Huh?
Huh?
Yeah, see, they had a different number of teams, dot dot dot
I agree. Look at the Dodgers ongoing commitment to helping the Angels build a fanbase by continually raising the cost of going to Dodger Stadium while simultaneously being off most LA TV screens for going on a decade now.
It was unbalanced once for sixteen years and once for fifteen. So I guess yes, technically that’s decades. Doesn’t mean it should go back, or ever would. Imagine the crying if one of the divisions had to add the Astros or Brewers, instantly a contender in any division.
Because TRADITION, don’t you know.
Also not without problems. Should it be a four-team division? Two sevens? How about the other league, two eight-team divisions or one with six? How do you even out the in-division schedules with divisions that wonky? Does somebody play their rivals 25 times each?
It would take millions away from the teams that actually sell tickets. So whether you or I think the season could use trimming, it ain’t gonna happen.
See my second reply to Straight Cache. New teams aren’t happening any time soon.
That would mean diluting the revenue-sharing pot until and unless those teams could contribute more than a 30th of the value to massive new TV money. So don’t hold your breath, the biggest unserved markets are outside the top 20 in TV audience. And in a lot of cases like Portland and Vegas, existing teams will fight…
Damn, I read that take without a welding mask and now I’ll be seeing afterimages all day.
They can’t get rid of interleague play. There are 30 teams, 15 in each league. Without interleague play, one team would have to sit home every single weekend. Meaning they would have to either cut the schedule to 150-ish games or extend the season by weeks.
So, NBA collusion to send washed up players to the Lakers to fuck with Jerry and the Clippers.
You know Jerry’s not with the Lakers, right?
I’m not against the occasional conspiracy theory, but after Chris Paul, Paul George, and Kawhi all ended up elsewhere you think the league is colluding for the Lakers?
Trust the Process, Hannibal.
One of the single greatest villains in human history. Bye, motherfucker. Wish I believed in hell.
Stick to politics, Barry. Nobody wants to read about a team that wasn’t good enough for Philly or KC.
It’s what Conor Mcgregor’s corner tells him when he’s losing a fight. “Rally, idiot!”
Let’s be clear: If Hillary runs, Trump will be re-elected. For sure, 100%, take it to the bank, guaran-goddamn-teed.
