• Every team plays one neutral site game. I know you love this idea. So you can have your two games in London as well as games in Toronto, Mexico, Hawaii, and wherever else you want to increase the NFL's reach. One proposal I've heard involves playing 8 games in Los Angeles each year. That's almost as good as relocating a team there. Let's be clear on one thing, though-neutral site means neutral site. Which means the Bills cannot play their neutral site game in Toronto. And that goes for any other team with a proximity to a "neutral site."
• Evenly rotate the non-continental U.S. locations each team plays in. That means every team treks to London, Mexico, and Hawaii once before any team has to make a second trip there.
• Schedule each team's "extra game" vs. conference opponents based on the previous season's standings. The typical NFL schedule is now a thing of beauty with 6 divisional games, 8 games based on a rotating schedule, and 2 games based on your record the previous year. I know the easiest way to add an extra game would be to select one of the 12 non-conference opponents teams do not play in a given year. But to make the games more meaningful and generate more interest, you're going to want to avoid out of conference games. How about scheduling rematches of the previous year's Championship Games, having the losers of both round 1 and round 2 of the playoffs square off, and then use the order of finish (with the draft order tiebreakers) to complete the slate of intra-conference games. Here are some of the match-ups we (or NFL fans in foreign lands) would enjoy this year: Steelers-Ravens, Colts-Dolphins, Patriots-Jets, Panthers-Giants, Falcons-Vikings, and Bears-Saints.
  
  Now, I know what you're thinking: you might end up with some teams playing each other for a 2nd time in a season, and you might end up with some division opponents who play each other for a 3rd time. You know what I say to that? Those are all good things. Rivalry games are more appealing than non-rivalry games. I mean, an additional Patriots-Jets game? Or a third Steelers-Ravens match-up? Where do I go to see those games? (LA or Hawaii would be nice.) And so that tiebreakers aren't screwed up, you could count the extra games in the conference standings but exclude any divisional match-up from tiebreaker consideration. You're still going to see solid games from division opponents.
• Hold the Super Bowl Presidents' Day weekend but do not have neutral sites for the AFC and NFC Championship Games. Here at Sports in a Can, we've been advocating for Super Bowl Sunday to be the day before Presidents' Day for years. Super Bowl Sunday is a de facto national holiday. Wouldn't it be great if the next day actual was a holiday? To get the Super Bowl scheduled this weekend, you only need to add one or two weeks to the schedule, depending on the year. Change the date of opening weekend or add a second bye for every team-whatever you want to do is fine with me. But do not-I repeat do not-change the Championship Games to neutral sites. We already have issues with competitive games being played down the stretch each season (see the 2009 Arizona Cardinals), if you take away home field advantage for the final conference playoff games it's just one more reason for teams to take weeks off. Besides, the latest the AFC and NFC Championship Games could be played under this new schedule would be February 6. In 2007 Green Bay and New England hosted the NFC and AFC title games on January 20. Is the weather that much worse in either locale 17 days later?

Those are my suggestions. Please feel free to use any or all of them without providing proper credit. It's not the planner that is important, it's the plan. But if you need help tackling any of the other pressing issues (the collective bargaining agreement, getting Comcast to show the NFL Network, deciding where to host upcoming Super Bowls, etc.), you know how to reach me. I am at your service.
