I went to the Colts/Vikings game Friday night. It was my first game inside Lucas Oil Stadium, and I was lucky enough to be in a suite (Deluxe!).  It was a great time, but I couldn’t help but think of some ways that preseason football could be better, yeah Roger Goodell, I’m looking at you. So, Roger here are some ideas we would like you to implement next year.

1) Teams must run the Wishbone every third down.

2) No punts and no field goals. Teams must go for it on fourth down.

3) Only use 80 yards of the field and hold an Arena Football game simultaneously with the rest of the space.

4) Make the cheerleaders try out at the preseason games. Let the fans vote on who makes the squad.

5) Brett Favre must play the entire game in order to work off the ill will he generates by his annual “I’m not going to play/ I’m going to play” soap opera.

6) Celebrity quarterbacks in the third quarter.  Now starting for the Colts, Danica Patrick!

7) No coin toss.  Each head coach must throw a trident into the stands. The first one to impale an opposing fan gets to choose offense or defense.

Concessions should be half price. If you’re not going to play the starters more than one series, let us have cheap beer.  That will help us forget that the quarterback in the 4th quarter will watching from the same sports bar as the fans in week 4.

9) Teams don’t have a real incentive to win preseason games. So, take the numbers off the losing teams jerseys.

10) Referees should have tasers instead of flags. Use your imagination!

11) Eagles games should include a halftime show of Michael Vick trying to outrun a hundred pit bulls.

Those ideas should make the preseason much more entertaining. They might even be more entertaining than the real season.

Carry on, Citizens!
