If you could change one rule
In any major sport. What would it be? At the moment for me it would be replay for baseball.

I'd eliminate the powerplay in hockey. Its not the way hockey was meant to be played.

Let them hit each other in football like they used to without throwing a flag on everything.

NFL spot of foul pass interference. Should go to the college 15 yards, sick of watching intentional under throws and iffy calls result in 50 yard gains.

Take the Instigator rule out of hockey and let the players police themselves.


Sorry guess that's two.

Either get rid of the DH rule or add it to both leagues. Used to be a big fan of it growing up in an AL city, moved to NL city after college and didn't care for it at the time. Now just think it should be the same in both leagues whichever way....

Two or three on the field at the same time would make it alot more intersting

All good ones mentioned so far, and this is the one I would choose if you want to increase scoring in soccer:

Take away OFFSIDES in soccer

Not a sports but I just found out tonight watching te WSOP that if you have the Nuts after the river and are last to act you have to bet or it's a penalty. It's supposed to prevent collusion. I don't know why anyone wouldn't bet other than to see what the other person has, but that seems silly.

In major sports I would go with the dropped 3rd strike rule. Just wastes time and it serves no purpose
