Lots of really good suggestions in here. Some of mine…

Horse collar rule, call it correctly or get rid of it. When a defender has to let a guy run away from him it’s a bad rule.

Taunting rule, so it’s okay for the whole team to run to the endzone and celebrate but when one guy makes a play he’s supposed to turn away from the other team and not talk or celebrate the wrong way. Okay then.

just checked..2005 they changed the rule from assisting the runner forward in any way, to just lifting and carrying the runner or pulling him forward

1. “Group photo” celebrations after big defensive plays.

2. Constantly yelling “LET’S GO!!!!”

3. Booing the Commissioner at the draft.

4. Cris Collinsworh.

5. Players who celebrate first downs and sacks when their team is down by 2+ scores.

Others?

Agree with all except #3. I think booing the current NFL commish is not only the right, but the duty of all Americans:

Meh. Even if you don’t like him (I don’t care enough about him to bother forming an opinion), the draft should be a celebration, not a “protest.”

Visors for Head Coaches....Either wear a Hat or don't wear a Hat, but a visor when it's raining or snowing, seriously? Retire the damn things.

Brady's coming back; his ego won't allow him to retire for long.

Actually, I think it’s the opposite. Unretire once…you’re a passionate player who just can’t walk away. Unretire twice…you’re a punchline about indecisiveness and being a shameless attention seeker. His ego won’t allow the latter to be his legacy.

2 years in a row on Feb 1st I texted my brother...happy Brady retirement Day, since it was his birthday also.... and 2 years in a row he replied "that's a nice present"

well I can't give him the same thing 3 years in a row, so Brady has to stay retired

His ego won't allow the last of his seasons to be a complete losing one, and his ego will want his legacy to be the "GOAT who played until he was fifty". That's why I think he signs with the 69ers, and I hope to holy fate I'm wrong.

My wishes can't come true but....
1. Retire the high player turnover (almost half your team leaves every year)
2. Needing to have several paid sources to watch a football season.
3. The high injury rates across all sports because the athletes max their bodies beyond the design.
4. If Brady, Rodgers, Irvin, Bayless, and Foolio would retire from speaking altogether...
5. Retire the notion that offensive holding and defensive pass interference can't be consistently called.
#4 is an excellent call.

I like Marvel movies as long as they are done right

Phase 4 movies were just ehh for the most part

Avengers Infinity War and Avengers End Game were awesome movies

And the Guardians of the Galaxy Wars cracked me up
