1. In football, defensive linemen have to kick all field goals in the first half of a football game. 4th downs are now a win-win.

2. Four times per season, hockey players must dress like male figure skaters for the entire game. Doesn’t matter which four games, and both teams don’t have to do it on the same night.

3. In basketball, a bench shot is worth 7 points. During timeouts, bench players select one representative to shoot seated bench shots until play resumes. 7 points per make.

4. In baseball, every Tuesday during the 7th inning, all batters are allowed to hit off of a tee.

5. In the PGA’s FexEx Cup Semifinal tournament, all players must play the third round with only one club. Doesn’t matter which club they choose, but it can only be one.

6. In soccer, players are allowed to be offsides during the last 10 minutes of a tied soccer match.

7. If a foul occurs in baskeball, the foulee can either take the free throws or engage the fouler in a hockey-style fight for 45 seconds.

8. After a touchdown in football, teams can kick an extra point, go for two, or go for nine. The nine-point conversion starts at the same spot on the field as the two-point conversion, but there are 28 men on defense.

9. Instead of a tip-off to begin a basketball game, the home team selects an A-List celebrity to shoot a free throw. If he/she makes it, home team’s ball. Misses it? The other team gets the ball and the celebrity has to give one lucky fan $20,000 and an autographed 8×10 glossy.

10. Every August 13 (Bear Day), every ballpark in America will have a wild bear roam the field for the entire game.

11. In every college football game, one of the footballs in rotation is filled with helium.

12. If a team wears throwback uniforms of any kind, they must be worn the way they were originally worn. Short shorts in basketball, leather helmets in football, oversized cotton jerseys in baseball, etc. This must happen 3 times per season.

13. In tennis, second sets are always played opposite-handed.

14. Every July 4th, in honor of America’s independence, baseball and golf will switch balls for a day.

15. Swimsuits are replaced with business suits in the swimming finals of the Pan American Games.

16. In Nascar, laps 350-400 of the Pocono 500 must be driven while texting and/or tweeting.

17. Steroid Saturdays become a part of the Major League Baseball season. All teams designate one player to spend the entire season pumping himself full of performance enhancing drugs. He only gets to play on Saturday, but he gets to use a corked bat and his own batting practice coach to pitch.

18. One day a month, all professional games start at 3am.

19. Teams are allowed to incorporate a mini-trampoline into two inbounds plays per game.

20. In overtime, normal field goals are replaced with paper football field goals. A table will be brought out to midfield and the offensive head coach flicks while the defensive head coach creates the uprights.
