(And has it occured to you yet that I really like that title?)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=16661\">Orange County restaurants shut down by health inspectors (June 11-18)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The readers were asked last month what they would change in sports if they had the authority to do so. In Friday\u2019s paper we relayed some of their suggestions for fixing baseball (including some things that might not really need fixing). Today, we tackle the NFL and NBA. In Tuesday\u2019s editions we\u2019ll cover everything else.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong> Readers react: How they\u2019d change Major League Baseball<\/p>\n<p>Many of the responses regarding the NFL involve the rules and their effect (or lack of same) on player safety. It is, to be sure, a violent sport and has gotten even more brutal.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Arntz of Laguna Niguel noted: \u201cBlocking and tackling seem to be a thing of the past in the NFL replaced by smashing and grabbing. Tackling used to be grabbing your opponent and forcing him to the ground, now it\u2019s body smashing and head butting to the body or worse to the upper shoulder and head, or grabbing his face mask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHead butting and mask grabbing should carry an immediate penalty of time off (the) field, automatic first down and maybe extra yards. The definition of what constitutes a tackle needs to be redefined because the way it is now many tackles are nothing more than full body smashes at high speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Arntz suggests that fumbles \u201cshould be called as downs at the point of the fumble. No turnovers.\u201d Interceptions would be considered turnovers \u201cif the ball is caught in the air, not after the offense has clear possession of the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m sure that old-school football people could have some issues with this, as well as his next suggestion: \u201cStop playing football games in snowstorms and heavy rainstorms.\u201d That would likely involve putting domes on a lot of stadiums in the Northeast that don\u2019t already have them.<\/p>\n<p>I can guess the reaction, especially among those who live in those cold climates and consider a ticket stub of a game played in a snowstorm as a badge of honor.<\/p>\n<p>There also seems to be agreement, among this audience at least, that the league\u2019s (i.e. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell\u2019s) international obsession is going too far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet rid of international games,\u201d George Conlisk wrote. \u201cThey\u2019re awful and who\u2019s watching them at 5 a.m. (on the West Coast)? I\u2019m sure all players and coaches hate them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, there\u2019s this alternate view: \u201cIf a Euro league is ever created, make it a true secondary league with everything the same as we see in the NFL,\u201d Marc Levine wrote. And if a team stinks for a couple of years in a row, he wrote, \u201crelegate them to the Euro league and promote the Euro league winner to the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I think the European fans would go for that. As for, say, Jets or Cardinals fans, maybe not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Goeken of Newport Beach suggested that field goals should be valued at two or even one point, and extra-point tries should always be from scrimmage. \u201cWho wants to see a chip shot after every TD?\u201d he wrote. Meanwhile, Jeff Perkins of Huntington Beach wrote that instead of an onside kick \u2013 which is no longer a surprise thanks to the new kickoff rule \u2013 a trailing team that is successful on a two-point conversion in the final minute would get the ball back on their own 20.<\/p>\n<p>(But shouldn\u2019t that be the other team\u2019s 20, perhaps? <em>That<\/em> would certainly add to the late-game suspense.)<\/p>\n<p>Tad Ludes would make pass interference penalties 15 yards, as in college, rather than a spot foul. And he would have teams kick off from their 30-yard line, rather than the 35. (Then again, Conlisk said he\u2019d prefer to \u201chave somebody explain (the) kickoff rule because nobody understands it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Tom Pence of Huntington Beach would outlaw tinted visors on helmets. \u201cThe players should be able to read the eyes of other players, and to hide behind a darkly tinted visor takes away the opponent\u2019s ability to do that,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the NBA. And maybe the first order of business should be \u2026 uniforms?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve gotten so deep into the marketing aspect of what players wear \u2013 thanks, Nike! \u2013 that you can turn on a televised game and, if you don\u2019t already know, have no idea which team is the home team. Mario Palladini would change that by returning to making white (or light) uniforms for the home team and dark for the visiting team mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=16660\">Corky: Orange County surfers dominate 2026 hall of fame induction, including Courtney Conlogue<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you watch the Lakers, they wear their gold uniforms more on the road than they do at home,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe playoffs (are) the same way. They have the opposite, dark at home and white on the road. Just stick with the old method that has worked and works for college teams, high school, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(At least for the final two games of the NBA Finals, the home team did wear white. I suppose that\u2019s progress. But as the self-proclaimed Commissioner of Everything, I would limit alternate uniforms in all sports \u2013 and ban them if they\u2019re especially garish, like those Padres City Connects of the last couple of years. Sell them at the souvenir stands but keep them away from the game itself.)<\/p>\n<p>But most of the response from our Assistant Commissioners regarding NBA games involves the way certain rules have been liberalized (i.e., ignored).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEliminate the so-called \u2018euro step,\u2019\u201d\u00a0Mark Diamond wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s obviously traveling. \u2026 Instruct referees to call palming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would enforce the rule against traveling, or simply drop the rule and let players run without dribbling,\u201d Pence wrote. \u201cTo watch players take 3 or 4 or even 5 steps without dribbling, with no traveling called, is beyond infuriating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, as Conlisk observed, \u201cSince Michael Jordan came on the scene the refs don\u2019t call traveling. Have the refs start calling that penalty because at time it looks like they are running like a football back versus a basketball player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other potential fixes: Goeken would widen the floor, extend the 3-point line further from the basket, eliminate the center jump and increase the number of officials, \u201cmaybe put two in great spots in the stands who can override floor calls. How can the ref under the basket watch for calls right in front of him involving 7\u20195\u201d players? If you\u2019re watching the upper body, you can\u2019t see what\u2019s happening below.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Are there too many 3-point attempts? The analytics folks don\u2019t think so, but this subset of average fans tends to think so. Ludes would extend the 3-point arc to eliminate the corner threes. Perkins would count the 3-point shot only in the final minute of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Other changes: Steve Geary of Corona del Mar would eliminate fouling out in both pro and college basketball, with a player\u2019s current disqualifying foul not removing him from the game but giving the other team two free throws and possession. \u201cThat way, there is still a significant penalty, but fans aren\u2019t deprived of seeing star players finish the game,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>And how about the court itself? \u201cThe players are too big for the court they play on,\u201d wrote Dana Roth of Pasadena, who suggested that rather than making the court bigger the sport instead reduce the number of players on the floor to four rather than five.<\/p>\n<p>Roth also says he\u2019s \u201cnot a fan\u201d of the NBA\u2019s 24-second clock, and thinks the college length of 30 seconds \u201cseems much more reasonable and might help reduce the current \u2018street fight\u2019 that seems to be the norm in the NBA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marc Levine would \u201crevisit the dimensions of the court. Lengthen it, widen it and raise the rim. By default, modify the lane and free throw line accordingly and shot clock accordingly. The players are just too big and cover just too much court. (James) Naismith didn\u2019t invent the game with 6\u20196\u201d point guards, 7\u2019 wings and 7\u2019+ centers in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Jones, meanwhile, would raise the baskets to 12 feet, and also would fine players for \u201cpushing and shoving\u201d and for questioning referees. I just want to know where all this fine money would go.<\/p>\n<p>Other rule changes and tweaks: Diamond would get rid of the possession arrow in college basketball and would \u201creward the team that created the held ball\u201d with possession. He\u2019d also prohibit a team inbounding at midcourt from passing into the backcourt, to reward the defense \u201cfor creating the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Tim Bowman and Doug Dunlap both take aim at another irritant by eliminating all timeouts in the last two minutes. Bowman puts it this way: \u201cIf you\u2019re often behind the last two minutes, score more points earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Dunlap, noting the elongated nature of close games because of those timeouts, wrote: \u201cI record games so I can zoom through all the timeouts \u2026 (and) of course the reviews, which are endless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=16658\">Fire flares up again at Boyle Heights cold-storage facility; shelters opened<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have a fix for that, too.
