You've just been named NFL commissioner

[chiefzilla1501]

What are your sweeping changes? Go!

[Hootie]

Strip the Patriots of their three Super Bowls for blatant cheating

[Canofbier]

"You've just been named NFL commissioner."

"Shit."

[Jim Lahey]

Negate every move Goodell has made during his tenure. Then ban that ****er for life.

[Fishpicker]

Look for new helmet designs/cancel the sweetheart deal Riddel has w/ NFL.

[Buehler445]

Concussion Waivers.
Cancel Thursday night football.
Depussify the game.

Buy a new combine, because, I will be making BANK.

My list:
Cut down on the list of penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct. Take out all the bullshit subjectivity -- don't use props, no orchestrated group celebrations, don't dunk through the uprights. Easy.

Take away Thursday night football. Owners love it, the fans hate it, the players hate it, the coaches hate it.

Take away that ****ing London game. If you want international presence, handle that shit in the preseason. Given how critical homefield advantage is for teams and a short 16-game schedule, every game matters

Scrap Goodell's stupid ass personal conduct policy and start fresh. Lay down hard & fast rules about clear-cut violations, cut out the ability to negotiate down your punishment, and leave some flexibility to deal with behavior that has more gray area

Stop bowing down to fantasy football and bring football back to purity. Loosen up rules on defensive holding. Make clear rules to limit pick plays. Find some way to stop the ridiculous third and long situations turning into first downs because of a 5-yard illegal contact penalty.

Change overtime rules to what they did in the playoffs last year. Sudden death is such a ****ing stupid idea

Make the extra point harder by moving it back. This was a great idea

All of these. I totally forgot about the London game bull****ingshit.

None, since the commissioner can't really make any without the owners approving it.

New Divisions:

NFC WEST
SEATTLE
SAN FRAN
SAN DIEGO
OAKLAND

AFC WEST
ARIZONA
ST. LOUIS
DENVER
KC

There is no penalty for excessive celebration.

The Draft will be held over two days - Rounds 1-2 on Saturday. Rounds 3-7 on Sunday.

We will offer options on commentary. You can listen to the regular broadcast as well as a broadcast with no commentary (there will be intermittent ads on this broadcast).

The Pro Bowl will be eliminated. We'll just release the names of the guys who were selected to the pro bowl. We'll have a skills competition in Hawaii AFTER the super bowl.

No more of this ridiculous illegal hands to the face nonsense.

No more of this ridiculous "hitting the QB in the head" nonsense.

No more of this ridiculous "hitting the QB in the knees" nonsense.

1. Move the draft back to April where it belongs. Rookies are expected to contribute right way, so holding the draft in May is stupid.

2. Eliminate Thursday night football.

3. Allow a third network to broadcast Sunday NFL games or put a game on the NFL channel.

4. At the end of the season create a discipline committee, which appoints members to a disciplinary board. Owners elect five members, players association elects five members, and has a chair person who is appointed by the commissioner who only votes in case of a tie.

5. Cap the compensation of the commissioner and other league officials. Gooddell's salary is ridiculous.

6. Expand the active rosters to 53 members.

7. Allow practice squads players not to have to pass through waivers at the start of the season. Teams could still sign another teams PS player if they want, this allows a team to keep a developmental player is they really want to.

Bull
****ing
shit

Tagliabue wasn't a shill for the owners. And many of those ideas were undoubtedly Goodell's sold in to owners.

Also good ideas.

[Buehler445]

Yeah, **** the pro bowl. Just list the all-stars.
