    American Football: Field Goals from 55+ yards are worth 4 points. This would place a premium on kickers that can kick far and accurately, and perhaps bring some new strategy into the game.

    Football: Radical idea, but I'd say add another player. This way teams can heavily favor offense or defense if they so please.

    Basketball: Less timeouts. It's extremely annoying to have potentially 12 times be called within the last 30 seconds of a half.

    Baseball: No DH. I vehemently believe that of you're on the field, you also have to bat (fight me, AL fans).

    Hockey: 4 on 4 be the default. A power play would result in an additional 5th player being added, as opposed to a player being removed. This would simply just make the game even more exciting to watch, and perhaps increase its popularity.

      Taking your American Football idea to basketball, I've always believed that shooting from half-court should be worth four-points. I think it might make some of the mid-court interaction more interesting because then people wouldn't be running to the other side as quickly because they can't just imagine that guy who is really good at shooting half-court shots.

        Go one step further and make it 5 points from inside the opponent's paint.

        BTW picklefingers, you're my invite grandfather. You invited the person who invited me. :)
