Will

Andrew was thinking of the hockey player who got traded for a bag of pucks.

Psilocvbin

I just thought of one. In tennis it would be cool to have you racket on a string so you can throw it and hit the ball from far away and boomerang it back to you.

Luke Elliott

Eric or Geoff. I love the strategic and cinimatic implications. They have crative introductions and 1off limits. And I also like that they don't have any injury escalating ones.

Preston Collins

Andrew getting really shat on here, dude had a HILARIOUS draft

Kevin Clarke

When Andrew brought up Little Cesar's, I thought he was going to pitch the idea of trading someone for a pizza party.

Hope Berry

Yeah I had to go back and listen to the recap at the end of the the video

Hope Berry

Gavin’s were the funniest but Nick’s make so much sense

Rachel Foor

I'm not a sports person but Nick's ideas would make me become one 💯 It was difficult picking between him and Eric for the curling idea alone.

John Lockwood

I was just thinking the same thing

Paularino

lil ricky b had me at the very first pick

Travelinmatt76

I like the idea of mascot playing, but I feel like they should play the whole game, and when the mascot scores they receive extra points.

Crimmy

"Lights out" is my favorite sports idea of all time.

Milkasaurous

Gotta go Gavin. Biggest sports mind of them all.

Doug

Can yall post the draft board in the poll? I can’t remember what everyone picked long enough to vote 😂

Zach Childs

I can understand Geoff not getting 1st here, but the fact he is in 4th at the time of my post absolutely blows my mind.

Thindler's Lisp

Yeah Geoff had the best list of actual rules that could be realistically implemented although the other guys had some hilarious options. Geoff definitely should win this.

Miles Smith

I’m genuinely shocked Geoff isn’t stealing this. I want to see all of his rules

SWEETPIPES

Might be my favorite draft so far! Incredible picks from everyone! I particularly liked how Geoff tried to add new strategy to the games!

TiberiumCat

I wanna see F1 where they have to dodge the tire wall or risk their car going over a jump. An oil slick before a chicane would be crazy in 24 Hours of Le Mans

Eric

I mean, I kept it fun and only viewed this from the "fan entertainment" perspective. I didn't view these as real implementations. So with that said, Andrew's first rule was nothing for me, but the other three were certainly entertaining.

Brianna Smith

This one was tough because everyone had really hilarious ones. If I could draft the draft it would be 10 seconds lights out NBA hoop moves Tennis the Dog Rule Bank runs in baseball

Cole

They should really include a screenshot of the final draft board in these poll posts (if you can do that on Patreon)

Tuomas L

Good job everyone, you got it right. Each of other ones other than Nick would absolutely ruin a sport I love. But everyone had really funny picks, this was a great draft.

Marcel

Well while his first rule seems funny it would genuinely be awful. Allowing the rich to get richer and clubs to get shafted by their owners. So yeah I'd like the billionaires not to have more power. And the third rule change will result in deaths. So that's also pretty hard to condone

CloudyVro

I loved Eric's until curling, Big Dawg lost me with that one

CloudyVro

Geoff's picks felt really focused on improving each game. The rest of the crews felt whacky but the polls are unanimous

NATHAN GREER

Not a sports guy but I loved all of these ideas. Gavin won it for me with the lights out. Also, you have to be a very high rated skydiver to skydive into a stadium, so I like the idea that every soccer player is also very trained in skydiving

Psilocvbin

I think everyone had some good ones but Erics are my favorite and i think id like to see them and that they wouldnt be too drastic but still gamechanging

Eric

Woooow. As I write this, Andrew placed last? I thought he won pretty clearly. Although, I am someone who watches professional wrestling and no real sports XD

Peter McIlroy

some of the best draft options in this one. Hard to pick, but gavins won for me. Please do a second draft one day.

Bevschwa

agreed, but i still voted him

Cullain Herring

I was torn between Nick and Geoff. Great draft though.

Dijon

Samsies fam!

Tilgare

Gavin, as my analog in such conversations on this show, really did me proud and truly had the best picks imo. Lights out is an incredible rule. Sky bench is fucking hilarious. All 4 picks were so solid. Well done, Gav. Well done everybody - I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did!

L

Andrews "Money in the Bank" and owners trading all assets ideas got the vote from me

The Admirals of N

I absolutely love all the drafts and especially these polls for who won, but one suggestion since these polls come out a day or two after the draft. Please put a snapshot of the final draft next to the poll so that it can remind those who have poor memory (me, I am that person) who drafted what

Christopher Wirt

I'm giving this to Nick under the criteria they set up at the beginning of "implement today", but I think `Lights Out` is the single funniest thing in the entire draft hahaha

Dylan Johnson

Everyone had some bangers in this one, but Geoff's baseball and basketball ideas were too good so I had to pick him.

Michael M

Eric's first pick alone is swaying me

Hunter Mackey

Andrew won it for me because I love Wrestlemania is real so much

AJ Prout

Same here, not into sports personally AM into chaos in rules-based environments. I would watch so many lights-out or sky bench sub-in compilations. Also if Andrew’s suggestion of speed cobbling is a job that’s being offered up I would like to apply

Mr. Dude Sky

This is tough. it was such a good draft, some would say the best. Lots of great ideas thrown around but I think Lil Ricky B has the ones I want to see the most.

EssKayAye

This is hard. There are no real throwaways here because everybody had clever stuff this time. I gotta go with Geoff on this one. Just the most consistently entertaining to me.

Joshua Neditch

Gotta give it to MechaNick

ucheehcu

Yeah. Geoff's are also the most realistic to implement. Some of the other guys' rules are very interesting or funny, but just not actually doable. Going strictly by their own criterium of "which rules would you like to see implemented today", I will have to go with Geoff's.

Brian

I commented in the draft itself, but this was the best one so far because all of the picks were so good! Very difficult to choose a winner!

ThatoneGuyoverThere33

I like Andrew's picks until the outright murders in racing.

Reece Watson

Gavin’s were really funny but I’d actually like to see most of Geoff’s

Biggsy

Lights out is pretty much a winner just by itself. I love it.

MidnightArticuno

Even though I played curling in college and sweeping can be difficult enough with the brooms we have, I gotta go with Eric for secret trades and tennis dog. Just listening to an Orioles brief from spring training this morning I was like "but what about secret trading!!!"

Jake Matthew

Congratulations to nick for his first draft poll win

Raider the Animator

If it wasnt for the banking pick, Andrew would have had it for me. 1. Owners trading any asset (they must do some backroom deals already) 2. Make wrestling real 💯 3. Wacky Racers 🤣👌

Dylan Pruitt

Eric: "Baseball: Secret Signings & Trades Revealed Day 1", "Football: Mascots for 1 set of downs with sticky stuff", "Tennis: Dog Rule", "Curling: Broom is 15 ft". Nick: "NBA: Hoop moves during freethrows, controlled by other team", "Baseball: must eat home run hot dogs per run scored", "Golf: play it where it sinks", "Football: Overtime Offense & Defense switch". Andrew: "Owners can trade any asset across anything they have", "WWE: Wrestlemania is real now", "Racing: drivers place obstacles", "All sports: Money in the Bank". Geoff: "Baseball: players can bank runs by remaining on base; thrown out & lose the run", "Football: 2 player blocks per team, 3 saves", "Basketball: 4 point freeze out", "Hockey: Pocket Puck". Gavin: "10 seconds of lights out per team", "Boxing: every round, shoes get 1" taller", "Baseball: Golden Snitch Dog Snatch", "Soccer: Sky Bench".

Marcel

As someone who thinks multi-club ownership is an abomination and never wants to see a Savinho-Troyes situation ever again the only one I genuinely don't want to see is Andrew's. No offense intended

Johnathon

I could agree with this

burtalert

It’s more so because it essentially punishes the teams for going to overtime which I enjoy that concept of

Don L

For the chaos and spectacle of it all? If wanted to see bad football I can just watch a Giants vs Jets game.

Simon Adams

I think Gavin has the best 4 overall, but also probably none of the top 10.

Dhuvy

Nick sealed it, with his last pick.

Briz

Everyone had some REALLY good ones. This is tough! I wish I could grab a few from each.

burtalert

Swap Geoff’s pocket puck with Nick’s offense/defense swap in overtime and it’s a near perfect list

burtalert

I hate Nick’s other rules but his Football overtime one is so good

Aidan Dressler

Thank you

Colin Curtis

Eric: Baseball: Secret Signings & Trades Revealed Day 1, Football: Mascots for 1 set of downs with sticky stuff, Tennis: Dog Rule, Curling: Broom is 15 ft Nick: NBA: Hoop moves during freethrows controlled by other team, Baseball: must eat home run hot dogs per run scored, Golf: play it where it sinks, Football: Overtime Offense & Defense switch Andrew: Owners can trade any asset across anything they have, WWE: Wrestlemania is real now, Racing: drivers place obstacles, All sports: Money in the Bank Geoff: Baseball: players can bank runs by remaining on base; thrown out & lose the run, Football: 2 player blocks per team; 3 saves, Basketball: 4 point freeze out, Hockey: Pocket Puck Gavin: 10 seconds of lights out per team, Boxing: every round shoes get 1″ taller, Baseball: Golden Snitch Dog Snatch, Soccer: Sky Bench

Johnathon

I like specific rules from everyone's listing but Geoff wins overall for me

Amanda Martin

I'm not a sports person, so Gavin, because his additions would all be so fun to watch.

Natalie

Honestly everyone did awesome, but I want to see the lights out rule in action

Matthew Hughes

I wanna see a 37 point grand slam so badly XD it would be insane.

Elven Costello

Andrew entirely for the trade any asset rule.

Stryix

Gavin wins because he's not as much of a sports guy as everyone else. Everyone else mostly added stuff for sports fans. Gavin added things for everyone to get into sports.
