Dead Blog posts, Big 12 is in trouble. Suggestion time.

 

The Big 12 is dying, again. This time Texas and Oklahoma are leaving to go to the SEC.

An proposal for the NBA

A few years ago, the NBA changed the All-Star game's format from East/ West to one where the captains pick their teams. There has also been talk of changing the playoff format also. While I think that the NBA should keep the East/West format. The fact is that the East/ West format can seem arbitrary. In the past, the NFL's NFC one had Arizona and Dallas in the East with Atlanta, Carolina, St Louis, and New Orleans in the West. The AFC once had Indianapolis in the East and Baltimore in the Central. The NHL at one time named it's divisions and conferences after people. That lasted for years. So maybe the NBA needs some change. I propose one here.

2019 wish list

This are somethings that I wish to happen in sports next year.

How to expand the college footbal playoff to ten teams.

Only slightly worse than the current system

In a past post, I suggested that the NCAA should expand the college football playoff to eight teams with the power five champions each getting a bid, the best group of five champion getting a bid with two wildcards. I think that my earlier idea would be a good idea, if the NCAA acutally had enough power and guts to try it but it likely will not happen. Truth be told, I don't want it to happen. The reason why I oppose it is because it is another stopgap. It appeases the power conferences who are the problem. So I have decided to share a true plan to fix the playoff.

My All time NBA starting five

Jerry West, GM of the All Time starting five

I have noticed that certain individuals have been posting their all time NBA starting five so I decided to make a list. This list was done quickly, why? Simple, because it was obvious. This is the correct list, all other different lists are wrong.

The NCAA FBS pecking order

It is that time of year. A time when people choose with teams who will have a chance to become FBS National Champion. The current playoff system started in 2014. It replaced the BCS. Teams are decided by people based on many factors, records, schedule and conferences. Today I am writing about the conferences. This post will reveal the current FBS conference pecking order.

This is a important factor in determining if your team even has a chance. The fact is that their are certain teams who will never have a chance. Those teams could go undefeated and they would not get in. Now the order

It's time Grizz, the Parsons experiment has failed.

 

Chandler Parson missed another game last night. Parsons joined the Grizzlies as a free agent in the summer of 2016. He sighed a four year max contract for 94 million dollars. He has played in total of 73 games, this includes the three that he has played in these season. His signing was viewed as a great move that showed that the Grizzlies were willing to spend money. Now, it is a contract that has to go.

What should the NCAA do?

This post is based on several thoughts that I have had about the NCAA. It will jump around. Click to see more.

What should the T-wolves do?

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a train wreck. How to fix it.

1. Fire Tom Thibodeau, 
1. Butler is his guy, 
2. He refuses to trade Butler
3. Has too much power
2. Trade Jimmy Butler
3. Trade Karl Antony Towns
4. Trade Andrew Wiggins 
5. Transfer Scott Layden
6. Hire a true General Manager, Layden answers to Thibodeau.
7. Hire a coach to just coach
8. And most important of all, Draft Well
9. Also BURN THOSE UGLY GREEN UNIFORMS 

Kill it with fire!!

Open Letter to Seattle NBA fans

    Dear Seattle NBA fans:

   I am writing this letter in order to ask that one of you buys the Clippers. As you all know Donald Sterling is no longer selling the team. While I don't care if he does, the fact is the Clippers being terrible is normal, this is a chance for you guys to get a team. Donald Sterling is angry and seems to want to get back at the NBA. That and maybe three billion dollars could convince him to sell the team to a group of you. The NBA clearly wants to make a statement by keeping a team out of your city. Last year, you were denied the Kings. Seattle, this is your chance, don't listen to people who say that this is impossible.

                                                                                               Best Regards:
                                                                                                               MSF

Seattle, only you can end this madness.

My Thoughts about Delany's NCAA Reform Plan

  

Above is a plan by Jim Delany to reform the NCAA it calls for:

• Creation of a Educational Trust, that allows former student-athletes to return to school after their playing careers are over. 
• Time commitments, to allow student-athletes to be "full time students"
• Focusing on at risk student-athletes, 
• Miscellaneous expenses, paying the student-athletes.

How to fix the Lakers

Help! We can't swim, & tell Celine Dion to stop singing!

  The Lakers lost to the Cavaliers tonight. Right now there is a lot of panicking among Laker fans. The Lakers are 9-12 and are the laughing stock of the NBA. Mike D'Antoni's system isn't doing well, the Lakers aren't playing with energy and are playing very poor defense. Something has to be done, the problem is the Lakers have already fired one coach and Phil Jackson would have to be insane to take over now. Plus Steve Nash is a D'Antoni guy and plays well under his system. So D'Antoni should be allow to coach some games with Nash as the point guard. Pau Gasol is also hurt, which makes it really hard to trade him.

  Something has to be done and here is what must be done. Jim Buss must be removed from the decision making position. He is the one who ran off Phil Jackson, hired Mike Brown, then hired D'Antoni in order not to rehire Phil Jackson. I am not a Phil Jackson guy, but he has 11 rings and knows how to turn talented teams into champions. Phil could be the coach now except Buss doesn't like him. So we have to deal with coaches that we aren't sure about. It also should be noted that he hired Brown instead of Brian Shaw, without consulting Kobe in order to establish that he was the Boss. He was also Andrew Bynum biggest supporter and blocked the team from trading him. Once it became clear that they could get Dwight Howard, he finally caved but even then he had to be convinced. This is Jim Buss' team and it is 9-12. It is time for Buss to pay the price. He tried and failed, it's time to let his sister, Jeanie Buss run the team. I am not saying that he should be fired, just transferred to a non basketball related position.

  Also, it is time to trade Pau Gasol while people believe that the injury is the problem. Pau is soft and weak mentally, it is time to trade him before teams figure that out. The Lakers need to trade him while they can still get a starting level player for him.

Not sports related: Avengers vs X-Men is finally over

 Last Wednesday, Avengers vs X-Men or AvX ended.The results were as I predicted. An X-Men victory, OK a Phoenix five victory, really it was a Cyclops victory, alright I admit it Cyclops got beatdown in the final issue BUT, HE WAS RIGHT!!! Hope became the Phoenix, was in control and undid M-Day. That being said Professor X is dead. Killed by Cyclops and his glow of death.

Two years in: The Losers in my opinion.

From being a respected coach & a top college D1 players, to both having to sneak out of town.

 Last Saturday, I looked back at people & things which have done well. Today I look at the ones that did poorly.

Reb is gone & replaced with a rebel black bear. Football & Basketball is down,

Two years in: The winners in my opinion

 Two years ago today, I decided that the microblog known as twitter was not quite good enough when it came to getting my thoughts across. So I started this small blog & Two years later it remains.While its viewers stats are low it remains. Few people knows that it is even around, but it still remains. Now come a look back before we head into year 3. In this post we will look at the winners.

Really, You have a problem with the NFL, NOW !?!?

 On September the first 2006, Roger Goodell became NFL Commissioner. Over his time as NFL Commissioner Goodell, the NFL rules have changed in ways many people dislike. He has enraged the NFLPA with his fines and suspensions. He led the owners in a lockout of the players just last year. He has been judge, jury and executioner when issuing punishments to players, coaches, GM and owners. Appeals are made to him.

Penn St Football, What should be done?

 Last week the results of the Freeh report were announced. It confirmed what many of us feared. Joe Paterno knew what Sandusky was doing & covered it up.With this announcement several people have now called for Penn St to receive the death penalty. I agree with them. Yet, Penn St football keeps going on. The statue & buildings named after Paterno have kept there names. I still feel that Penn St needs to take Paterno's name off of everything. He should be like Chris Benoit in WWE, nobody can see anything with him in it & his name is not spoken.

No Impart Wrestling

  Directv & Viacom have reached a impasse over money. Which means no Viacom channels like the MTVs, VH1, Nicks & no Spike TV. No Spike TV means no Impact Wrestling or TNA as I still call it, for me. This means no Eric Bischoff & his son on TV instead of wrestlers. No Dixie Carter & AJ Styles having an affair helping a young woman. No more watching to see if Jeff Hardy is sober. Seeing a 4 sided ring, & no watching Abyss' "brother" fighting Bully Ray. I like many others don't know what I shall do. However this impasse is important. Directv keep up the fight even if Viacom never gives up. It will be hard but it is necessary. So keep up the fight we will just have to learn to miss stuff like Garrett Bischoff getting to learn how to wrestle in major storyline. Miss Chris Daniel & Kaz imply stuff that is clearly fake. But we shall learn.

The Truth comes out, Penn State emails

  Last Friday, CNN ran a story about emails from February 2001 between then Penn St president Graham Spainer, AD Tim Curley & Senior VP Gary Schultz. The emails are the 3 men talking about how to deal with Jerry Sandusky. After learning what Mike McQueary told Joe Paterno. In the early emails it seems that the 3 men are going to report Sandusky. Then that changes. Curley sends Spainer & Schultz emails suggesting that they handle the McQueary report internally. Most disturbing part is that it seems that the cover up might have been Joe Paterno's idea. Curley instead suggests that they confront Sandusky tell him what they know, & force him to get professional help. Here is the story below.

The Big Johnnny Era ends

  Two weeks ago this Sunday, the John Laurinaitis as GM storyline ended at the WWE No Way Out PPV. This happened after John Cena defeated the Big Show. After the match Vince McMahon fired Laurinaitis, & then Cena gave him a AA. The next night on Raw He then got 3 AAs & was pinned by Cena, after both Big Show & David Ortunga abandoned him. Thus ending the reign of Laurinaitis who was also known as Johnny Ace, Big Johnny, & Road Warrior Animal's younger brother. I am going to take a look back at the Big Johnny Era.
