  1. In the interests of player safety, no players over age 38 will be permitted in play-offs

  2. Play-action passes will now draw a 5 yard "attempting to deceive the defense" penalty

  3. Not more than a single tight end 6 foot 6 inches or taller is allowed in the end zone at once

  4. Any network commentator that says bad things about the Commissioner or Mort can expect a steady diet of games involving the Redskins, Titans, Bucs, Jags and Oakland

  5. The ideal gas law within the confines of stadiums will be repealed
I'm sure there are a few more proposals I haven't heard about yet, so feel free to post any others you may have come across. Maybe Mort will leak some more of them.
 
Head coaches cannot have a Consiglieri ........

I think you're misinformed! Rules 4 and 5 are already in place!
 
Running backs cannot stiff arm or attempt to bulldozer over players within 5 yds of the line of scrimmage, illegal contact will be called otherwise with a five yard penalty and replay of downs.

Looks like James White is starting after all then.
 
Teams limited to 1 Super Bowl appearance every 16 years ... Jets would love that one.
 
6. There shall be no mention of Ray Rice. EVER.
 
Just heard on the radio that Irsay has proposed to not keep score. Everyone gets a Lombardi at the end of the season.

"Super Bowl Round of 32 Qualifier"
 
6. Tricorn hats on team mascots - 15 yard penalty per mascot.
7. Hoodie worn by Head Coach - lifetime banishment.
 
8. An Offense must announce their play to the Raven's Defense. Referees will hold the snap to provide proper time for Ravens coaches to correctly align players.

and a bag of coke or meth.
 
Defending Super Bowl Champs can only play with 10 players on the field at a time (not enforced if a team other than the Patriots win the SB)
