    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.

    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.
