    2 conferences of 17 teams, top 7 in each conference makes the playoffs, no divisions. 

     

    You play 17 games: every team in your conference once (16 games), plus 1 crossover game= 17 games. 

     

    Benefits:

     

    1. No 7-9 or 8-8 team gets to the playoffs for "winning" a cupcake division over a team with a better record

    2. Almost a totally balanced schedule: everyone in the conference plays the exact same schedule, aside from the crossover game. 

    3. When the playoffs begin, you'll have the true top 7 teams in each conference. 

    4. Interconference games would be unique, given that each team would have only 1. However, there could be 1 scheduled each week so there's always an AFC/NFC game on. 

     

    It's not too different from now, where you only play 5 interconference games anyway. It was 4 a year ago. It could be 1. 

     

    The numbers work perfectly for this. 

     

     

     

    I still don't see how New England gets a conditional draft pick out of this system. 🤔

    We have something against the Cardinals because they've already won the Super Bowl. Just ask them.

    I think one was the Roughriders (one word) and the other was Rough Riders (two words)

     

    Could never figure out how the CFL ran out of nicknames and had to double up!

    When the CFL was formed, they were allowed to keep their long-standing names; Ottawa was frequently known as the "Eastern Riders" while Saskatchewan was referred to as either the "Western Riders" or "Green Riders".

    “Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people.”

     

    Why not Edmonton Inuits? 

    After soliciting suggestions for a new team name in November, the green-and-gold-clad team eventually winnowed the options down to seven, all beginning with the letter “E.” In February, those choices were reported to be Eagles, Eclipse, Elements, Elk, Elkhounds, Evergreens and Evergold.

    Unintended “side effects” force LCBO to recall Henderson Brewery’s “Rush” beer from shelves.

     

    Ontario’s LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) announced yesterday that due to widespread customer feedback that the over consumption of Henderson Brewing’s new “Rush” beer, named after the iconic Canadian hard rock trio, led the almost entirely male consumer base to quote Ayn Rand in an unusually ethereal falsetto, air drum with a newfound and inexplicable virtuosity, and show up for work draped in dragon print silk kimono robes, the crown corporation would temporarily be pulling the product from its shelves pending further investigation.

     

    “While no one is disputing Henderson’s claim that the 2021 beverage offers both a ‘deliciously and unnecessarily complicated blend of hops, yeast and spring water,’” said LCBO spokesperson Marissa Rosenthal on Monday, “the internal struggle that drinking this beverage created between a newfound love of trees and a desire to move to a neighboring subdivision was simply too much for some.”

     

    No word yet if a similar fate awaits Henderson’s forthcoming line of Saga Grapefruit Radlers or its Max Webster Cider.

    Take off, hoser!

    I cant believe there was enough of a market to require a potential 5th rounder to get Joe Flacco for 8 games

    When it comes to squandering resources, the Jets put most drunken sailors on shore leave to shame. 😁

    Anyone remember pizza subs?

    I used to work at Mikes Subs in Kenmore, they were such a simple sub to make although initially we just used the microwave, then microwave to melt, toaster oven to finish the crispy sub.

    Delaware Avenue, correct?

    I was an Art's Hoagie Hut customer, mostly due to working right across the street. And subs and hoagies unequalled to this day.  I don't recall a pizza sub on his menu, but there might have been.
