Posted Sunday October 14, 2012, About: The Closer is the Worst Idea for a Position EVER

Using a good closer essentially shortens the game for your opponent... it's like cheating but different.

You say not to introduce 'anything new'?? How about a more tired arm from a starter late in games or wild middle relievers who don't know when or how they'll be used. Having assigned a single player to the closer role ensures focus & commitment to final outs of a game.

Posted Friday September 24, 2010, About: 0-2 Contenders?

I could totally see SanFran keep losing & STILL rally late for a 9-7 division title. In that division there is absolutely no sense of urgency to break away from anyone else... Crabtree has yet to do anything & their D should only get better.

Posted Friday September 24, 2010, About: What happens if Houston wins this weekend?

Even as a Patriots fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Houston take over JerryWorld in February- home state SuperBowl ftw. They look on the road to 12 wins, their opening matchup with Indy reminds me of NCAAF kickoff classics- a big win catapults a team's confidence all the way into winter.

Also, I have Shaub as my backup(!) QB behind Aaron Rodgers LOL... 12 team league some chick dropped him for Alex Smith & I pounced- 4wks ago now.

Posted Friday September 24, 2010, About: NHL Expansion (Kansas City & Seattle)

I think the Coyotes should move to Winnipeg- the team is in utter financial disrepair merely being held up by Betteman visa-vi the 30 team owners. Why not move them? Arizona is not an NHL hotbed just as Vancouver wasn't an NBA hotbed- sure they like the game but they don't appear set to pay for it, 41 home game tickets to sell in a gate driven league.

Florida is the other team I would move right now- to Quebec City if they ever get Private (with a capital P) funding for a new rink... the fanbase is already there & their population is well over what it was when the Nordiques left for Denver.

To add a radical idea- I wouldn't discount/mind a contraction of 4-6 teams... to make the NHL a better product overall by having fewer roster spots for marginal players who right now are playing because of the cap vs. high profile stars (Chicago has strong core of 7-8 guys right now & who else?)
