Now to get rid of that pesky DH nonsense.

as long as we’re talking about dumping dumb sports rules, how about that ridiculous college and high school overtime in football; do what the NFL currently does...I was at a high school game recently which ended at 14-14; after 4 OT’s the score wound up 42-39, an absurd score, given the overall defensive efforts, as well as a physically arduous process...in the NFL, in OT, there’s a kickoff, as normal, and as long as the defending team doesn’t give up a TD right off the bat, the rules basically revert to sudden death...

slight correction; as long as the defending team forces a punt, the rules revert to sudden death; if a FG is made on the opening drive, then it’s the first team to six points...and as long as we’re talking FG’s, how about a sliding point scale, depending on how far the team has penetrated the defense...? four points if the LOS is inside the ten yard line, three for a LOS 11-23, two for 24-32, and one point for any LOS 33 and further...
