    Okay. I'd like to include Boston, Detroit, NYR and Chicago, though...

      I'd say not even football could make a chicken on a motorcycle interesting...

        Instead of or in addition to a penalty box / sidelining / ejection, have "Punishment Lanes" which are lined by the worst hooligan fans of each team. Have the offender run through while the hooligans take their best shots at them.




        The more egregious / multiple offenders take multiple laps.

          Bah, you uncouth barbarian.

          I can't tell what is worse, curling or cricket?

            someone has to do all-terrain croquet, makes the game actually fun (especially when you play it in a friend's back yard that his dog's dug huge holes in)...

              curling is not a sport.

                The only things that would make croquet interesting is explosive tipped mallets and the ability to strike balls directly at opposing players.

                  I'd improve soccer no end (for me at least) by ensuring that Sheffield Wednesday win at least one match in the season.

                    i'd make the salaries for players have a reasonable maximum.

                    the state should tax the sports industry heavily

                        Yeah, and this weekend they lost 3-1 to Sheffield United, a team that they would have whupped into the middle of next week two seasons ago. Their rapid demise often leaves me feeling somewhat...empty.

                          I would judiciously divide the Real Madrid roster amongst various MLS teams in an attempt to make American soccer watchable. There's nothing worse than watching second-rate Nigerians dominate your domestic league...

                            NBA and baseball should both have shorter seasons, like they have for football. What I really think would make baseball better would be to have something like a "shot clock" for baseball limiting the time the pitcher has before he can pitch.

                              The only way to salvage the watchability of the NBA would be to mandate violence. And have people lined up around the sides launching tennis balls at the players.

                              Oh hell, who am I kidding? There's no hope for the NBA.
