Get rid of the kicker
I agree with King completely. Get rid of the kicker in Football, no field goals, no extra points kicks, no kick-offs. As far as the kick-offs, hell, just adopt the touch football rules of having someone throw the ball deep.
When we get rid of the field goal, the NFL should adopt the rule that you get 2 points when you get the ball past the 20-yard line. So you get 2 points when an team get the ball to the 20-yard line, four more points for scoring a touchdown and 1 point for the point after touchdown. This will make the end of the close games more exciting, knowing that a team only has to get it to the 20 yard line to win a tie or one-point game.
