Tim Cowlishaw says that the NFL should not expand it's schedule by adding two more games every year.
Cranky Greg couldn't agree more. The NFL season is already too long. What the NFL should do is ditch a couple of the preseason games every year and that would everyone happier except for Jerry Jones and the other owners who like to scam season ticket holders by forcing them to pay for silly little preseason games while the starters are cooling their heels on the bench.
The NBA suffers from way too many games. Cranky Greg used to love the NBA and the Dallas Mavericks and the Magic-era Lakers, but really the NBA season is really just a waste. Almost all of the teams end up in the playoffs, and the playoffs drag on forever. It's the middle of summer before the NBA season is over! Watching the NBA in June is just not fun. The NBA needs to dispose of a couple of rounds of playoffs and let the regular season actually mean something.
The same goes for the NHL. Almost all of the NHL teams get into the playoffs, making the regular season largely meaningless. While there is nothing more exciting than NHL playoff games, they seem to just drag on. Cut out some rounds of playoffs, make the regular season mean something, and make the NHL exciting and relevant again.
Baseball is guilty of this, too. Cowlishaw points out that the World Series will not end this year until NOVEMBER! That is crazy. Baseball season should end on Labor Day weekend and then the playoffs should start. Everything should be over by early October.
Too many games!
