As we all know, we have become action and adrenaline junkies.

Therefore, i believe we need some refreshing of rules, action action action.

To that end i offer a couple ideas, you guys take it from there.

First, in baseball, the only way a pitcher can get a strike on a batter is to actually hit him with the ball, that should perk up that old game.

As for the combat sports, whether boxing or mma, just before the start of each round, the lights are turned out, and the audience has been given night vision goggles, but not the fighters.

as for hockey, no sticks.

Just a couple ideas.:cheesygrin:

    Now that would be entertaining !!!!!!
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    In Grand Prix racing, I've always felt that encouraging animals to wander across the track would add a bit of excitement to the sport (for the animals,too). Win/Win.

    Professional golfers and tennis players should have to play with flaming, kerosene soaked rags in all their pockets.

    Beach volleyball with anti-personnel mines on the court. Nope, games would be too short. Make that punji sticks right below the sand.

    Mika Hakkinen actually hit a ground hog with the front wing of his Mclaren during practice in Montreal and it had some serious air time.

    - In basketball, the rim should be raised 6 feet and rim resized to county fair regulations.
    - In baseball there should be 1 single base placed in the center of left field. Singles would be almost impossible.
    - In football, after every touchdown, the cheerleaders should engage in an all out orgy. That would really get the fans going!
    - Hockey...is no longer a sport :cry: Damn you CBA!!!
    - Finally, soccer. The ball should be rigged with explosives that detonate when headbutted.

    - Olympic Swimming, throw Piranha's in the pool. All of Phelps records would be smashed.
    - Women's Water Polo...I just don't see a need for them to wear swimsuits.
    - Women's Diving...see my comment above about swimsuits.
    - Women's Beach Volleyball...once again, the swimsuit comment.
    No excuses!

    Switch the Nascar oval, to a figure 8, then pack the front bumpers with C-4:eek:
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    In basketball, if you miss a dunk, a trapdoor opens under the rim and swallows the player up.
    My humble setup...

    ...is no more. :cry:

    To Strong Bad's most excellent swimming suggestions, we should add suitless Women's Synchronized Swimming (although they're 2/3's of the way there already).

    Maybe combine women's synchronized swimming with Olympic wrestling; add Jello to the pool and we'd have Women's Synchronized Jello Wrestling. That would be a sport I'd pay to watch !
