Just placing the ball at the 20 would eliminate the onsides kick. That would be a loss. Comebacks would be kneecapped.

The kickoff returns have always been dangerous, hence the term "suicide squad". However, today's players are at least as fast and much, much bigger.

I think touchbacks and returns should yield the same number of commercials, one each.

Years ago, The Hulu Bowl had a rule where in the second half, if the trailing team scored a touchdown, the other team would have to kick off to them.

I've always wondered what football would be like if they adopted the rule that a team scoring a touchdown would retain possession, until the opposing team stops them.
