The Draft

Watching it in depth today for the first time in my life, I was struck. Struck dumbfounded. I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing. Was it a joke? Was it some kind of Dave Chappelle sketch? No this was real. A real slave trade at that. Compare what you remember and what has been recorded about the slave trade. An owner brings his set of slaves before an audience. He proclaims their physical prowess, their long term worth to your organization, that they have a family and that the family comes with it. They are worth a certain amount of money, but that is negotiable as well. They could be traded to another owner without that person's consent. So they are being sent to a place not of their choosing for only their physical skills and paid a slaves wage.

Stop saying these things:

'It's a marathon, not a sprint." It's both. It's a marathon and a sprint. Get it right.

Using single people's names in the plural form. 'The Rob Johnson's of the game'. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Stop doing it. It makes you look stupid and ignorant.

Here is the solution to the NCAA Football championship.
1) All teams play 11 or 12 games with the 12th game being the conference championship if necessary.
2) All regular season games must end by Nov 30. Playoffs begin first weekend in December with the top 32 teams however they are selected. Conference champions and at Large bids.

First round at drops the teams to 16 - 4 sites that each host 4 games
2nd round drops the teams to 8 - 4 sites that each host 2 games
3rd drops the teams to 4 - 2 sites
4 round drops the teams to 2

Games during the playoffs are held at the major sites they are held now: Pasedena, Glendale, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, New York

Championship game in the 1st weekend in January at the NFL stadium which will hold the SuperBowl.

No seven week layoffs between the games and the national championship.
