Playoff misery
Long before I got an iPod and stopped listening to the radio in my car, I loved listening to Frank Deford's sports commentary on NPR. He appeals to my inner curmudgeon, talking about the aspects of sport that don't get talked about on the frat-boy sports network ESPN. When NPR started making its segments available for download I immediately subscribed to Frank Deford's feed and I still get my weekly curmudgeon allowance.
Frank's latest piece echoes a sports frustration that I have had over the years - the fact that the NBA and NHL "playoffs" feature more than half the teams in the league. Some seasons even feature teams with records under .500 - how can you get into a playoff when you lose more games than you win? The owners can't be worried about gate revenues - a losing team won't make it past the first round, so at best you only get three playoff games more. Why not just extend the regular season to have five more regular season home games instead?

I have a question that I wasn't sure who else to ask. On the Daily Breakfast, you say this is so and so and they sound like so and so. If I wanted to find someone that sounded like Amy Winehouse, but not foul, how could I go about doing that? Thanks for the couple minutes.
Hey Colin, I hear you all the time on the Daily Breakfast. Why don't you have a link to the SQPN site so people can learn more about that and listen to you at the Daily Breakfast when leave bits of the Music Man segments? How can we hear more of the Music Man segments by the way??? Do you have a site that has links to your segments for the show? I want to learn more about some of the artists you have written about. Thanks Sue
