    Wider hash marks.. like the old days... makes for cool formations and sweet field goals.. like way wider.

    weed is legal.. its not performance enhancing.  The olympic commitee doesnt even test for it.  These guys destroy themselves weekly.

    no touchbacks.. have to run it out.

    Smaller rosters..maybe encourage playing both ways.

    reduce equipment somehow to eliminate injurious play. 

    No more point of infraction PI.  15 yards max.

    Any other ideas?

    Is your league trying to one up the NFL for concussions?

    I would probably stick with basic NFL rules  (but...no, I would have touchbacks)   In fact, I would make it an NFL minor/feeder league:

    A.  I would allow players to come into the league out of high school....like MLB and NHL......but I would not allow them to "graduate" to the NFL level until they are  2 years out of high school.  

    B.  I would have a 16 team league......one feeder team for each NFL team. 

    C. I would target the following cities for teams:  Portland Or.  Sacramento, San Diego, San Antonio, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Columbus, Memphis, Orlando, Raleigh, Norfolk, Louisville, Hartford, Oklahoma City, Birmingham.

    One other concept I may consider in conjunction with the  creation of the "minor league"  teams I have proposed above:

    RELEGATION.

    Every year, the two NFL teams with the worst record would be relegated to have to play in the new "Minor League". 

    Of course, the two teams that are elevated to the major league status, would have to give up their players that are less than 2 years in.....but that would be a minor sacrifice to make. 

    There would be NO MORE  "Sucking for Luck" by NFL teams.    For a team to elevated,  it would have to, of course,  be one of the teams with the two best records in that league....or  be the two teams that play in the Championship game.

    I am sure there would have to be a number of conditions involved....regarding player contracts etc.    The English Premier League would have to be looked at as a model for relegation/elevation rules.

    Just a lot of people with broken jaws, noses and knocked out cold, ever see pictures of those dudes?

    No more snapping ammonia smelling salts and sending them back in.....like when I was in high school in the 1960s.

    I believe it is 150ng/mL which is pretty heavy usage.  From what I have read.  My facts are somewhat old as cannabinoids are slowly being added to drug lists... but no one has lost a medal or been banned.. one guy lost his medal but win it back on appeal.  

    Must be the snowboarders lol

    Or maybe the most penalized team gets the ball?

    We'll call it the old Raiders' Rule. 😆
