What would you do if you invited everyone you've ever slept with to hang out in a room for one hour ? Most people say they'd have some version of The Dundies. Personally I have an elaborate fantasy where there's a soccer match between all the americans I've bedded and all the international guys. The irish guys, scottish guys and english guys would all be finicky about joining up, but they would try to outperform the french guys and probably form an alliance with the australians. Of course, everyone would want to unite against the mericans, who despite being horrible at soccer would try their hardest to annihilate any non americans. There's also a lot of marines on that roster. Plus two russians, one of which speaks no english. He'd probably make for the best referee. Now before I sleep with someone from either side I'm like hmmm would he be a good draft pick or would he let the team down ? And I legitimately make decisions based on that. In this fantasy, the winners would win an open bar. And the losers would get like an open bar until 10pm lol. It's made for some excellent picks since tinder sets you up to take your pick from the top 1% of men. I got with a michelin starred chef, a world-record breaking olympic swimmer, and also a guy who looked like a hemsworth brother, but was blind. (There has got to be a punch line in that anecdote somewhere). I'll let you know if the americans or the internationals would win soccer or football once they all get invited mysterious Agatha Christie style to play out what would be the best match of all time. Also idk maybe there could be like a roast at the end for all the intellectual guys I used to be into. My confidence level is definitely at "could laugh at my own roast." xo Noelle
I think you hit the nail on the head in the last paragraph. The sample size (season) is too small for the regular season winner to be really considered the "best" in the NFL. I think the title would be more meaningful in the MLB, NBA, or NHL.
Having binged Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham in the last 6 months (and previously having not cared about English "football"), the one aspect I'd love to see in American sports is the idea of promotion and relegation. Baseball is primed for it with different levels of minor leagues. Imagine the Cinderella story of your Hartford Yard Goats beating the LA Dodgers in the 2034 world series!
I would love relegation and promotion... although that would mean goodbye for the Bears for awhile. While baseball could easily do it, I say no way. I can't see club owners every agreeing to relegate their team to the minors while the Yankees organization suddenly has three teams in the MLB.
Perhaps it would be more palatable if only operated through the minor league baseball teams. It could give some more interest to those leagues and perhaps even "civic pride" to the communities. At the same time, if you were the owner of the Reds, wouldn't you rather have your team playing to win the Champions League instead of doing whatever you've been doing for the last 30 years? I'll let you know when I've got my pitch meeting with the Commish.
