I support replay, as long as the following things are changed:

1.) Make every play/call reviewable.

2.) No challenge flags. Coaches shouldn't be able to challenge plays -- only the officials. A challenge shouldn't be part of a coach's "strategy".

3.) Remove the on-field officials from the replay equation. Have special officials designated for replay reviews (probably located in a booth with TVs).

4.) Make the calls overturned only by indisputable evidence. I know they say that's what they do, but I don't buy it. Too many times have I seen reversals from questionable footage.

5.) Show the fans the replays that the officials see. If a play is reversed by a replay, the fans have the right to know what footage was evidence for the reversal.
