While we're fixing football, I say it's time to get rid of timeouts. With everybody miked up, there should be nothing to talk about. I shouldn't have to watch an extra five minutes of mancave commercials because the quarterback couldn't get the snap off or didn't like the defensive formation. If you don't like the defensive formation, deal with it or take a delay of game to talk about it.
As for the two minute drill, it might become the four minute drill, but that would be okay. If you aren't ahead by the end of the game, you don't deserve to have things made easier.
Same thing for basketball. If the other team is running you ragged, tough. There are no timeouts in boxing. It goes without saying that the last two minutes of most basketball games are virtually unwatchable.
