He just wants to be courted like every other guy who goes through the FA process. Don't see him giving up all that extra money LA can give him unless he honestly thinks he can win a ring with the Spurs. ...

re: Wouldn't an eight team playoff just shift the controversy down a few rankings?

Posted by Aldo Raine on 11/28/16 at 7:40 pm

I'd go with a 6 team playoff where 1 and 2 get a bye. Even though it lets two more teams in, it also rewards the top 2 teams a little more than the others. 5 conference champs and 1 at large. Doesn't devalue the regular season as much as an 8 team tourney and places huge emphasis on the champ...

re: Has there ever been a more uninspiring NASCAR season than this one?

Posted by Aldo Raine on 11/7/16 at 6:45 pm

The chase is a dumb way to select a champ, especially the winner take all in Homestead. I think the bigger problem is the way the rules are constantly changing to promote parity. You get races at these 1.5 mile tracks where everybody just sort of rides around with very little passing. I'd rather...

[quote]76 wins vs. 200 wins. No...I don't think you can.[/quote] Perfect example of the different era argument. Petty won a lot of races at a time where there were multiple races on the same weekend which diluted the competition (also over 60 per season). Many of those races were even on dirt....
