Sports Improvements Draft // Regulation Supplemental

AN EGG have had ENOUGH of boring sports and its time to spice things up! Welcome to the sports improvements draft, a draft where all sports and rules are on the table. Will these rules help or hinder your favorite sports? Which rules were best? What rules would you include?

Sports Improvements Draft // Regulation Supplemental

Comments

I love that Gavin's honourable mention of "Goalies can leave their gloves in the box" is actually how it works in Rematch and it rocks hard style.

Brian Pedersen

I have always found it very funny that in the NFL you are a unicorn for playing both sides, but in a sport like Rugby League or Union, everyone plays both sides (and you have way less breaks in play in those sports as well).

Zane Platt

Moving the hoop during free throws might be the dumbest idea anyone has ever had. Nobody would ever make a shot, everyone would foul every possession, and there would be no basketball. GREAT SUGGESTION NICK. LET'S IMPROVE BASKETBALL BY REMOVING IT. EDIT: maybe I spoke too soon. Nearly all of these ruin the sport.

zgillet

Eric’s first rule is so incredible I love it. It would infuriate me so much as a fan of the giants

Clark

For racing, Andrew might like Stadium Super Trucks. Ramps and crashes galore, it’s great.

Justin McCray

Shoutout to Big Dog with the Kimi Raikkonen mention. Gotta love the Iceman.

Bryce

This is my favorite draft in quite a while

Daniel McGrotty

Gavin’s realization about offense and defense in football really completed this episode

Daniel McGrotty

This is one of those jokes that's fucking hilarious, but you can't explain to anyone because it would take too long

Mark Prahar

"Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a sprint into deep left field by Castellanos with the dog, he gets the ketchup and the mustard and takes a bite, And so that will be the ballgame. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Reds, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck – for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am. It never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people ... that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home."

Swiggy_

What was Gavin's gun idea?!

Regulation Brenton

Sports are boring as hell but you guys definitely improved them!

Sirak108

Love the elimination NASCAR idea. I would say dont start eliminations until number of laps equals number of cars. But maybe leave the top 5 to race for the win, so start eliminatin around lap 35, then last lap would be the top 5 racing for the win. Leaves opportunity for side by side finishes.

Brandon Hannem

They should do a hosts not host draft. My first pick would be Eric, he’s my favorite host who isn’t listed as a host in two podcast!

Spencer Hinkle

Geoff is the clear winner, I want all of his rules implemented immediately

Roman H Smith

I also did not know that the offense and defense were different people

MorJayy

For me it's between Nick and Eric.... Eric's first pick was amazing, but then Nick ended it with the offense/defense switch and I am torn. But everyone's ideas were amazing this draft, i had so much fun with the hypotheticals xD

Soots

Eric you’re my winner this draft

shadethrow

The only rule I want is how soccer is done where the game is a certain length of time, that's how long the game is. No timer pauses, no more an hour and half game or whatever turns into 5 hours like football. Makes sports unwatchable.

Avlin Starfall

This is no contest the best draft they’ve ever done in terms of the actual content on the board. Holy shit what an incredible pack of ideas. I have no idea who to pick, I want all of these implemented immediately.

Ryan B.

Regulation Relegation

Daniel

The defense/offense flip would make players like Kam Chancellor overpowered. Insane Strong Safety, but he also used to be a QB.

Daniel Springer

Closest it has EVER been my god

Bop

Round 3 starts at 35 minutes, and not even at the halfway. You know this is gonna be a banger

Chaz Surfboard

Golf but free for all, everybody starts at the same time, but once once they start it's a race, first person to get the ball in the hole gets the point(maybe mariokart style where 1st gets more points and last gets one point), you can hit other players with the ball

NATHAN GREER

For the curling one, I'd like it if there were an option to use toothbrushes instead, but the other tem might choose to be 30ft apart and you can wisher to each other while brushing really fast

Sam Ingalls

NASCAR on ice anyone

TheSteelWolfMan

They didn't tell gavin there's a 3rd team that only plays when the other team kisk off or punts

Marco Ameneyro

Travis Hunter was doing it for the Buffs, Geoff and Eric! Hopefully he gets to do it in the NFL. As a sports fan, Nick won Andrew's first pick is top notch

Ale X

Football: Fan voted Trade. Every team has to sign one player from free agency chosen by the fans. That players contract is the exact same from the previous team. And this trade is the first trade that happens 7 days after the Super Bowl.

Eric H

Only two picks in, loved Eric’s pick then he had to go shoot a stray at my basketball team with the second pick 😂😂😭😭.

John Bott

Not a big sports guy, but jeez. Im only through the first round picks and this may be my favorite draft so far.

Raty Boy Troy

I'm so glad Eric stuck with the big guns this draft, he absolutely won this thing

DT Hugo

Nothing brings more of a smile to my face than knowing the Dodgers live rent free in Eric’s head, just as they do with every other Padres fan

Jacob Pelletier

Most players can get to first easily before a pop up is caught. I would change it to, if you can make it to 2nd before the ball is caught and you are thrown out, then you are safe. But it’s a force out at second so you don’t have to be tagged. Also, if you are thrown out it’s a double play. It incentivizes the speedsters but also adds a risk for them. Otherwise, they would always round 1st to try to force an error.

Ryan Woods

My rules are 1) Every NFL team gets a counter-flag each game. It can be used to cancel out any non-personal foul flag thrown on the prior play. Holding call on the big run? Nope. Counter-flag. Run stands. Offside on a sack? Nope. Counter-flag. Sack stands. Other team throws a challenge flag and you also think the refs got it wrong? Nope. Counter-flag. Challenge is ignored. But say you really want that challenge, then you can counter-flag their counter-flag. 2) In NASCAR, every lap the last place car is eliminated from the race. Pole position becomes extremely important at the start of the race. Every lap becomes poised for drama, but the front of the pack is still continuing the same “maintain position for majority of race” strategies and techniques. Imagine those last 10 laps of every race being a photo finish until there is only 1 car left on the track. If there’s a wreck, then no cars are up for last place elimination until the number of laps pass equals the number of cars that were unable to return to the race. This would shorten races significantly, so you could make a rule like every 3rd lap a car is eliminated or the eliminations don’t start until there are 40 laps remaining. But the drama that would be built up would bring in many more fans.

Ryan Woods

My only improvement would be have relegation be for every sport.

OP Piranha

this is one of the best videos you guys have done.

Toeseaknow

Also, Nick wins

Carlos A.

Gavin… each team is actually 3 teams. Offense, defense and special teams

Carlos A.

My rule is called the No-No. In baseball, a player is automatically walked if hit by a pitch, but NOTHING happens if the batter hits the pitcher with the ball after a bad swing. I propose consequences for the batters who hit the pitcher, such as but not limited to releasing the hounds.

Mikayla Matz

I wonder how The Zim would react to Gavin’s second to last choice 😂

Makeitreinnn

These are all SO GOOD

Natalie

Nick wins because the football one is awesome and I'd love that

Joseph Modugno

Kimi Raikkonen? What year is Eric watching F1?

Mr. Dude Sky

I have not laughed this hard in a good while. So silly, so funny, so creative, just an amazing piece of content.

Kyle Mauser

the idea of paul giamatti trying to give a between-rounds pep talk in Cinderella Man but at the same time he's going nuts on the guy's soles with a hand plane is hilarious

J

Wrestling is scripted?!? Andrew NOOOO!!!

Dijon

Definitely one of the best drafts. Quality entertainment 😂

Jeff Freeman

I just love Gavin's ah-hah moment at the end it's so great 😂😂😂😂😂

Leilani Tuala

Instantly one of my favorite drafts of all time

Corey Combs

Idea for a new draft - animals in sports drafts. Dog tennis was a brilliant idea, but it got me thinking what else could you do to get our animal friends involved in the world of sports? Golf but where theres a cat chilling out on the green? Animal boxing feels really cruel, but it wouldnbe cool to know for s fact who is the toughest animal. Partridge fans already know Monkey Tennis is a no brainer too.

KVLT

I want to see the terror in little league soccer when the kids are thrown out of a plane.

johnny howell

Gavin's Golden Dog rule is aka "The Bo Jackson Rule".

Gabriel Rosenkoetter

Not the Celtics superfan complaining about the NBA becoming a 3 point shootout lol

Caleb Hunt

God damn, Nick absolutely smashed it with that last pick.

Josh Baggs

The idea that pleasantries exchanged pre-recording include bickering about ownership is hilarious and totally on F**kFace brand

Tan

Them taking this and fleshing it out Immersion style would be amazing, the Regulation Olympics

Caveman

I love the idea of an aging NFL player who just can't go 100% for 20-30 plays a game anymore retiring to become a mascot.

OnionRings

I’ve told my friends this countless times but there needs to be an extra league of every sport where they all do steroids. And all the fields and courts are sized up relative to strength, bigger stadiums = more seats it’s a win win. How crazy would that be

Russ

It was pretty close, the whole time. But, Nick closed it out, with his final pick!

Dhuvy

The Commanders owner also owns the Sixers and Devils. As a Philly fan if someone like Tyrese Maxey was traded to make a rival team better in another sport I would snap.

Matt

Every entry was hilarious, definitely in my top 3 favourite drafts this one

Julius Lafrentz

Panton 3:16 says fuck your plans, we’re shooting.

Kerry(TD4949)

Eric with the wrestling theme on pick number one on this blessed Steve Austin Day, gimme a hell yeah.

Kerry(TD4949)

I feel like the mascots should play the entire game, and the score points are higher for mascots.

Travelinmatt76

Gavin’s ah ha moment is wild haha

Rage Fueled

Taller shoes with boxing just makes me want drag queen boxing. Like imagine a queen in 9in platforms, face full of makeup and not a strand of wig out of place, and she just uppercuts and ends the fight.

MidnightArticuno

Loved this keep the drafts content coming!

Keefin Bickmore

Hockey players play through losing teeth and broken bones. I don’t think they’d even feel a dog collar shock 😂

Joshua Neditch

I can't wait until they get to use the "+graysie" button.

Darren Eck

Play it where it dives

GurthQuake

Eric’s final draft was such a great way to end it

Abby

I had no idea what to expect with this draft. I just finished the first round and I love it.

SirFriesFried

i’m stuck between andrew and gavin for the most entertaining picks to me… maybe Andrew

Bevschwa

This was amazing

Sean

I think I like Geoff’s the most overall because they all feel like something that could be practically added to the sport at pretty much any level. This was an awesome draft!

rddsknk89

nick for sure won this draft, but this might be my favorite draft of all time

Sabry Entertainment

new hot fursona: golden snitch dog snatch

sugarpuss

the words 'semi pro at freeze tag' killed me, thank you geoff

Rhiannon Hundley

I have a fun one for baseball, it'd benefit sprinters in the same way that geoff's run bank would. I think that while the ball is in the air, the batter can try to run to 1st base, but you're out if it's caught before you get there. So those super high pop-ups suddenly become a chance for a speedy hitter to make it to first before the ball comes down, making what was previously a guaranteed out into a hustle single.

Archer

My suggestion would be, for any team sport, at the start of a seasons a D20 is rolled to determine team sizes.

WeeStev0

Add secret signing to all sports, combined with parachuting in subs (from a blimp not a plane) and you've got some insane moments on day one trying to figure out who's coming on.

WeeStev0

Regulation Algorithm comment! Thanks for all the hard work on these videos/podcasts/streams lads!

Joakim XwIIcK Lundberg

I like this but with all track and field. Don't know if you'll do the long jump, pole vault, or hammer throw.

Nick K.

Just starting, I cannot wait for this draft!!

Matty J

This is legitimately the best draft they’ve ever done!

Shrimp

Golf clubs should be limited to 18". I don't think this will make the game better or more fun to watch, there are just some motherfuckers I really don't like that really like golf. And fuck them.

Creeperkry

THIS!! Stadium Super Trucks are incredible

Liam

i really liked eric's secret signings idea but i think nick had the best draft

Eddylet

I'm 99% sure you guys actually had this idea in F**k face episode 86 or so

Matthew S

Eric's secret signings/trades idea would be awesome for all sports. Imagine going to the Jets game and Aaron Rodgers just comes out as QB. Or going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and seeing Tom Brady with no idea that that happened. Legendary shit right there, great rule.

John Samuel

This draft was so fucking funny. One of my favorites. The dog rule in tennis is my top pick

Brianna Smith

Andrew for your racing please look up stadium trucks. It's a very Australian basically they are running off road race trucks on normal tracks with ramps everywhere and the wrecks are amazing. And Nick with the OT NFL rules

Sean Fiore

I like how at the end Gavin was just like "lets make the financial disparity in football thats ruining the game even worse so that 95% of clubs fold"

Eoin

Great draft guys. Also, was stunned that "do you think Olympic sports take place outside of the Olympics?" went by unquestioned.

Gregory Davis

This might be my favorite draft they've ever done, this is so fun

Chip Clip

I thought in tennis the coach isn't allowed to talk to the player during play?

Scott MacLean

Andrew's first pick is such madness its incredible. Imagine trading one of your best players to the Broncos in return for 1 guaranteed shelf of your team's merch in every Walmart in America.

Jeremy Peterson

What an incredible draft, everyone did a great job. I think my order of drafters is 1. Andrew 2. Geoff 3. Nick 4. Eric 5. Gavin

Jeremy Peterson

I think Gavin takes it for me but this is such a close one

tayycro

This is maybe the best draft you've ever done. Just making sports absolutely chaotic 😂

tayycro

We need to bring Dunks back to the NBA. My new rule is: The Dunk Deduction/De-Dunk-tion Every Dunk is earns 2 points, but also penalizes the opposing team for letting you get close enough to do it by taking away 1 points from their score

FriscoFlame

Your dog can't run an 100kmh-60mph?

Andreas Wolf

Runners russian roulette. All runners on the starting line for the 100m race. Click. Then it's announced it will be the 200m race, same racers are on their marks. Click. Then officials bring out the hurdles. Bang. The runners have to go. You never know if you're doing the 100m or 10,000m

WesleyDickens

Everyone has two picks that I really like but only Geoff has all four ideas that I think are so game changing they all can make their respective sports feel refreshing and garners new audience. Great brainstorming everyone, and especially Baby Pepsi!

SpriggleWiggle

Some of these are so good. This is the closest draft yet to me. I know yall are doing a best draft draft, but I wanna see you have to do our job and do a best draft board draft, as in who drafted the best 4 picks across a draft. This shit is hard lol

Sablever

madness, i love it.

cyanann

I’m one minute in and it’s already my favorite thing😂

Russell Richardson

Soccer should be played on a square field with goals at every side. 4 team free for all

Jeffrey Saari

Geoff's list but modify 2 with Nick's 4 so people aren't perma-benched, they just can't play they're preferred job

Aven

Dog soccer - smaller enclosed field with goals, two breeds just playing with balls on a field and some RUF- erres to stop rough housing. Audience always wins cuz dogs

Erica Lazarow

The Wrestlemania idea being applied to a TV show is insane, like if the Severance season finale was aired live and the actors had no outline and improvised everything

TimShaw19284163519

Part of the fun. Anyone associated just does a GLOMAR response but they’re trying to figure it out.

Trevor Brown

I think Eric underestimates the speed of the ball during a tennis match

imnotthatbrad

Eric's first rule change is the best idea for baseball trades

CloudyVro

Depth perception for 98% of the game might have priority.

Don L

For the first time since the Malls draft I'm struggling to pick a winner

Corey Smith

Nicks ideas were great

Spummer

HR hotdogs seems like a Savannah Banana rule

Andrey Chichagov

Would you play with an eyepatch in Lights Out sports? Instant night vision activation

Daniel Brown

I need you all to make up a Regulation Sport. Like you did with sandwiches, bagels, etc. Make up a new playable sport and then teach it to us by playing it 😂😭

Goob

Words cannot express how much I love this entire draft.

David Gentilcore

Eric, as someone who curls (next time you're in Las Vegas, check out CurlVegas), we hold the brooms close to the ice, so the most your curling improvement would do is have 12 feet of broom above our heads and that's much funnier.

Justine Baker

Gavin understood the keeping the player moves secret thing ... all players and rookies would have to be in a big hotel with all the GMs, then they would do the draft and all the trades and free agent signings, and then the games would start a few days later. Embargo.

Scott MacLean

So many of these are so good. And I think Eric’s honorable mention for crickets is being undersold. Cricket stadiums are usually open, so you’re gonna have thousands of birds that come to learn they have a potential feast every time there’s a match, and everyone’s gotta just deal with the birds on top of the crickets.

Kriscerosaurus

Fun fact, they add more pucks to hockey depending on how many over times happen. I belive if they get to like 8 or 9 overtimes they add like 5 pucks

Aaron

- No one will ever decide on a "fair" OT rule for the NFL. Nick's rule just makes OT a pointless sloppy mess where there will be many season ending injuries. Might as well play rock paper scissors to decide the winner. I have to go with Geoff because he doesn't have a rule that if you already like the sport it doesn't ruin the spirit of the game/turn it into absurd mess where injuries skyrocket. He didn't have a deal-breaker rule like adding dogs to a tennis match. No one will ever use bank a run because the risk far outweigh the reward. Almost all of these rules only improve the game for people who just see the clips on social.

Don L

9 minutes in and Eric wins the draft with the very first pick which is hard to do. I NEED to have all trades and free agent moves to be secret until day 1. Unfortunately that rule will never happen because all the sports are trying to be relevant all year now.

Scott MacLean

i just want to say i have at this point only watched the first 10:05 and i vote eric. that is such an amazing idea... now to the rest

ChillyVanilly

There is and I’m pretty sure I learned that from Andrew on this podcast

Spoon

Eric’s last pick is insane

Jonathan

I’m glad they walked out all their rules a bit. I thought Eric’s curling rule was making the head super wide, not how long the stick is.

Robert Gibbens

But I'm actually so on board to have a "puppy match" added to every sport event. There is an additional intermission match and the dogs are ambassadors for the local shelter the match is happening at. Players get bonus points if they score with the dogs in play, and the more play time they get the bigger the donation to that shelter ❤️

Ashley King

How would it not get spoiled by training camp and preseason games?

Don L

I listen to these while driving and almost crashed because of Gavin's boxing improvement

Liquor cause I know her

Honestly, I want all of these.

John Buffo

Gavin not realizing that offense and defense are different players is why I love this show so much. Amazing

josh thomas

This was a super fun one. Every single pick was great and hilarious

Nathan Sweatt

These are all such great rules 👏

Jacob Hoover

Am I insane or isn't there already some obscure hockey rule that has never been used that says if it goes into some specific type of overtime that more pucks get added with a max of like five possible pucks? I know I have heard this before, but can't find a source, which is why I am asking.

Steven Skidmore

Bring back the break show

A98W

Lmao, Eric’s first one rules. Imagine if Luka just randomly walked out as a Laker with no build up

Toly

How long does it usually they take to make the poll on here

Josh Todd

Breaking Regulation Listener status to say Eric’s Baseball Day 1 rule is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard.

Kaleb

We need this to be an actual video game bc these all sound wild. Someone make Regulation Sports game

Kyle Potter

Gonna be a good one!

Andrew Jones

2009 called, please return their comment

Cole

Been waiting on this one, hell yeah

Anthony Bolognese

First
