One of the great things about sports is that every week fans are provided with a plethora of new topics to think about and discuss. Along with my other posts, starting today, and continuing every Sunday for the foreseeable future, I am going to supply my readership with an opportunity to peer inside my oversized cranium and take a peek at what I’m mulling over.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

or them to go into the NFL. They do not focus too heavily on character development (see "Cincinnati Bengals") in the NFL.
What's the point then, what will work? I don't know, but I do know that forcing players to go to college does not force them to grow up and be the mature players that David Stern wants to have representing the league. The system of NBA recruitment and scouting is broken, and it only gets worse at the game's lower levels. Forcing young basketball players to go to college to cure the NBA's attitude problem is a lot like putting a band-aid on a sucking chest wound, sure you "made" an effort to fix the problem, but what's been done is to small and too narrow to cure what really ails basketball once and for all.
