And NASCAR.

Important that you don't lump them in with actual athletes.

Trump said he thinks the NFL season should start on time. So odds are it wont. I think they should just do a 32 team single elimination tournament. 32 teams tournament could be done in less than 6 weeks so they could start it around the traditional time playoffs would have started. Lot less games would hurt the bottom line but I think the ratings would be off the charts as just about every team has a chance.

They could even do it double elimination style.

32 turns to 16 winners and 16 losers

The 16 winners seed 8 losers those 8 losers face the 8 winners of the previous round of losing competion.

8 winners - seed 4 losers to face the 4 winners in the losers bracket.

4 winners - seed 2 losers to losing bracket

2 winners - send the loser to the losing bracket.

Winners brackets get some bye week time as the losers bracket bloats. So imagine if you would

Week 1 - 32 teams -16 games
Week 2 - 16 winners 8 games 16 losers 8 games
Week 3 - 8 winners 4 games 16 losers 8 games
Week 4 - Losers bracket makeup week 8 winners play 4 games
Week 5 - 4 winners in winners bracket vs. 4 in losers
Week 6 - Losers BRacket Catchup - 4 losers go down to 2
Week 7 - 2 winners play head to head - 2 losers play head to head
Week 8 - Final Elimination game for losers
Week 9 - Finals? Could be the final, could be a shot for the champion of the loser Bracket to win 2 games in a row
Week 10 - Finals part 2 or Pro-Bowl.

That too. Just kind of seemed weird having the finals be with a team that lost in round 1 and/or to have them play another game if the loses bracket team won against the winners bracket team. I think ratings would be off the charts. Every game is a playoff game.

Zito is essentially arguing for double elimination bracket that's use in e-sports fighting games. All it takes is for some team to go on a hot streak after 1 loss.

Which adds a heck of a lot of drama and keeps some fandoms more interested.
