"It was fantastic, so let me start with something nice," Beck said, then paused, staring blankly at the audience. "O.K., give me a minute, I'll think of something." The crowd roared.

Fining players who invent dubious injuries to duck out would be a start, although making a consequential dent in a superstar athlete's salary might be tough. At minimum, moving the game back to the Sunday following the Super Bowl seems like a no-brainer. Teams get to championships in part by having some of the game's best players, and those players...
