Army Football

It seems to me that the US Military Academy football team should wear cat eye reflectors on the back of their helmets.

NFL Headsets

The NFL should take a lesson from NASCAR and put headsets in every player's helmet. Then each player/position should have a spotter up on the roof telling them what's going on during the game. "Watch out, you're about to get blindsided on your left..." or "It's a fake, it's a fake..." or "You're over-pursuing, get back to cover the reverse..." I think it could make the game much more interesting. They could even bill it as a "green" initiative - think how much paper they'd save by not printing out thousands of those rooftop Polaroids they print every game.

And speaking of helmets and green... Get rid of the stupid lime green dots on the helmets. It make sense on the Seahawks helmets because they have lime green piping on their uniforms anyway. But, for everyone else, have it match their uniform. For a league that is so uniform conscious, lime green stickers for everyone are stupid.

NASCAR and the Rain

NASCAR should take a lesson from the NFL and have a couple of indoor races. Put some covers on a couple of those racetracks so we can do away with these incessant rain delays. Bristol's small, surely they could cover Bristol Motor Speedway. But I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen rain at Bristol.

Better yet, learn to drive in the rain. Heck, give 'em snow tires if that's what it takes. Especially on road courses, they could definitely race in the rain on road courses. And if they can't, well, we get more action and the last one left in the race wins by default...
