In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed how we consume the various sports that we love and how their format affects our interest. Why fix it if it's not broken, right? But would a single-elimination type of bracket for the NBA playoffs be beneficial? Ratings would likely skyrocket, but what's the downside? Also, should we start NFL games sooner on Sundays and only have one on at a time? That one probably wouldn't work.
