Every sport. All year. One league.

Thoughts on the Menu of Sports

At least to start there seems to be some support for having shorter seasons. Herman's suggestion of having Season I end with the all-star game is not bad, except I worry about too much of a gap between the last major sports and the break. Also, Tennis and Golf would be cut in half as well. I think that can be remedied by adding non-majors to the scorable events...maybe even have a rule that every competition is worth something.

These are the sports that I think have the most potential if we assume that the season ends around the all-star break:
Men's College Basketball
NHL
NBA
UEFA
Women's Tennis (Expanded)
PGA (Expanded)

We at least one whacked out sport like senior's sri lankan cricket or we could each draft a SPDR and get points for market flucuations.

    i say...
    champions league is a must
    copa libertadores (champions league of latin america)? begins in jan-feb and ends june-ish


    also, lettuce consider the confederations cup in june, which takes the champions of each continent for a tune-up tourney to the world cup in south africa...
    when is draft?
    i travel on the 30th
    what about the 26th

  6. jeff here...
    push the ufl back to super bowl sunday or pro bowl sunday is my little opinion, and make the ufl like it should be, a full year deal...
    selfishly, i am on the road til mid to late january, but also i think it would be a shame to pick nfl teams when the real playoffs are already set. the super bowl could be the finals of the ufl and if we had a pro bowl sunday draft day we could make it like that every year like clockwork.
    happy christmas !
