A Bad Idea About the Schedule.

Many callers on sports talk shows come up with some crazy ideas. Today, I heard one of the dumbest.

This person wanted the NFC and AFC to only play games within their respective conferences. He was looking to go back to the pre-merger days when the AFL played its own schedule.

He was using this illustration to emphasis his thoughts about inter-league play in baseball. I like the idea of inter-league play. It allows fans to see teams they never would have before.

To think that the AFC and NFC would never play each other is a step in the wrong direction. It's too bad that the logistics of the schedule keep some Divisions from facing each other only every few years.
