Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

And the mlb has problems of their own with way too many strikeouts and lack of offense. But long term manfreds desire for NY/LA media markets is going to destroy the game. The way LA has built a superteam off deferred contracts is gonna be really bad for the game for a while.

Cheating scandal? Who cares? I just assume most of the organizations are cheating or bending the rules in some way anyway.

There’s also nothing he’s gonna do that is gonna prevent major markets from dominating baseball as long as there is no salary cap (and there won’t be considering the power of the MLBPA).

I’m mainly worried about the watchability of that sport and he’s taken significant steps to fix it.

They made sure Minnie won. They have been pushing her hard the past few years.

Those NFL games were uncompetitive trash today compared to that Lakers/Warriors game (and likely always will be if the NFL keeps doing them on weekdays) but I have no doubt the ratings will be there.

Basically always was outside of a Finals run where he was the MVP of your washed team when they beat the Celtics. You should be grateful to him.
