Restoring the NFL, what would you do?

If I was an NFL Communist:

Reduce commercials. I'd rather watch the onfield activity during timeouts than another painful volley of Toyota or Sprint advertisements. Remember the 70's and the two-commercials-interims?
Stay with one set of uniforms. It is getting out of control with some teams. And totally trash the Browns' current theme. It's bad enough they are collegiate caliber talent. They don't have to look the part.
NFL preview shows: Don't get me started. I say only one hour for each show. Cover every single game going on with equal respectable depth, not just the "marquee" two or three games that get the spotlight. And cut down on the number of analysts from eighteen to maybe two or three. Do we need the population of Rhode Island 'discussing' metrics and strategies? ......and so on.
Rookie salary caps. Prove your worth before you take your $$$ to the hospice.
Stadiums. Stop trying to make stadiums bigger than the Jones's (not Jerry, ut ita dicam).
All apologies to other nations, but keep the NFL in America. If other nations want to see American style football, they reserve the right to form leagues of their own.
Five yards and a first down for PI calls.
I'm not bitter, but playing Frogger over the center to block field goals has to go.

Oh we do have football leagues most everywhere in the world now. Its not really like European fans were begging the NFL to come, the NFL saw the business opportunity and went for it. Personally I'd rather se them start NFL Europe again instead of the London games.
The NFL needs a development league.

Crusader,
Not sure if you already read this but I thought it was worth sharing.

NFL owners, coaches say a developmental league is needed and here's what's brewing - CBSSports.com
