I’m not on Twitter, but I like his reaching out at the very least though not much else about him other than his past track record of business success.

What is working is smaller venues when they are filled better.
-
What’s not working is a laundry list:
- The presentation on air with too many sideline interviews and distractions from the play on the field
- The pace of play is too slow, including officials still taking too damn long on routine calls as opposed to on those close calls late in the game, when more time is merited
- Three hours is too
long a time slot on TV. See the previous point. - Meh the new rules do not enhance the product, including all gimmicks. Just copy almost all the NFL rules, though the one entire foot inbounds for a catch is a good rule as one example.
- The dynamic kickoff has to be redone. Just have the kicking team players run from the point of the kick like before. Then have the receiving team players only line up as far up as their 40-yard line and cannot cross it until the kick is touched by the receiving team. Get rid of also the landing zone requirement for kicks and instead have a requirement that a kick must travel at least past the opposing 40-yard line or the receiving team gets the ball right there like now. We don’t need to watch the damn kickoff sail and land short of the 20 and see a penalty flag so often. Let’s see the action play out on almost every kickoff except for those major touchbacks.
- All owners belong in a press box and not on a sideline until at least the final seconds when a game has been won.
- Ditch ESPN or at the very least, their vintage 2014 Maction production for your PRO league, you damn fools!
- Ditch Dogshit Sports aka FS1 for all games - use a FAST channel or Tubi instead if you cannot put a game on Fox or the NFL Network (also not preferred and owned by ESPN, see previous comment)
- Get your eight-team league right before you start talking about expansion bullshit again.
