What ONE RULE would you change in either MLB, NCAA or NFL foots if you had the POWER

What would the rule be.....I would change the OT rule in NFL

JimmyHoffa · Sep 14, 2005

NFL football - Change to the NCAA rule of one foot inbounds IS a completion.

NCAA football - Change to the NFL rule that if a ball carrier does NOT go down by contact he can get up and keep running.

MLB - NO designated hitter in either league.

AMEN

In the NFL, I would change the rule for illegal contact by a defensive player. If it's 3rd and 25 and you commit a 5-yard penalty, the other team should not be awarded an automatic first down. You should get the 5 yards and then you get to run another play.

NFL - Cut out all the ridiculous unecessary roughness penalties. You nseeze on the QB, it's a penalty. Hit a receiver coming over th emiddle - it's a penalty because he is defenseless. Give me a break. NCAA is shifting more and more in this direction as well.

instant replay for every sport

NFL: Pass interference would be a 15 yd penalty from previous spot.

NCAA: Clock would only stop on 1st downs in last 2 minutes of each half.

Both NFL and NCAA football: Either get rid of the 2 pt play or get rid of overtime.

NFL--Other than offsides, no flags on punts or kickoffs.

let the guy score from first base on a ground rule double, unless the runner is a catcher or paul konerko.

NFL - NO single-point conversions. Biggest waste of time ever. ALL conversion attempts would be 2 points.

NBA - WAY fewer time-outs. Let the game roll at the end instead of all the stoppages.

DrunkenHorseplayer · Sep 14, 2005

NFL and NCAA: One full quarter of OT without sudden death, no automatic first downs on any penalty except PI.

Baseball: DH in both leagues.

I like both of these

i would move the goal posts back to the spot on the goal line... much more fun when they were in the way ..

and i would have hockey goalies go back to not wearing masks..

and football players who blocked in the back on any kick return would be hung from the goal post .

cmogly · Sep 14, 2005

Goalies with out masks, lol. You'd have several deaths a year. Brings to mind the Clint Malarchuk incident. Scariest thing I've ever seen in sports.

MLB: Hitters MUST stay in the box for the ENTIRE at bat

NFL: The ground CAN cause a fumble! Why the hell can't it? When we were kids and we played tackle football it was simple - you get tackled - you get up w/o the ball - FUMBLE! You try this "Ground caused the fumble" crap you better run fast or have a fast bike because you are gonna have to haul your ass out of there to keep from getting beaten up

NCAA Foots: Naked Cheerleaders. Can you imagine some of those tight body babes naked for the entire game? Gimme some of the USC Song Girls or SEC babes fully nekkid as well as now we can REALLy tell if those blue-eyed blondes from Texass are TRUE blondes or not :hump: :hump: :hump: :103631605

Have the NFL go to the old USFL overtime rules.

1. Be the first team to score 6 points in OT
OR
2. Be ahead at the end of the OT extra quarter.

I like it alot. Still brings the FG into play. How it is now, these teams are playing on a shortened field in OT. Just gotta get inside the 30, run it between the hash marks and kick it. Game Over. I like the first to score to 6 alot.

scottw · Sep 14, 2005

That OT rule makes a coach actually have to THINK in OT. Ball on the 20, 3rd and 10. Do you sit on it and kick a FG and hope you hold the other side the rest of the way? Or do you go for the game winning TD? As it is now, QB falls forward, kicker kicks 35 yarder for the win. No thought involved.

THERECORDKEEPER2 · Sep 14, 2005

MLB- If a releiver comes in the game with the lead and gives it up, but his team scores in the same inning, do not give the releiver a SAVE.

Wrigley · Sep 14, 2005

In the NHL during the regular season if the 5 minute 4 on 4 Overtime no one scores rather then a shootout. Play 3-3 for 2 mins if no one scores play 2-2 for 2 mins. If no one scores play 1-1 until someone does. You can make line changes during the flow of play or if there is a whistle.
