Long:
+ NHL going global with expansion leagues worldwide, starting with a huge play in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. If they really get crazy, they might let these guys compete for the Stanley Cup.
+ NFL going on the road (domestically) by having teams play at least one game per regular season in a neutral US or Canadian city, particularly those without their own team. The trick is for the NFL marketing eggheads to figure out combos of (team A + team B + city demographics) would yield the most excitement and thus revenues. Here's just a few random ideas: 
- Pats v Raiders game in Tempe, catering to all the ex-SoCalites now in AZ
- Bengals v Indy in LA ... Cali kid back home to whip the demi-god
- Dolphins v anybody on Long Island, NY
- Jets v 49ers in Las Vegas
- Broncos v anybody in Austin TX
+ Knowshon Moreno (Georgia tailback) as the dark horse Heisman candidate
+ Rugby as the next high school lacrosse
Short:
- MLB ... unless they make it a timed game
- Regular-season NHL games ... jeez louise, does ANYbody watch games before the playoffs?
- Raiders (until they can find proper discipline)
