1. Football: goal posts to 10 feet apart;  all passes behind the line are considered running plays and the yardage credited to the receiver- then we rate the QBs

2.  BB (if anybody cares): dunks = 0.5 points, shots from beyond half court = 10 points

3. Soccer (if anybody cares): mark field like hockey, no offsides once the ball is in the opponents 1/4; get rid of the penalty kicks,  remove 2 players in each OT and play til someone wins

4. Darts: move the line back to 20 feet from the board

Appearently I have too much time on hands today (wife is away visiting grandchildren).

Keep posting brother we’ll agree on something one day lol just kidding. I say do kickoffs at the 30 and move the extra point back 10 yards for the kick and put the ball at the 5 yard line if you go for 2. Get more strict on targeting for safety of the players.

lol Make it interesting, any pass behind the line of scrimmage is a live ball. You don't catch it, it's a fumble.

I forgot baseball: If pitcher takes more than 15 sec between pitches - batter is awarded 1st base. If batter leaves the batter's box between pitches or adjusts his batting gloves - he is deemed a putout

I'd keep soccer exactly how it is. Most popular in the world and growing in the states, no need to rock the boat.

Love the baseball one!  Games are too long and people are losing interest.

I’ll play. 

Golf: Full contact. I want a JJ Watt type gentlemen in a 3 point stance off to the side of the tee box. Once Mr Knickerbockers steps up on the green, he has 10 seconds to hit it off the tee before the Kracken is released to wreck havoc. This may actually implore me to watch. All shots after the tee box are up for the same approach, if the poor sap survives the first. Oh yeah, and the guy hitting the ball can be heckled the entire time. Why do these guys get treated like royalty? 

Basketball: Each team only gets 1 timeout inside of 2 minutes. This nonsense of the last 2-5 minutes of a basketball game taking 20 minutes is ridiculous. If a team attempts to call more than one timeout inside of the 2:00 mark, it’s a technical. 

Football: Loosen up on the defensive back restrictions. The primadonna WRs have it way to nice. Get rid of the ticky tack, no contact after 5 yards rule. 

Spiking the ball to stop the clock is an intentional grounding penalty. I’ve never understood why it isn’t? 

I’m sure I’ll think of more. These are good starters.

Just an FYI... basically the same reason that throwing it away is allowed outside the tackle. Because there is a specific carve out in the rulebook that allows it 😛

Yes. I get it, Roam. Get rid of the loophole.
