    Re: Name any 5 things you would change in the sports world

    There is only one thing I'd like to change right now and that's the salaries people are making in sports. You really mean to tell me someone deserves millions of dollars to play a friggin' game??? Especially considering there are people in the real world who work much tougher jobs that have to scrape by day in and day out to live? It's a complete and utter joke.

    Salaries in sports are way out of control and need to be seriously toned down....no more millionaires.

      5 - Make it only one week between the Conference Championships and the Superbowl: I hate media week. It's even more painful if your a fan of one of the Superbowl teams. I felt it this year with the Bears. Just play the damn game

      4 - Get rid of the 3 divisions in each conference in the NBA: Makes no sense at all. Pro basketball is not a divisional sport since everyteam plays everyteam at least twice a year. The old 2 division format was perfect.

      3 - Implement a salary cap in baseball: Far too long you see the same ole' teams every year in the playoffs. Big time free agents move from the small market teams to huge markets almost every year. Either eliminate some of these teams or install a salary cap within baseball financial rules. Not a hard one like football but the soft cap like basketball.

      2 - Remove the factor of determining the home field advantage in the World Series by who wins the all-star game: Absolutley the dumbest idea from one of the dumbest commissioners in sports. Relying on other team's players to get me home field advantage is unfair to the team that actually gets there.

      1 - Implement a 8 team College Football Playoff: Something that's long overdue.

        I've thought of that one before and think it would be a great change. At least make the offense get a first down in order to kick a field goal.

              I don't have 5 but number one would have to be adding a playoff in division 1 football.

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                1. NCAA Division 1-A football playoff with a 10 game season with no dissing mid-majors
                2. Bring ties back to NCAA football and NHL and eliminate points for losses in overtime
                3. No more DH in AL
                4. Expand NCAA basketball tournament to 68 teams (four play-in games for the top seeds), and have the NIT winner play the NCAA winner.
                5. Bring sports teams to Las Vegas in all of the big 4.

                  lol... I know it says no matter how crazy, but I want to know WHY you want 3 MORE teams in the NCAA tournament. And, more importantly, WHY you think the NIT winner could compete with the NCAA winner.

                    Replace all the referees in EVERY sport.

                    Ban flopping/acting/charging/blocking fouls, by dishing out severe penalties.

                    Get rid of all multi-year contracts, and guaranteed money. Make players play hard every damn year. Instead of a multi-year contract, you can have player's rights, to prevent bouncing around every year.

                    That's all I want for now.

                      1. End free agency and salary cap in the NFL
                      2. Have a 16 team playoff in college football
                      3. Eliminate the wild card in MLB. Contract the league and eliminate the two extra divisions.
                      4. Change the minimum age for draft eligibility to the NBA
                      5. Banish the DH.

                        Players play out their contract. No renegotiating half way through a contract.

                          Eliminate the BCS
                          MLB Salary Cap (the game's excitement level would raise substantially)
                          Get the "Thug Out" of the NBA (it's killing the sport, one season at a time)
                          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                            No reporting about Boston or New York teams. Only scores for those teams, NO TALKING ABOUT THEM!

                            That is all I want.

                              And on that note, no teams cutting players in the middle of their contracts.
