It’s not that hard. You get MLB’s general counsel on the phone with the general counsel of every franchise to deliver some version of this message:

Dear MLB/Commish Manfred,

The NFL offseason thinks that seasons 4-7 of Lost are “very under appreciated.”

The NFL offseason says “raising awareness” without a hint of irony.

The NFL offseason read Jim Cramer books in like, 2013.

The NFL offseason drinks 64 oz. Big Gulps of Diet Coke because it’s “trying to lose some weight.”

The NFL offseason was an extra on the Simpsons.

The NFL bought investment property in Henderson, NV.

Saying “Highlight of the NFL offseason” is like saying “Refreshing moment of candor from Charles Krauthammer.”

There is no sports-related thing less interesting or consequential than an NFL trade in March. No amount of Adam Schefter declaring “blockbuster” will alter that reality.

Thanks for your informative there opinion, “P Rock.” Isn’t there a Kid Rock concert somewhere that you’re missing?

The only reason boxing DIDN’T die after Duk Doo Kim died after a televised bout is becauseof boxing’s historical legacy and significance in the public consciousness. But it’s STILL recovering from that incident, nearly 35 years later.

When someone DOES get killed doing this, all your glitter covered Affliction T-shirts are going to make you look even stupider than they do now..

The referee was standing two to two and a half strides away from the fighters in a close exchange when one was clearly beginning to press the advantage. He was also starting to stake a step BACKWARDS when the end came. The failure to anticipate I’d what cost the fighter those extra shots. And yes, I could have stopped…

He was instantly and unmistakably out as soon as the first shot landed. Look at the way his whole body immediately goes limp. That reaction is what a competent referee is looking for above all else. The last three shots—any of which could have killed or permanently injured—the fighter were completely unnecessary. This…

Someone is going to die in a televised MMA contest in this exact scenario. It’s going to happen. This was gross negligence by the referee; but it escapes scrutiny only because grossly negligent late stoppages are the norm in MMA. This is because of an ethos in MMA promotional outfits and many fans that values violent,…

Say! Do you think the lack of any accountability in the entire culture of football, much less the actual sport, might have anything to do with why these stories keep materializing?
