Rey Ordonez could make shortstop look like an acrobat position. He won three straight Gold Gloves from 1997 through 1999, and one of his famous early plays came in his MLB debut with a barehanded, on-the-knees relay. Defense wasn't the quiet part of his game. It was the entire reason people stopped to watch him.

3 things. 4v1 and 3v2 is boring and predictable and people can usually start assuming who they have by week 7. It’s also usually very chalky. These brackets won’t be chalky. Unbalanced regions of 5 teams where you have to win 1 game vs regions of 8-9 teams is 1 unfair, and 2 makes so many games on some teams schedule meaningless. No one wants to see 1-9, 2-8 4 seeds get in. PSR solves all 3.

What I've learned from TV announcers is that quarterbacks don't make any mistakes.

The thing about 24 that bothers me most is… Who is this for? It’s not because TV was begging for it. ESPN had to be convinced. It’s not for a boatload of new cash. Losing conf champ games is gonna make this a minimal gain. It’s not because the 22nd team has any shot at a natty. It doesn’t. It’s certainly not done with the health, safety, or academic success of the players in mind since they don’t even get a say in this. It’s entirely to appease the people donating the money that keeps a financially irresponsible business model afloat. It’s discounting success so schools can say “look what your donation bought.” It’s an industry hellbent on treating investors and bosses as the customer, and customers as an infinite resource that will keep coming back no matter what.

A simple question for @CFBPlayoff expansion. Does more teams = better for ALL teams?

Manny Ramirez hit .312 for his career with 555 home runs and 1,831 RBI, all with a .996 OPS. His 29 postseason home runs and 78 postseason RBI still stand as the AL or NL record.
