Week 17

It's the last week of the NFL regular season and that's a sad day for true sports fans.

I've never been a fan of the NHL or NBA and thus February and March are rather boring months in my life. I play fantasy football and fantasy baseball, by about the end of February I begin studying for fantasy baseball, however that leaves February with absolutely nothing to do.

There is so much discussion in both football and baseball about restructuring schedules and the number of games teams play. So... Here is what I propose.

Increase the NFL regular season to 18 games, however do not start the games until the same time around mid-September. That way, the NFL regular season will last through mid-January, then playoffs and the Super Bowl last up until mid to late February. MLB wants to add another round of playoffs, I'm all for that. However, there's no reason to add playoffs and extend MLB postseason through mid-November. Who do they think they are: NHL and NBA? We don't need post-season lasting as long as the regular season. Instead, start the MLB season in mid-March leaving two weeks at the end of the season for the extra round of playoffs. This then leaves me with my one month to study fantasy baseball, and I don't have a boring month like February without any sports to watch.

Hint Hint... probably a blog post coming about how much I dislike the month of February.
