Simmons' pod with Jim Lampley was very good. I think Lamps gets forgotten a bit because HBO, & the fact that he's not among some 21st century wave of semi comedic sports personalities who try too hard.

Here's my latest NHL breakdown that could exist in 20yrs... Eastern Conference Maurice Richard Northeast Division Montreal Ottawa Quebec City Toronto Maple Leafs Bobby Orr Northeast Division Boston Buffalo Detroit Columbus Mark Messier Atlantic Division New Jersey New York Islanders New York Rangers Washington Mario Lemieux Atlantic Division Florida Philadelphia Pittsburgh Tampa Bay Western Conference Bobby Hull Central Division Chicago Minnesota Toronto Waxers Winnipeg Joe Sakic Central Division Colorado Dallas Nashville St. Louis Wayne Gretzky Pacific Division Calgary Edmonton Seattle Vancouver Luc Robitaille Pacific Division Anaheim Las Vegas Los Angeles San Jose Each geographic division combo plays the exact same number of games between one another (i.e. the Leafs & Wings don't become strangers, the Penguins & Flyers aren't merely stuck with the Floridian teams, etc) so as never to cull long term rivalries. The top 2 teams from each division play one another in the 1st playoff round, then play the winning team from their cousin geographic division, etc until the east v west Final. Las Vegas receives its first big 4 team. Hurricanes become Quebec Nordiques. Coyotes become Seattle Rainiers. Toronto Waxers are born into the western conference to both appease the Leafs & to carve their own unique identity & culture.

As an FSU fan, the less than superb post Miami/VATech/etc era hasn't actually been all that bad, & I don't simply mean because of a national championship. In effect, FSU has remained a bit of an island unto itself, or dare one says an Independent. They're the big fish in that smaller pond, & they've not been penalized much for it. Sure, ppl can claim that a single loss could kill a season... & yet their ridiculous annual rankings prove that it works both ways - having a bit of a more manageable schedule, with all due respect, keeps them in the title picture on an annual basis. So too for Miami if they could figure it out. If FSU went to the SEC or Big 12 or absurdly the Big 10, they'd become trapped in a land of parity. Sure they could lose 2-3 games a year & look strong... but they'd be doing that with at least another half dozen+ to compete in what remains a land of human & computer rankings. If today's Tennessee or Texas A&M or Penn State ever fell into the ACC, I'd argue they might find easier paths to the title picture. But then again, the ACC trails in tv & money & all that jazz... which as these slew of posts & links have shown trumps all & thus my entire rant invalid.

No. Alas, I'm in the minority on that ship. Personally it looks Arena'esque.
