Well Mark your observation of the NHL beating College Basketball in the ratings was very astute and 99% accurate. However as you know it\'s that 1% that causes the shaking. I\'ve got an industrial strength paint mixer. This might sound odd to most, but to a man with the true mindset of Roark, not in the least. Mark, I promise you this will shake the sporting world to its knees. Hell it might even make you lean a bit! No need to post,but we need to talk . Im in the other Big D.

ESPN came close to picking it up a few years ago, but the production company I was partnered with blew the deal. Anyway, I think you'd love it! If you're intrigued and in the market for programming please get back to me with info on where I can send a (2 pg.) proposal. Again, its a GREAT IDEA, I think you'd like it!

I truly cannot imagine how ridiculous and potentially ugly it will get. But the events themselves are still lacking. The 3-point contest and the dunk contest used to build a lot of genuine hype and excitement. Now it's kind of flat. I found this post about changing the events. Pretty funny, especially the "dribbling endurance" competition:<br><br><a href="http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/basketball/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/basketball/index.html</a><br><br> In regard to the All-Star game, the fact that it is in Las Vegas is scary/hilarious in itself.

This is in regards to the<br>NBA All-Star weekend. It has become an incredibly boring event for<br>the tv viewers, and the dunk contest has become a joke. in order to<br>bring back some of the excitement, here's an idea which we hope you<br>will endorse.a tournament style 1-on-1 contest. it could be a one or<br>two day event, starting with 8 or 16 players, which means the champion<br>would need to win 3 or 4 matches. it wouldn't be that bad for the<br>players, even if the matches are 10 minutes long, because they are<br>spread over a long period.imagine the matchups for Kobe vs. KG, Vince<br>Carter vs. LeBron, Dwayne Wade vs. Carmelo. This could be both<br>exciting and meaningful (like the dunk contest used to be).For your<br>pleasure, here's the link to the<br>discussion.<a href="http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=9074655&an=0&page=0" rel="nofollow">http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=9074655&an=0&page=0</a> Hi Mark,i am simply trying to bring to your attention an idea that’s

College basketbal is still one of the biggest sports in this country, and March Madness is still the prime sporting spectacle in this country, not just in terms of the dollars in TV contracts it commands, but in the audience. What other sport brings all living alumni of 64 schools to the table? Regarding college basketball v. hockey: I don’t think you can make a judgement based on one weekend.
