[grin]. actually, that is somewhat true. when people complain about the lack of parity in baseball, and hold football up as a standard, they forget that a) football dynasties are still possible and have been achieved recently and b) baseball has the most exclusive playoffs of the major north american pro sports.<br /><br />john: this -<i>But it's also true that the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement were largely fueled by religious conviction. Shouldn't the many commentators warning about the dangers of fusing faith and politics have to account more seriously for the possibility that what they are proposing would have choked these movements off?

It takes away from New Years day bowl games that the biggest games are still to come, and it takes away from the "national championship" game that it does not happen on New Year's Day. <br /><br />And when is the Superbowl? May? It's getting to be like hockey -- crappy teams make the playoffs, and the playoffs take a third as long as the season.
