Your task is to fix each major (or minor) sport with ONE rule change. Here's mine: HOCKEY (NHL): 3 points for a win. I'm not even explaining this one. Judas Priest, 2 points for a win and 1 for a tie is bullshit. SOCCER: If the match has to be stopped for an injury and you have to leave the pitch you cannot come back on for 10 minutes. This rolling around and limping off malarkey only to sprint back on needs to go. BASKETBALL (NBA): A ball should not magically move to half court at the end of the game. I know it makes it more exciting but you have to have some damn sporting principles, too. BASEBALL (MLB): Once you step into the batter's box, and the pitcher steps on the rubber there ain't no stepping out for either party to adjust nut sacks. I don't care if killer bees swarm either area, pitch the ball and get on with the damn game. COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Fix this charging bullshit. 6'11" players should not be falling over at a little contact by a point guard driving the lane. They should be encouraged to challenge shots not fall to the floor. FOOTBALL (NFL): Take a cue from rugby...you gotta plant the damn ball in the end zone. What is this horseshit where you can hike the ball and hold it halfway over the goal line and act like you planted a flag on the moon. Fix this nonsense. A touchdown should be I came, I saw, I conquered.
