NFL they still don't know what a catch is so replay is pointless.

Tennis is actually the best. You have about 5 seconds to challenge or the umpire will tell you to GTFO. The challenge itself takes about 5 more seconds.
Both MLB and the NHL could fix their review idiocy immediately by adopting the same rule: You have 5-10 seconds at most to inform a referee/linesman/umpire that you wish to challenge after a goal is scored (hockey) or a play completes (baseball). Because that eliminates the ability to delay the game while waiting for a replay, it would bring the rules to their intended purpose: to prevent egregious mistakes.
The CFL is even easier, at least in the context of illegal contact: If it happens away from the play, you can't challenge it. If you try anyway, you get a delay of game penalty.
