The Playoffs, As We Know Them, Are Bunk My (quixotic, admittedly) proposal for overhauling the playoff and regular season system for all of American sports. A sportsfilter column by our own chicobangs.

Why do you need playoffs when you have the entire season to determine a winner? Why do you need 5 games in early playoffs when 3 or even 1 should suffice? When a season nears its end, there is always another sport ready grab our attention. Very few people that I know and have known are in favor of extended playoffs. Far too many teams in the NBA and NHL qualify for the playoffs. The NBA and the NHL have two seasons. One to determine who will be in the playoffs and another to find a champion. I wonder if the greed of the owners and TV/Radio networks could have anything to do with it?
