Drop kick goal in rugby shouldn't be worth 3 points. Should be two points and maybe even only one.

CFL - A single point awarded to the kicking team if a punt or missed field goal attempt is not run out of the end zone by the receiving team..

one point for trying, welcome to Canada...

Pass Interference in Pro Football, I hate the fact that someone can just heave it up there and if the DB touches the WR they will gain 60 yards. Should be 15 yards max IMO.

Also in basketball. Bring Hand Checking back. You can't even touch a player with the ball anymore. Makes it a pussy sport. Bring back the good ol days

Both NFL & CFL can be Tied after OT. Crazy. I say play until there's a winner just like in the MLB.

NHL overtime--scrap it. Let the shootout decide the winner thru and thru in the regular season...but sudden death overtime in the playoffs only.

Giving a point for an overtime or shootout loss should be scrapped as well. Give the two points to the winner and move on.

In college basketball, eliminate coaches being able to call timeout during play. The players on the court are the ones who determine the outcome, so let them be the only ones to call time outs. That way, there won't be an issue like there was in the Syracuse game a while back....there can be too many lose ball controversies, however, eliminating that feature makes the players that much more involved in the game. Get rid of coaches calling TO.
