re: If you could change one rule in one of the three major sports, what would it be?

Not a rule change per se, but I'd like to see better enforcement of the traveling violation in basketball.

NBA - Charging: I think it's dumb that as long as a defender "beats" a guy to the lane and plants his feet it's an offensive foul. I've seen multiple instances where a guy is taking off from just outside the paint on a lay-up, and because the defender "beat" him to the spot and is outside of the restricted area, he gets the favorable call. What exactly is the offensive player supposed to do? Shapeshift out of the way? He's in mid air.

Can we get a brain for the guy who thinks that the call on the field was the correct one.

To answer the question from the OP
I would say that the replay policy in NFL games should be to make the call on the field hold no value in determining the play.
The call on the field is a judgment call. Why is it not ok to make a judgment call with the benefit of replay?

I agree with you.

I'd move the Astros back into the NL and contract the Brewers cause FU*K Bud Selig.

Kind of like the "running into the kicker" rule is to the roughing the kicker, id have a five yard penalty and no automatic first down version of the roughing the passer rule when it's obvious that some incidental contact was made by the defenders hands to the passers helmet.

Agree.

If anything, the DH rule needs to also be implemented in the NL. I get no enjoyment out of watching pitchers bat.

So you can't just foul every time on defense with no consequence?
It's the one track mindset, because it's always been that way, you can't think of it being any other way.
NFL Olineman can hold every snap if they want, should they institute a rule that says 3 holds and you're out of the game?

quote:Until you get in the bonus with 8:30 to play in a quarter and every foul is 2 shots.
So the strategy would be to foul on every high percentage shot
The numbers favor the defense in that scenario
Then the offense gains the favor.

First things first I'm not for eliminating fouling out, I was just responding to a couple of direct posts.
When does any nba team allow a dunk or layup without contesting or fouling now without that rule?
