I've always wondered why other sports don't make more changes to actually compete with the NFL and I guess it's because it would just piss a lot of people off.

The true fans of the sports are going to want to have all those games and believe that is the best way to know who had the best team. That also messes with the tradition of the game in regards to Hall of Fame, career points, and other things.

But, in reality, these multiple games really devalues the product. I've watched the NBA enough to know people aren't really trying in the first few quarters. They might crank it up in the 4th, but things don't really get going until the playoffs. You can't say that about football; the games are too important. If there were only 30 games, I would be way WAY more interested in following the wizards every game, since I know that each game was more important. Now, if I might watch 10 a year, but that is usually just because i see it's on t.v.
