Gordon Gund was the owner of the Cavs when they built the new Basketball Arena in Cleveland and he owned the naming rights. That was until he sold the team to Daniel Gilbert. Gilbert owns Quicken Loans Mortgage Company. Thus the new name: Quicken Loans Arena or "The Q" for short.
I think 144 games for MLB would be more than reasonable. Eliminate Interleague play. There is no reason why we need to see a Pirates-Mariners series (as an example) in the middle of the pennant races. There is also no reason why we need to be playing baseball into November.
I dislike expansion in sports. Too little talent to go around and some markets with franchises don't even support their teams.
If it wasn't for expansion, the Cavaliers would never have existed.
If not for expansion, you still would not have a football team.
No offense, but both of these are bad examples.
When the Cavs were born in 1970, the NBA was more than ready for expansion, as there was more than enough talent to go around.
As far as the Browns go, do I really have to defend Cleveland getting an expansion team??!! They NEVER should have lost their original team to begin with.
I call that justice!
I can't stand it when players, (in particular basketball players), complain about not getting enough playing time!
1. Playoff Ticket prices during the playoffs...Then they wonder why some games are not a sell out
2. "Players having to feed there family" Enough said
3. NFL Exibition games
4. NHL Playoff games starting at 10:30 eastern time (Wings playing in the west)
5. The NFL Pro Bowl...Why bother and no it will not help at ALL to have it between the superbowl week

We all know we'll never see any revenue reduction ideas like this happen, but if we did, I would be all for bringing back the old-time single admission doubleheaders. You could still have 162 game seasons, but played in a few less days than it is now....
I was about to post something to this effect, but never got around to it.
I agree, go back to one price double headers, that will shorten the schedule at least a few days.
Also make it so when they get into the playoffs, they are able to move the series up a few days to get it started instead of waiting 4-5 extra days, because it may have gone the full amount of games.
I know this may be difficult for travel and hotel arrangement, but I think it could be done.
