Digby Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 28 minutes ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said: As an MLS fan, I'd say that the worst thing about that league's "All-Star Game" is the game. I absolutely do not want to see a league XI against a major club team; I want to see a game between stars of MLS, East vs. West. Friendlies involving big clubs are very nice; but the MLS All-Star Game should be a celebration of MLS. And they have to have days off after the All-Star Game, no matter the format. A full slate of games immediately afterward would keep the best players out of those games; or else it would make those players unwilling to play in the All-Star Game, thereby terribly undermining it. I meant that MLS should take advantage of the open days that follow MLB's All-Star Game, sorry to be unclear. I know there are generally issues with midweek games and I don't like them much myself, but it's a rare opportunity for MLS to be the top sport on the calendar, but the league doesn't seem to see any advantage to it. The MLS All-Star Game is one I care about even less than baseball's, somehow. It seems to exist for its own sake at best, and for some faulty attempt at leaguewide legitimacy at worst.

I hate midweek games, and dream of a schedule that doesnt include them. However, seems to be a necessary evil and as long as they are necessary I agree with you.

JayMac Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This does feel a bit like July on the sports calendar but multiplied by 10. ESPN should be rolling out a marathon of 30 for 30 episodes as well as classic games for all the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NFL Free Agency goes on as scheduled ESPN will devote at least 23 hours each day for a week on Tom Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye on the first weekend of March Madness just to see the upsets, but I lose interest after that. I enjoy watching ST baseball (feel free to ridicule me for that one) so I'll miss that, but the real killer for me is no NASCAR.

The first round is fun for upsets. I then let it go until the Final Four and I'll tune in for the last 5 minutes if the Natty ends up being a competitive game.

Kinda cool actually, it could possibly be the future with how environmentally conscious we are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
