Flopping does take away from the game, but beyond taking away for the game, it challenges the integrity of the game! I would think, 95% of the time, flops are easily identified. So, flops can be easily regulated. Why does the NBA not enforce the flop rule? It is there in NBA rules!!! Another thing that is really getting to my nerves is how the league allow preferential calling for certain players. It seems if a player draws a huge fan base, and in turn helps sell tickets, referees will favor calls on both sides of the ball for that player and his team. It's time that fans start to boycott NBA games. There is also another resolve. If fans, after having bought tickets to a game and must sit through (unfair callings) a game where there are a great deals of obvious calls in favor a specific player, they should sue the NBA. Yes, the fans should sue the NBA! It's time for fans standup! For without the fans, there is no income for any NBA employee, even the Commissioner, who has as Jeff said, "makes $25M"! paullet j. barnes pjbarnesassoc@aol.com I totally agree with Jeff Van Gundy.

The only way to keep it this way is to modify the current BCS system with a elite playoff system. 4 BCS games-> 2 semifinal games between winners-> 1 national championship. Traditional bowls remain in place, plus we get 2 extras. All teams still have to play all games wide open in order to qualify, then the SEC can bring it home after a few more victims.

Why should OSU have played LSU? The two best teams played, period. The very fact that Alabama won proves that a LSU vs. OSU matchup would have been wrong. The BCS is about getting the best two teams in the nation to play for the championship. It's not about finding interconference matchups or giving someone else a chance at looking good, etc. Dustin, are you for real? Why should OSU have played LSU? The two best teams played, period.
