Shortened Seasons

I hope the NFL stays with the 16 game schedule. Just think how much better the NBA/NHL product would be with a 60 game regular season. It will never happen because of money, but I have been a long time advocate of shortening seasons and contraction in professional sports.

Here is a lengthy, but very good article on the subject. With the exception of the NFL it seems we are coming to a crossroads in professional sports in this country.

Baseball needs to shorten its season. There's no reason for the postseason to go into late October/early November when the nation is football crazy. Have the playoffs in September when the weather is better and football is still in its early stages.
