The NCAA is in need of reform. I don’t think there’s anybody who would disagree with that. But something this radical isn’t the answer. Can the necessary changes take place without blowing up the entire system? Yes, I believe it can. But they have to give it time to be implemented and work. Sadly, with the current state of college athletics, I’m not sure they’ll be given that time they need. And the system as we know it might be forever changed as a result.
Biogenesis scandal fell today, with Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun being suspended for the remainder of the season. t’s pretty clear that Bonds and Clemens are never getting into the Hall of Fame. Whether you think that’s the right thing or not (I obviously don’t, you can’t pretend the ’90s never happened) isn’t the point. The point is that something else became clear today. Ryan Braun’s never getting a plaque in

positive doping tests by both Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell (as well as those of Jamaican female Olympic medalists Veronica Campbell-Brown and Sherone Simpson). With their positives, the list of fastest sprinters of all-time just had two more asterisks attached to it. And it once again brings up the same questions about Usain Bolt.
‘m, of course, talking about South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, who suggested the U.S. boycott the upcoming Sochi Games because, well I couldn’t really figure out why. He’s mad that Edward Snowden is trying to get temporary asylum in Russia (since it’s evidently their fault a guy with no passport can’t get out of the Moscow airport). He also made some sort of reference about Hitler, said something about Iran, and implied the Russian government only wants the Olympics to spread propaganda (I’m sure that’s exactly what they were thinking six-and-a-half years ago when they won the bid, those evil geniuses. Never fear, Lindsey’s on to ’em!).
I’d love to see a 32-player tournament. 16 from each league. Seed them, set up a bracket, and have at it. That’s 31 episodes, which is perfect for a season of a TV show. The winner gets prize money for his favorite charity. They could do it right before the start of Spring Training and use the same format as the old TV series (nine innings, three outs per player).
Biggest snubs in the NL are:Ryan Zimmerman and Gerardo Parra. They’re not even on the ballot for the Final Vote. No issue with Pedro Alvarez going at third base or Ian Desmond representing Washington on the Final Vote, but no Parra at all is just w
There are many fine broadcasters, as well as some not-so-good ones. So who’s the best of the best? Let’s see. (This list only includes analysts, not play-by-play guys or studio hosts/personalities. Also, I don’t watch golf, college football or the NBA, so those sports have been excluded from this list.)
