I would remove defensive pass interference from the game. It’s been abused by offenses, they just throw it up to the guy way down field and if anyone touches him, first down there.
I would also get rid of the QB slide rule so many abuse for extra yards. You have the ball? You can get hit.
I’ll agree on the defensive pass interference, as long as we have it where if it’s over the top egregious holding then that isn’t allowed.
Otherwise the pass game would be dead
Baseball: There is now a gun under second base.
Basketball. Same everything, except you have to dribble the ball with your forehead.
Read that as Baseball and was very concerned
Sports in general need to make it illegal to dive to draw an undeserved penalty (or actually enforce the existing rules)
Or
They need to decrease the penalty for fighting so it doesn't result in an ejection.
One or the other.
Baseball: Strictly timed innings. Take the average time of innings in the last season or two, set that as the time. Inning ends when the time ends. I don't care if it's mid-play, I don't care if the ball's in the air. And no extra innings. Tie game at the end of the 9th inning counts as a mutual loss.
Warhammer 40K: If it's on the table, play it. I don't care if it's a Battletech model, or a can of coke. It's a model, it gets a move, shoot, and melee.
I think Warhammer could be improved with the addition of a cat. You either get a large piece of on unnavigable terrain, or a natural disaster that wreaks havoc... Possibly both in various degrees.
Better yet - each army's player may nominate or provide not more than one cat, to be placed on the board according to Deep Strike rules.
Backcourt violation in Football (also known as Soccer).
In basketball, you must always have two limbs touching the ground when you have the ball, unless you are standing, shooting, or jumping. Why? I don't like basketball and think it would be funny as he'll.
NHL Hockey: Goaltenders eligible for contact if handling the puck outside the crease, and outside the trapezoid. Same as any other players.
Thunderdome rules for MMA. Keep going until there is a sub or knock out. No rounds and no time limit.
