If you could add/change a rule in each sport

[Jon_Vilma]

Me:NFL: Only required to have 6 men on the line of scrimmage at the snap of the ball, instead of 7. This will allow for more variations on passing formations.NBA: No more back-court penalty. The backcourt penalty was invented to "speed up the game." But the game is more than "fast" enough. Let the players use the whol court for Pete's sake!MLB: A picher throwing a ball to 1st base more than 4 times per at bat results in a "ball" being called for the batter. Exception: if the batter passes the halfway mark between bases. I'm sick and tired of watching a pitcher throw the ball to 1st 8 times during an at bat!

 

[bobferg]

NFL: Abolish all the gay quaterback rules, and treat them like anyother player on the field. I hate seeing great hustle sacks get called back for a hand to the helmet.NBA: go back to the old school with no dunking. People don't even know how to shoot anymore, all they do is dunk. Also expand the key and change it from 3 in the key to 2 seconds. and actually call it, yes even on superstars like shaq.MLB: take away the bean ball rule. Pitchers are afraid to throw inside, becuase they can accidently hit a batter and get thrown out of the game. Fuck the DH. make the AL pitchers actually be athletes and run and hit. Stop letting pitchers wear a jacket when they get on base, why do they get special treatment.

 

[DevinHester23]

NFL: Get rid of the BS QB hit penaltysNBA: Make the current 3-point shot a 4-point shot, and bring the 3 to where it is in college/high school.MLB: Either bring the DH into both leagues or make use of the different rules come interleague time. Have the pitcher hit in games in AL parks, and use the DH in games in NL parks.

 

[Agent Zero]

NFL: Get rid of the "down by contract" rule thing. When the ref reviews the play and he sees that the guy wasn't down (even though they blew the whistle dead), and the defense picks up the fumble, give them the ball, but move them back like 10 yards to make it fair.NBA: Have 5 challenges a game... whether it's a foul or just any blown call, let the coaches the game all together.MLB: Get rid of the umpires and get electronic stuff that are FAIR.

NFL: Get rid of biased/conspiracy referees at Redskins games.

MLB- DH for both leagues. Bring Instant review to the game for Homeruns and close plays. NBA-Make it mandatory for all-stars to attend the Dunk contest. NFL- Abolish all anti-celebration rules and put a game in the middle of the week.

Usually batters don't, but i've seen them do it a few times.I could care less about the rules I guess. Some are gay, but i'll keep it the same because if you take a rule out, or add one, maybe you'd ruin the sport some how. So even though I disagree with some things, i'll just keep it the same.Also, Redskin fans, shut up. Quit complaining about there being bad refs at your games. UND hockey team has shitty refs that seem to be going against them every home game, but instead of crying, we just play through and dominate the opponent still.

 

[GotSkillz92]

When the redskins lose in the playoffs its going to be because of the Refs. Quote me on this.

 

[PurplePeopleEaters]

NFL- Change the overtime rule so that it isn't sudden death. That works in a sport like hockey because you can go a whole game without scoring. Imagine if there were sudden death in basketball? It's the same way for football. The overtime needs to be more like the college OT when teams each start on the 25. Much better system in my opinion. NBA- Enforce traveling better. Kind of like a rule change like the NFL did with pass interference. Just make the refs realize it more. MLB- Get rid of the DHNHL- No need to change anything. The NHL is perfect! Speaking of I just got my Carolina Hurricanes stanley cup champions DVD. I just watched game 7 all over again. Sent chills down my spine. World Cup- Get rid of offsides.

From what I've seen on TV, it's rewarding teams who don't get back on defense.

 

[chang]

NFL: Only officials can decide plays in the last 2 minutes of each half.CHANGE TO: Coach's challenge valid all game.NBA: The off-ball intentional is only a foul until the last 2 minutes of a half.CHANGE TO: Off-ball intentional is always free throws and possession.MLB: AL DH.CHANGE TO: Both leagues DH.Soccer: Off-sides.CHANGE TO: Only off-sides on passes longer than 15-20 feet.

 

[GotSkillz92]

Taking away Offsides in soccer will be like a Center staying on the other side of the court. His team gets the rebound and just keeps on throwing it to the center. Easy points and it makes the game less interesting and cheesey.

Baltimore vs. Redskins will be the Super Bowl. Battle of the Beltway!

 

[Nebkreb]

allow baseball pitchers to retaliate, and make the warning.too often, team A hits Team B batter, both sides are warned. So Team B cannot respondwithout getting ejected and suspended for 5 days

 

[GaMeTiMe]

NFL - Agreed on the whole overtime thing. Don't make it sudden death where the coin flip is almost as important as the actual game. I want to see a team get a chance to strike back after the other team scores.MLB - Again, agree with the beanball stuff. Back in the day if you threw too far inside on a team's star player, the very next time YOUR star player got up he'd be drilled in the head. That's a bit harsh, but baseball needs some flavor and attitude that it's currently lacking.NBA - Some of the fouls that are caused are ridiculous. If contact is made and it completely screws up a guy's shot, then you should call it. But an NBA game takes way too long because everytime a guy drives a lane SOMEONE is going to be called for the foul.

 

[chang]

On a revision of the overtime thing, maybe...1. Coin flip2. Kick-off3a. If Team A scores on first drive, then Team B gets a Kick-off3b1. If Team B doesn't score on the first drive, they punt with sudden death.3bb2. If Team B doesn't score on the first drive, they can choose for the other team to start from the same spot on the other side of the field and with sudden death.4a. (if 3a happened) If Team B doesn't score, Team A wins.4b. If Team B scores, than the same sequence keeps repeating until someone doesn't score.
