Soccer should have a 60 second shot clock! That's certainly a hot take 😂 It'd garner some very heated replies on a football discussion form too!

Doing a QB Kneel when you're less than 9 points ahead is straight up admitting that you don't think either the offence or defense is capable of keeping you ahead, and you're robbing fans of an exciting ending to a game.

Why be dumb and run the ball when you're up 3 points with a min left and risk a fumble that will cost you the game

Right. Usually, at the end the exciting part has already happened. Unless a team sat on the ball the last 5 mins, usually the other team got the ball with a chance to win the game and exhausted their TO's If a team f*** around and got greedy up 3 by trying to run the ball with nothing on the line except giving the defense a chance to strip you, the fans would be pissed

-The Music City Miracle should have never happened, that was a forward pass. -The LeBron VS Jordan argument can't be debated since it's two players from two completely different eras and the NBA is a whole different ballgame from the 90s to today. -Chael Sonnen got screwed VS Anderson Silva. -Tony Romo is the best commentator in football.

-Chael Sonnen got screwed VS Anderson Silva. He got caught getting too wild in the final round of the bout at UFC 117 (which he wouldn't have technically won anyway since he failed a post-fight drug test) and he decided to go "panic striking" in Rd2 of 148 and paid for it. I adore The American Gangster but his losses were both his fault.

Why does MLB have a schedule that is 162 games long yet not play every team?
On that line of thinking, 162 games doesn't have enough tiebreakers to seed out teams for the playoffs? Why do they need a wildcard play in game at all?
The Knicks would not have made it to the NBA Finals as an 8 seed in 1999 if it was a regular 82 game season.

You're there to win by whatever means necessary within what the rules give you. A win's a win's a win.

I don't blame teams for doing it but I do wish football leagues took steps similar to the NFL to make those last few minutes potentially more exciting.

And as I said before the fans will be the first ones bitching about an L if they lost that way Wins cures everything no matter how boring or unattractive it is

Just had to get it off my chest, not sure if it'sa hot take or not. The NBA, NHL and if NFL works these championships have a GINORMOUS * next to them imo. Way to many reason for it to really count, but my top 2 are not full offseason shit for young players and veterans to truly prepare and good to great players not playing, which brings down competition right from the start unlike a guy getting hurt in the middle of season.

Why the NBA and NHL? They're literally picking off from where they left off in March after their seasons were derailed due to COVID. And who even knows what the NFL is doing? If anything, they might pretend everything is normal until the absolute last minute.
I can get that sentiment for MLB as they're doing a truncated 60 game season, but not with the NHL or NBA.

Agreed. NBA and NHL played through most their season and by the time they actually finish they will basically played nearly equal games so I don't see an asterisk there
MLB I can see. That's a 60 game sprint.
NFL is TBD cause can't call it until they actually take the field

True, but the 3 months of not playing or so, no real home court advantage and finally big names sitting out atleast in the NBA just screams * too me. I thought the NHL is similar in those 3 areas aswell. If I'm wrong I do apologize.

No one of consequence in the NHL. Both leagues lost more games played in work stoppages this decade and no one talks about asterisks in those seasons. They've lost more in injuries literally every postseason.

No one gives an asterisk when players get injured in the playoffs and the same principle applies here. Besides that, the key stars are there anyway so the point is moot

I'm not gonna tell you how to feel. If it's an asterisk to you, that's you. But there have been short seasons, late starts, way more star power missing in other seasons. The lack of home court is true though.
