With snow still coming down I am forced to stay home and wait for 7pm for some action to start up. So I am going to make a post about a few ideas to make sports better. Not all of these would work but I am just going off the top of my head with little to no research so bare with me.
NFL
Overtime We all know OT needs to be fixed. It just isn't right. It's too easy to get into FG range. When you do it comes down to a head case who doesn't fit on a football field trying to kick it through the posts. It's just bad and often very unexciting. You can't revert to the college OT because then we have inflated scores, inflated stats, and a different game really. However, what you can do is say you need 6 points to get the win. You can acheive the 6 points (obviously) with 2 FG's or a TD. This would make football much more exciting and would be fair to both teams. If you give up a TD first drive you deserve to lose, if you give up a FG then you get your turn with the ball. Just think of the scenarios. In OT teams trying to pound it in from 3 yards out with the game on the line. Would be fantastic for the game. If no team acheives the 6 points at the end of OT then the team leading wins. If still tied go into 2nd OT which brings me to my next point.
Also take out the ties. Even hockey abolished the tie. The NFL is the only major US sport you can now tie in. Just make the standard 15:00 quarters and every quarter is treated as halftime. (Example) Bears @ Packers tied 21-21. We go to OT, Packers win toss and take ball. After 15:00 of overtime it is 24-24 with both teams getting a FG. The Bears now receive in the 2nd OT with a shot to win it with a FG. However if the Packers had been winning 24-21 at the end of the 1st OT they are declared the winners.
Celebrations
Why not? Why can't they celebrate. It is great for the fans and doesn't hurt anybody. Props brought onto the field should be out but why can't the guy do whatever he wants with the ball or FG post. Makes the game fun. Just dish out hefty fines for ones that are inappropriate or offensive (Moss mooning crowd).
Quarterbacks
Take the skirt off of them. It is the NFL. These d-lineman work way to hard to get to the QB only to take a penalty for having their forearm make contact with the helmet. Sure helmet to helmet and other illegal hits should be out but this is football.
Going to smoke a joint and will be back with more. I know your all anxiously waiting.
