Well HOFFBL fans, today we delve into philosophical grounds.
The question asked it: What motivation is there to do well, if you cannot win it all?
To reiterate the point, if you have no chance of making the playoffs or advancing even if you do, why would you want to try to win more games than you loose, and end up with a worse draft pick?
All seasons end up as a tale of two cities, there tends to be no middle class, no fight, and no need to take advantage of getting slightly better with a trade, as if you cannot win it all, what the point in competing. With less teams competing, it makes it easier for one team to run away per division.
As one of 26 owners I thought of several suggestions to give to the commish, unfortunately in each case I realized anything that caused people to want to be a tad better would make those that were the best even better in an unfair way.
IDK maybe there needs to be a reward to finish above 500, but waved by anyone that makes the playoffs. enough of a reward that it's worth taking part in the frenzy to get better.
this has been an editorial from WTBS with a reminder that the #1 song in the land from 3/22/80 - 4/12/80 was something about not needing thought control
