with unlimited possession.

Posted: 1/2/2008 9:48:27 PM | Baseball: Eliminate the balk rule. It's pointless and even umpires don't understand it.
Hockey: Drop the shootout and return to the interference rules and the like as they were before the lockout. | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 11:33:35 AM | "Eliminate kickoffs" umm no, DEVIN HESTER!
I'd say the major rule they need to change in the NFL is the force out rule. It penalizes the defense for making a good play, if a guy can't get two feet in bounds whether hit or not that's that. | |
