A Fun Little Sports Debate

NCAAF: 8 team playoff. IMO, most years,the top 8 every years could say the have some claim for a chance.

Here is a fantasy one for NFL: BigPlay points, any play over 50yds would be worth extra points. TD over 50: +2 FG over 50: +1

1. NFL: Auction-style OT -- each team "bids" for starting position, blindly, and the team that chooses the worst starting position gets the ball at that point. Sudden death I keep.
2. MLB: I'd put a chalk "balk line" on the mound. If you are on or over it when you release the ball, it's a balk. I call it the Andy Pettitte Rule.
3. NBA: Cut the number of playoff teams to 10, giving the division champs byes, and making the "play-in" round best of 3.

2. NBA: Playoff teams reduced to 12.

2) NFL - OT, both teams get a possession and/or 1 additional quarter of play straight up (not first to score)

Optionally each team picks one player and they enter thunderdome...

3) NBA - There's so many...I dunno, make fouls not as lame, and when the game says 1 minute left, you get the idea that it'll actually end soon, etc etc...

2. MLS - Make the league one table, no more east and west divisions.

Basketball: Fouls inside of one minute of a game with a 10 or more point differential lead to a 10 second run-off.

• 2) Have the ability to send underperforming officials (in any sport) to the minors. If bad players can get sent down...

• 3) Eliminate the no contact rule regarding defensive backs in the NFL. Allowing receivers to run at will around the field trying to get open without the fear of contact makes pieces of crap like Tom Brady Hall of Famers.

• Instant replay for HR and foul balls.

• Don't make base coaches wear helmets.

• 2) NBA: I second Juts elimination of totally lame fouls. They are men, they should be able to make a play with a little contact. And, it is so inconsistant.

• 3) NBA: Either raise the hoop 1-2 feet. or eliminate goaltending or the dunk. I don't get it, if you can take the ball all the way to the hoop with you hand, why can't you block it all the way to the hoop. If you don't want to eliminate dunking or allow goaltending then at least raise the hoop to reduce the amount of dunks.
