make a new rule. (Or change an old one.)

I made mine it the extra point thread.

I'd make the refs throw flags when the Seahawks commit pass interference.

Make that yellow rocks and I'll vote for it.

If I were Roger Goddell, I would fire myself.

THE END

Re: You're the commisioner...
 

Adopt a college-style overtime system

Re: You're the commisioner...
 

1) Make all refs full time employees. During the offseason they would attend classes and practice game calling under simulated game conditions. Demand they establish guidelines for recognizing penalties and attempt to minimize different standards for things like pass interference and holding from game to game. Test and evaluate refs and correct or remove refs that don't meet league minimums.

2) Change playoff seeding to give home field advantage to the team with the best regular season record.

3) Change overtime to an entire quarter.

4) Remove "piped in" sound. Real crowd noise is encouraged but no fake noise.

5) Standardize playing fields, including but not limited to, length of grass, amount of watering allowed 24 hours prior to game time. And impose stiff fines upon organizations that violate those standards, up to loss of draft picks for repeat offenders.

6) Hire girls to carry placards, as in boxing matches between rounds, back and forth across the field, during each time out, end of quarter and (if we can fit it in) change of possession.

Just off the top of my head....

Not that I've given it much thought.

If I were Goodell the first thing I would do is step down and agree to be flogged in public at half time in every stadium around the league. Then I would give the Saints 3 first round draft picks to make up for the overreaction during bounty gate. Then I would announce that I have awarded the city of New Orleans permanent home of the Super Bowl.

Presuming that we're not talking about things like public apologies for Bountygate or whatever....

I would reduce the penalty for pass interference to 15 yards and automatic first down instead of the spot foul. It is too easy to throw up a jump ball and hope for a PI with it being called so often these days. At the same time I would also strictly enforce PI rules. If it is a pass interference during the regular season, then it should also be so in the playoffs. And none of this crap where the "physical" defenses get away with PI. The Seahawks, Patriots, 49ers and a couple other teams have a clear advantage because they won't call it on them. Enforce the rules equally for all teams please.
