I'd like to see OT operate the same way College OT works.  Both sides get a chance, until the other cannot score.

The college way is the lamest approach ever.  It's like a football's version of the shootout.  Keep sudden death.

1.) Donovan McNabb is fired, and hired by the local dennies as a janitor.  He gets fired in 3 days for sucking so bad no matter where he goes.

2.) Endzone Dances are now legal.  You have 30 seconds to dance, anyone can join who wants to.  At the end of the 30 seconds to dance, the Referees vote on whether your dance was lame.  If it was lame, you don't get a chance to kick a field goal.

1. No domes, no artificial turf. You play outside on real grass.

2. Get rid of video replay challenges. The official makes the call and you move on.

That will make bill polian cry!

Superbowl:

In order to be eligible for superbowl tickets, fans must be able to prove attendance at at least one regular-season game of one of the two competing teams. Pass a law requiring a mandatory paid holiday for any fan holding a superbowl ticket, running from the Thursday before the game to the Tuesday afterwards. Inside the stadium, a two-drink minimum will be strictly enforced.
Corporate fatcats can still have the skyboxes.

Superbowl is played outside, in someplace where the weather is likely to be unpleasant. None of this BS airconditioned/keeping cool down south pampered crap: we get enough of that with the SEC fans crowing about how their teams are the best because they've never played in real football weather. If there's not a good chance of snow, fog, really cold temperatures, driving rain, or other nasty weather, you don't schedule a superbowl there.

Take superbowl back to old days where the teams played at own field....Buffalo would have won at least 3 outta the 4 playing at home in Jan.  Also the game is becoming soft. Years ago they had junk gear and played like animals. This is a contact sport where contact gets you a fine.

The "old" days? How about the "old imaginary" days. The Superbowl has always been played at a neutral site determined before the season starts. It's possible for it to be played at a home team's stadium, but it would be a fluke.

I'm inclined to agree with you to a degree about equiptment & contact. Problem is overall, players are bigger, strongerand faster than they were back in the day. You have to rein it in a bit or it would be a bloody massacre for QB's and recievers.

I sort of like that....

except in some cases (Green Bay Packers) ALL tickets are season tickets. you own them for life, and can even pass them down to immediate relatives.

there is no general sale of tickets for any packer game, though you buy scalped tickets all the time. in a situation like that only the season ticket owner get's a shot at superbowl? or the one who actually went to the game?


the waiting list is something like 140 years for Packer tickets right now

[lasersailor184]

Oh, forgot one.


From now on, all stadiums are superbowl eligible stadiums.  The football players need to grow a pair of balls and realize they may be playing in the snow.

I think he meant back before the Superbowl. The NFL Championship Game and AFL CHampionship game *was* the final championship game ending each season, and they played it at home of the best record.

I think the QB's are overly protected.  I saw too many "In the grasp" calls where there was a fumble but the ball was ruled dead.  I've also seen some rediculous roughing the passer calls this season.

Agreed.  Return the QB position to "football player" status from its current "protected asset" status.

Make field goals >50 yards worth 4 points, and therefore worth attempting.  Tired of lame 25 yard punts.

They still do.

I wish Paul Dungey and Lovie Smith would shut the hell up about the "black bowl".  This is the first time to black head coaches have taken a team to the Super Bowl.  Whoop dee fah-who-gen do!  It's 2007.  I really dont give a watermelon what color the skin on the coach is.  Just show me some good football.

Another thing i'd like to see is an option to Punt on kickoff like after a safety.

[Dace]

If you dont follow football enough to know the head coaches correct names....you shouldnt post on the matter

[Debonair]

Art Monk should be in Canton.
In his day he held just about every NFL receiving record & was in his 7th year of eligibility:mad::furiousi guess michael irvin will go in the OJ LT wing:lol:lolcrack potatos r considered poor taste in some circles, but@least he seems to have (as opposed to his QB) liked women:rofl:rofl

that would really seem to give an uneven advantage to higher "seeded" teams in the playoffs, and actually make them suck IMHO.

Exactly. There should be an advantage to the team that played better during the regular season.

...oh and the higher seeded teams receive this advantage in every playoff game except the superbowl (which already sucks).
