What would you do if you had the power to change one thing in the NFL? I posed the question to you. Personally, my biggest idea (well, other than a national holiday following Super Bowl Sunday, which would totally work if you added a bye week to push the big game to President's Day weekend) is this: Rivalry weekend.
That's right, no interdivision games during the first three weeks of the season, and Week 4 is open with teams playing their biggest rivals. Packers vs. Bears; Cowboys vs. Redskins; Steelers vs. Ravens. That would be cool.
But as I asked you the question via Twitter, here were some of my favorite responses.
@adamrank @nfl put the kick off back to the original spot.I want entertaining kickoff returns.

Devin Hester, everybody.
@adamrank @nfl All replays decided by another official either in the booth or off-site.Why does somebody need to run to the sidelines?

I don't agree with this, because Thursday Night Football is awesome, but I'm willing to let everybody be heard.
@adamrank @nfl Get rid of the "process". If you catch the ball and have control with two feet in its a catch. The process sucks.

Spoken on behalf of Dallas Cowboys fans.
@adamrank @nfl staggered start times so games aren't at halftime simultaneously. Like march madness

@adamrank if I were elected president of the @nfl I would moves the Rams back to Los Angeles.

How'd that sneak in there?
@adamrank @nfl I would make it illegal for espn or nfl network to cover any stories on Tim Tebow until he actually does something

Good one!
@adamrank @nfl easy....an amnesty clause...call it the Jamarcus Russell Rule.

Like it!
@adamrank @nfl The winning team would receive punch and pie at the end of games and the losing team would be forced to watch them eat it
— Michael Schaefer (@MSchaefer79) November 6, 2012
That's a good place to call it.
Don't stop here, keep them coming!
