Nice 2nd half comeback Your team was the worse conference matchup for me I think, I don't have an answer for your big men.

I was just lucky to have HCA. You were probably the most feared match-up for everyone.

Would've been really interesting had you finished 4th instead of 3rd. I could've seen you beating the Clogs, & maybe making the finals.

I know I am pleased as hell to not have to play your team again. All of the games I lost this season I wasn't going full strength but you almost beat me with my best lineup and extra effort the first game. I don't know who is going up or coming down but I honestly think you might be the favorite to win the whole thing next season.

My 40-58 year olds challenge your 3 worst players to a handicap playoff match. Are you up for it? (waits for viagra/cialis joke)

But really, how about it? Your 3 worst players + 2 fans vs. whatever lineup i can assemble out of sub-$1k players? I'll let you sleep on it... (Saldana, Holman, Druff vs. Sourpis & friends.)

Do you want to keep the result of your game a secret? I won't say anything, just in case.

It's fine, I'd logged off completely for the 2nd half. Not sure if it's the logging in that makes my team worse, or the logging off that makes them better.

Another good 30-30 was the one about the SF earthquake back in '89 at game 3 of the World Series. Brought back memories.

Were you there?
There were quite a few good 30-30s actually. I remember one where Muhammed Ali (with a mustache) was training for a fight in 1980. You could see the Parkinson's symptoms. The footage was great though. Weird to think he was still fighting about 4 years prior to Mike Tyson.

And it would be best if you both went RnG FCP.

I already know how that would play out - Holman would go 1-33 from the field, but Druff and Saldana would do enough to keep me in the game. I'd be down one, you'd foul someone at the buzzer, but it would be a lucky fan who misses both and that's it.

If you're really interested in that experiment I would happily do it in a scrimmage next week, though. I just wish I could have three lucky fans instead of having to include Holman. Hey, maybe if I fire him, I can put in someone better and . . .

I wasn't but my brother was living with our father in Scotts Valley at the time. Luckily, a summer or two before when we were just there for visitation, there had been a minor earthquake and since I was actually old enough when we'd lived in California to start school and learn the earthquake drill routine, I taught him that his instinct to run out the door was not the right thing to do.

I don't really watch 30-for-30, for the most part. I did watch the Reggie Miller one because, well, Reggie. I have fallen out of love with most sports now, and the NBA I stopped caring much about maybe a decade or so ago. I'd still watch Pacers playoff games, and I actually happened to be tuned in on the night that the whole Artest bomb went off in Detroit. Still think that he and Jackson probably cost Reggie his best shot at a title, but as a guy who's been a fan of the Pacers, Chicago Cubs, LA Kings and Jacksonville Jaguars (at least since we got the team here), not having titles to celebrate was a very common theme in my life until a few years ago at least. Now I pretty much don't even watch the playoffs, except I suppose I'll try to keep up if they make it to the second round or beyond.

The only other real 30 for 30 I saw much of was the one about Miami (you know, the school that the players refer to the "U" because that's the longest thing they can spell). The Ali one sounds like it would be interesting though. I hadn't realized that his career came as close to Tyson's as it did - but I always seem to remember Tyson being late 80s and even early 90s and I didn't remember Ali's career really at all so I had assumed it was pre-80s.

May I possibly suggest to the GM's that instead of splitting p/o revenue, every home team receives 200% revenue during p/o (higher markups in p/o tickets are reasonable in reality) and splits with visitors 60-40 or 70-30? This can be an incentive to keep teams from purposely tanking too.

I would love that. See how it goes over in the Suggestions forum.

I'd say suggestions is the right place to put it. I'll also say that there will be a lot of backlash that it is a system that ensures that the best teams stay on top by giving them more money.

I think personally that it's a damn shame that a team that makes the postseason and only plays one game is essentially losing money for doing so. I don't think allowing a team to get the equivalent of two games worth of revenue each week of the postseason is necessarily good either - that may be too far the other way. I'd probably just say that each week you're in the playoffs, you get the revenue equivalent of the maximum money you'd get from your arena given the increased attendance of the playoffs (I'd say a guaranteed sellout but in my Utopia league where I've got 4600 bleachers and 3500 lower tiers, I could set ridiculously high prices and really abuse that system).
