Re: In My NFL...
In my NFL all regular season games would be played in the U.S. - (or at someone's home field - should Toronto enherit the Bills) instead of the obligatory 1 game in England or 1 game in Mexico. Personally I find it disrespectful to the home teams fans.
In my NFL there would be a minor league system that works.
In my NFL certain college players who desperately need the money for their family but are very young or not really quite ready to play in the NFL could participate in this minor league system - hence they would be able to get paid for their services, but also protect themselves from playing too soon against NFL caliber players.
In my NFL the Super Bowl halftime show would be the best College marching band in the country (as selected by the NFL or NCAA) and the College would receive a significant payment from the NFL. This weird pagentry surrounding some elder rock star on stage for a spliced 10-15 minute set - is just bizarre to me.
In my NFL there would be a new Cap Tag - that I'll call the Hall of Fame Tag. This "tag" would enable teams to keep players past a certain age or (past a number of years they've played with an organization) for more money than would count against the Cap.
For instance since Hines Ward was drafted by the Steelers and has played his entire career with the Steelers we could sign him for $1 million a year, but only 50% of it would count against our cap - or something along those lines. The idea is that if a team can't really pay fair market value for a player that has served them so well over the years - this gives them an extra opportunity (and reason) to keep them. The idea is that we don't see Emmitt Smith finishing in Arizona, Jerry Rice finishing in Denver, Brett Favre finishing in New York.
In my NFL the Pro Bowl would be a special charity event done every year - that both the players and the NFL would foot the bill for. For example next year's Pro Bowl will be played for only the Veterns of our country - and they may not even actually "play" football - it may simply be about sending the NFL's best out to sign autographs and shake hands with people who just want to be close to the game they love.
In my NFL Ownership of a team could be stripped away more easily.
