1. Tom Brady is overrated- he's certainly good but the whole best ever is laughable to me. To me he may not even be in the top ten all time of QB's
2. Lebron James is already the second best ever and will probably pass MJ- I don't think people will ever recognize him as better, though, because MJ is sort of a folk legend and ESPN did a good job convincing people that Lebron wasn't clutch, and people will always hang on to that
3. NBA playoffs are ALOT better than March Madness. It's not really close for me
4. Football is doing the right thing by being extra cautious with player safety- and no the fact that they get paid millions to play a game isn't justification to allow certain hits just so the fans will be happy


I came here for these.

Lebron is the 2nd best already, and he's still in his prime. He'll surpass Jordan. Maybe not to people who were around for the Jordan fanfare, but if you take the emotion and nostalgia out, Lebron already has a case.

I do think the NFL is trying to do some mad PR work by going over the top on safety issues, but these players need some protection. Any hit that could end a player's career or well-being isn't good for anyone, the fans, players, or league. They also need protection from head injuries. It's sad to see a physical freak of nature turned into someone lost on the corner with no pants because their brain is Campbell's soup. I'm assuming this happened at least once.

1)I like tie games better than overtimes in football, under the current overtime formats. Play 1 5 minute overtime period.
2)There should be a moratorium on FBS football conferences, but not teams, and the winner of every conference should get a spot in a playoff.
3)Don't like Peyton Manning since he was an ungracious loser in the super bowl. Not shaking hands with the Saints was ridiculously bad form.
4)NFL has the perfect league size, scheduling format and playoff format.
5)In closed economies, revenue sharing and cost controls work better than attempts at free market because there can be no free market when your economy is closed. The NFL does both, the most successful college conferences revenue share. MLB should as well.
