And if you were knocked unconscious, they'd have to leave you on the ice until the period was over.Tonushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082528970434639776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-20502509144348949282008-01-14T22:17:00.000-08:002008-01-14T22:17:00.000-08:00Why stop at icing?

You are not allowed to defend yourself in any way.<BR/><BR/>In the World Cup, if you foul someone, you are ejected for the rest of the tournament. If you score an own goal, you get gunned down in a drive-by when you get back to your home country.

Every defensive foul in the NBA gives the offensive team posession of the ball, and a shot from the 3-pt line, for the next 24 seconds, is worth 30 points. In baseball, if the umpire determines the pitcher hit a batter intentionally, the next batter gets his first pitch delivered underhand, on a tee or he can toss it up to himself and hit it. His choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-1214845490912647522008-01-14T15:44:00.000-08:002008-01-14T15:44:00.000-08:00Every penalty on the defense in an NFL game should...Every penalty on the defense in an NFL game should automatically advance the ball to the defense's 1 yard line, first and goal.<BR/><BR/>Every penalty on the offense should result in a safety.<BR/><BR/>If his idea were actually implemented, how many games until the first ref gets killed by a crazy player, crazy mob of fans spilling onto the ice, or a combination of the two?
