Three sporting ideas whose time has come.

1. The New Orleans Hornets and the Utah Jazz should swap nicknames. The New Orleans Jazz can thus ride again, and Utah will have a mascot fitting of the Beehive State. They could even swap "teams" and make like the New Orleans Jazz were just on hiatus, like the Cleveland Browns.

2. Government funded stadiums call eminent domain if there's a strike. Void the contract with the MLB team and let whoever wants to rent it do so. Bring back the Federal League. I know, it's not that simple, and finding enough willing new owners and players would be difficult at best. But it'd be fun to watch the reaction.

3. Pro kickball. This is what the WWE should have started, not the XFL.
