I'll play devil's advocate here: I think that the long seasons give teams chances to truly show who they are (or reveal who they aren't) particularly in baseball, which has always been a slow-paced, thinking man's games. If we had ended the 07 baseball season after 80 or 90 games, the Rockies would have never even made the playoffs. But I do think that the playoff structure is seriously fucked up-not in the MLB, which only allows 8 of 30 teams in, but the NBA and NHL playoffs are swollen, boring, and full of mediocre teams that never deserved to get in the playoffs. Same for college basketball and football. Playoffs should be a reward, not a right. But you and I both know it's all for the $.
