DEATH OF THE NBA  

The NBA has been bleeding viewers for a few seasons and it appears the numbers are starting to snowball. The league is aware of it but seem to be clueless as how to reverse coarse. 

As someone who programmed radio station for years, I believed in three fundamentals. One, find our what my listeners wanted and give it to them which meant doing on going focus groups and auditorium music tests. Two, being consistent every day and make sure we were living up to our listeners expectations. Three, if we saw a decline in the numbers, we went back to the basics and began working outwards again. 

The NBA is no different than any other business, and they are failing miserably on all three of the fundamentals I mentioned. The league needs to speak to it's fans and find out what they're getting wrong and fix it. Most fans have an opinion on why they have stopped watching the games. 

I can tell you from my perspective, the NBA is doing a magnificent job of keeping fans from watching the games. There is no reason for the NBA to block out home games for NBA teams they carry. They block a lot of fans from seeing sponsors ads by doing this and IMO it's a disservice to their clients. I understand there are subscription services who make money from charging fans to watch games, but it's miniscule the number of fans who will pay to watch games. There are times when local teams are blocked out on ESNP or TNT too. The end game is, if you don't pay to watch at home, you won't see  very many games. Greed is a major issue the NBA wants seems to be blind to. 

The games themselves have become 3-point shots and dunks. There is no strategy being employed anymore and forget about defense. It's playground basketball and the players aren't very good at it. As a whole, teams combined miss almost 6 or 7 out of 10 3 point shots. Long misses leads to fast break dunks. The majority of fans I speak with all say the same thing. I tune in to watch the last five minutes if it's close. 

I'm never one to present a problem without offering a solution. My feeling is the NBA needs to implement a new three point rule. Teams are forbidden to shoot from 3 unless the find themselves down by 15 points in a game. This will keep allow teams to get back into game faster and makes it more interesting. We'll get to see more one on one, pick n' roll, pick n' pop, and back to the basket type of basketball. If a team falls behind by 15, then they can start chucking three's to get back in the game but once they cut the lead to 8, the rule reestablishes itself. It freshens the game up a bit.  

At the end of the game, more than anything it's the greed surrounding the NBA that's the major problem. To start, stop blacking out teams playing on NBA TV, ESPN and TNT. Let the fans who can't or won't pay to see the games watch. Do it for your advertisers but mainly do it for the fans.

 WHAT NFL TEAM HAS SCORED THE MOST TOUCHDOWNS IN HISTORY?

(See The Answer Below)

SURVIVE AND ADVANCE

 The NCAA College Playoff Selection Committee has done their job and we now know the 12 teams vying for the National Championship. 

Here are the National Playoff Rankings. 

1 Oregon 

2 Georgia

3 Boise State

4 Arizona State

5 Texas

6 Penn State

7 Notre Dame

8 Ohio State

9 Tennessee

10 Indiana 

11 SMU

12 Clemson 

Teams 5-12 will play in the first round and the winners will move on to round to to play the teams ranked 1-4. 

First Round

Clemson Vs Texas

Tennessee Vs Ohio State

SMU Vs Penn State

Indiana Vs Notre Dame 

First Round Bye

Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, Arizona State 

Moving Georgia into second place over Notre Dame should be full for the Fighting Irish who in my mind did the work to deserve a first round bye but the Selection Committee penalized Notre Dame for not being in a conference. It should be Georgia playing Indiana in the first round but it is what it is and the first 12 team playoff field is set to roll with the first games happening on Friday, December 20th. 

Friday 12.20

Indiana @ Notre Dame

Saturday 12.21

SMU @ Penn State

Clemson @ Texas

Tennessee @ Ohio State

 LEBRON'S NOT LEAVING  

Reports surfaced this week suggesting LeBron James could be traded and one of the teams on the radar was Golden State paring James with Steph Curry. Granted, it's challenging to come up with compelling content to write about on a regular basis, but there should be some journalistic integrity involved and not just making stuff up to have something to write about. As far as I'm concerned it's all clickbait material because 95% of what's written by the outsiders pretending to be insiders never materializes. 

First of all, LeBron James loves Los Angeles. I live in Los Angeles, and there is no city in the United States that has it all like Los Angeles. He's established here and has a lot of outside interests that requires him to be in Los Angeles. Why would he leave? He's stated he's not interested in leaving but improving the Lakers current roster. 

Does Golden State really need a nearly 40 year old player in the twilight of his career when he is one blown Achilles away from taking a seat for the money involved? LeBron James has a lot of miles on his legs and while he's super fit, it's more likely to happen to a 40 year old player than someone in their 20's. 

At this point in the season, it doesn't make sense for this type of move to take place. Maybe the two teams will look at it before the NBA trade deadline, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'd have a better chance of winning a condo on the moon over looking the Sea of Tranquility with two Ferrari's in the garage than LeBron James joining Steph Curry at Golden State.

MOUNT RUSHMORE 

The NBA Mount Rushmore debate is one of the all time great debates in sports. This season, Big 4 Sports is going to go team by team and post their Mount Rushmore. The Presidential Mount Rushmore features four figures, but in typical Big 4 Sports fashion, we're going to change it up a bit. Our Team by Team Mount Rushmore will feature 5 figure heads because an NBA starting lineup features 5 players. 

A new team's Mount Rushmore will be posted every Monday throughout the NBA Season. 

Jerry West- Kareem Abul Jabbar- Magic Johnson- Kobe Bryant- Shaquille O'Neal 

Willis Reed- Walt Frazier- Bernard King- Patrick Ewing- Carmelo Anthony

 THE METS WIN!  

The New York Mets went all in on this off seasons prize free agent Juan Soto. New York gave up $765 million over 15 years which will keep Soto in New York until he is 41. So you don't have to do the math, Soto will earn $51 million per season. 

If you've been around baseball as long as I have, there is no truer statement than players tend to hit the back of their baseball card. Soto is has a career .285 BA, 25 HR, and 74 RBI's after six seasons. Granted he still isn't in his prime which means there is more upside to his career numbers but how much upside still needs to be determined on the field. What Soto accomplished in 2024 with the Yankees was due to who was hitting around him and the fact he was laser focused during a free agent season. I sincerely hope the Mets took this into consideration. Very few players ever play up to their full potential after signing ginormous contracts, but I hope Soto does. 

Two years ago, the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks played in the World Series, with considerably less payroll than the Dodgers and Yankees who battled this year. What stands out to me, is neither the Dodgers or Yankees won 100 games with their huge payrolls. Other MLB teams have been building their franchises through their farm systems and I expect this season we'll see them make even more inroads against the major market clubs.

There are still over 200 potential free agents available as the Winter meetings get underway. How many deals will get done? Do the Mets have enough money to resign Pete Alonzo? What teams will simply fill some of their voids. What teams will pick up the players with club options? There is still a lot of moving parts to be shuffled before spring training starts in late February.

SULLIVAN SITUATION   

Since calling for Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan's head a few weeks ago, the Pens have been playing a better brand of hockey. Over their past 10 games as of 12.9.24, Pittsburgh is 6-3-1, so I'm going to call off the dogs for now. 

Trading a draft pick for Nashville Predator Center Phillip Tomasino seemed to have breathed new life in to the Pens. Tomasino was a first round pick by Nashville in 2019 and didn't live up to expectations. However, a change of scenery can be a good thing and so far, Tomasino has been playing his best hockey. 

Overall the Pens are still one game under .500 and 12 points out of first place in the Metropolitan Conference just one game out of the playoffs. It appears for now, the Pens are on the right track but it will be up to Sullivan to keep the team on track. In the movie Animal House, Faber University President Dean Wormer, put the Delta House on double secret probation, whatever that is, but that's where Mike Sullivan is and should be with the organization. Anything less than a play off birth after 82 games will save his job.
