  1. Lift the ban on endzone dances
  2. Establish universal standard scoring settings for fantasy football
  3. Make public transit to the game the easiest thing in the universe
  4. Price discount for people who wear the home team’s home jersey to the game
  5. Have more fun at the expense of people who wear the visiting team’s jersey to the game
  6. More stadium traditions akin to the Bleacher Creature Roll Call
  7. “Happy Hour” drink & concession stand specials for people who get to the game early
  8. Move all All-Star Games to the end of the season. Get rid of World Series homefield BS. Teams drafted pickup style like NHL
  9. More on-field/uniform ads, less TV timeouts
  10. Sports crossover All-Star Games (ie, NL vs. NFC in a game of basketball)
  11. Fix the NFL’s field goal/last-second-timeout disaster. Preferably, before somebody gets injured on a play that didn’t count
  12. No kicking in the NFL All-Star game
  13. Less kicking in the NFL, in general
  14. You can only introduce a new jersey for your team once per decade
  15. Do anything to fix the NBA Hall of Fame because it’s a complete trainwreck disaster
  16. Space Jam 2
  17. The Soundtrack to Space Jam 2
  18. Every copy of Sandlot 2 and 3 buried in a massive landfill
  19. Anyone suspected of doing steroids in baseball can’t be elected to the Hall of Fame. Instead, they may be elected to the Hall of Phlegm
  20. Smaller MLB bullpens, more instances of position players having to pitch an inning
  21. Zambonis that can be used to clean/wax basketball courts during intermissions, too
  22. No more overtime losses that count as 1 point in hockey. No more shootouts at the end of tied games, either
  23. At the end of the NHL Postseason, the Scott Niedermayer Trophy for the player with that spring’s best playoff beard
  24. Salary cap loopholes/provisions so that it’s easier for teams to keep tenured players / All-Stars seeking paydays / Lebron James
  25. NHL Skills Competition events for fighters, too
  26. I have no idea what channel the Versus Network is; why can’t I set my DirecTV so that it’s always channel 3 (or whatever)?
  27. Related: Kill the Versus Network
  28. Sports league commissioners are tenured the same way we tenure our President: four year terms, two terms max, entry by popular vote
  29. Related: Don’t publicize the fact that voter turnout for sports commissioner elections will probably be higher than that of presidential elections
  30. Jesus Christ allow NFL and MLB clips on Youtube already
