    NBA punishes Clippers for evading the salary cap. (i suspect a lot of teams have done the same thing the clippers did)

    Adjacent to that, I’ve been thinking that the NFL – in pursuit of more money – is risking the popularity of the sport. I am fairly certain that they have more standalone games this season than ever before. And I see a future in which Wednesday and Friday games become more common. And the networks will pay for that. Netflix is broadcasting football now fer crissakes.

    But one of the drivers of football’s popularity is its comparative rarity in contrast to other sports which have games every day. Football will still draw more viewers because there are only 17 games per team, but if I can watch football practically every day, I’m just not going to. Maybe that’s not really that different from what exists, though, since there are currently a bunch of games I CAN’T watch because they’re concurrent. I don’t know. But it seems to me that they’re diluting the product, to say nothing of consumer fatigue at having to subscribe to multiple premium outlets in order to watch the games.

    I just think that they may be milking the cash cow a little too hard.

    Famous NBA gambler (won over 100 million on the NBA) discovered a secret that allowed him to win. It involves the fact that the visiting team chooses which basket it wants in the first half…

    A strange thing happened in MLB this year. Of the 8 teams in the playoffs, THREE are in what-i-call the bottom tier. (20-30). The Cleveland Guardians (when did they change their name?) are LAST, with a 79 million dollar payroll. Dodgers are first, spending 380 million on players.

    Interesting.

    I still maintain its a ridiculous league. The Guardians cannot ‘maintain’ a good team, year after year, with that payroll. The top-tier teams can just roll out super-teams year after year.

    Still, the Guardians deserve a ton of credit. Their top players will all be poached by other teams now.

    Top Tier
    Dodgers 1st
    Yankees 3rd
    Braves 6th
    Padres 9th

    Mid Tier
    Brewers 19th

    Bottom Tier
    Rays 23rd
    White Sox 26th
    Clev.Guardians 30th
