(FOUR) ELIMINATE LAME RULES
In recent years it seems that the rules of the NFL have become pretty damn pussified. It’s set up now where if you hit someone the wrong way you’re penalized. The tackles suck. The flags are a plenty. The barbaric vibe of football has been wrung out. I know that sounds bad, but these guys KNOW they’re playing a contact sport. They know what they’re getting into. Isn’t this why they’re paying them hundreds of millions of dollars?
(THREE) SHORTER PLAY CLOCK/FASTER PACE
The game clock and time in between snaps is just too long. They should incorporate a “24 second pass clock”. Hell, I wouldn’t be against a play clock as to where they must not only snap the ball in that time, but also make their play. How about they eliminate the 2 minute warning AND end zone changes? That’s probably too weird. I just want an NFL Blitz style of game.
(TWO) ALTERNATE AUDIO
I get tired of watching certain games really quickly because of how much I dislike the announcers. The announcers seem to cling on to sweet talking the big quarterbacks like Rogers, Brady, Favre(he’ll be back), Brady, any Manning including Danny, and all of the other top tier guys. It’s like they have crushes on them and have a quote of a facts and compliments they have to fill during the broadcast. I’d like to be able to have the choice to hear local commentators, away commentators, guest commentators, hear the game from the mouth and ears of the quarterback or coach, etc. etc. etc. There are tons of little tweaks here that I think will probably be explored before too long.
(ONE) MORE GAMES
16 games? Screw that. I know it’s more than that. Teams will have a few preseason games too, but how often do they even play their good players? It’s scrubs and bench guys fighting for roster life. It’s 16 games. Then if you make play offs all you have to do is win three or four games and you get to go to Disney World. It’s stupid. To crown a champion among these millionaire athletes after playing less than two dozen games is insulting to anyone who competes at well… anything. They could extend the season by AT LEAST four or even eight games. Start the season in August and end it in late January. Then the Superbowl can be right before March Madness.
