The full-course yellow flag is a somewhat natural commercial break once pit stops are over. American coverage of F1 takes a commercial break every five laps even though the races are usually green the whole time, though!

Could be worse, could be the British Coverage of F1, exiting battle for the lead? gently caress that noise, let the commentators and race director continue to fellate Lewis Hamilton. Try and work out what is going on with the rest of the race from the live timing.

I've thought this since the ITV days, but there either needs to be a dedicated world feed commentary for F1 that doesn't take sides, or the Sky guys need to realize that they're the de facto english-language world feed, and therefore should at least try to be impartial.

Allowing the clock to continually run in American football is actually a very good idea. 1) it will reduce concussions 2) it will reduce forum posts about "fencing response  "3) it will eliminate commercial breaks 4) it will probably reduce the amount of time the coffee breaks between plays last 5) it will make American football fans realize that their players roll around on the field injured just as often as soccer players do

BG games were almost never televised, so you got a game knocked out in maybe 2 hours and it was awesome. Then TV started showing up (and believe me, we love the exposure) and all of a sudden games went at least an hour longer. Hell, nowadays even if we don't have TV, we keep taking "media timeouts" just so everyone stays used to the pace of a non-televised game.

The media timeouts are generally only between changes of possession, but yeah those can suck too. It's always fun when you have a drive end with points then get a commercial break both before and after the kickoff.

NBA Problem: Last two minutes of a game dragging out due to fouling and free-throw shooting Solution: Five point, half court free throw. A team could opt to take a single, five point free throw from the half court line. They could also just take two normal free throws. Even if it wasn't used often, and had a low probability of success, it would still add uncertainty to the game. (I don't actually think this would work out, but its an interesting idea to think about.) Problem: Flopping. Solution: If a player hits the the floor (not just down to their knees, but hits the floor totally), they have to take a 2-3 minute break to make sure they are okay. This would double as a safety rule: players who really have hit the floor would have 2 minutes to make sure they aren't hurt, and it would dissuade players from flopping. (This is actually a serious idea)

Mornacale posted:So every team would carry two players whose entire job was to tackle LeBron James 6 times a game? Which is kind of like having those players near the end of the bench whose main job is to commit fouls in the fourth quarter. I mean, there is no perfect system, but at least in a scenario like this, you wouldn't have good players flopping because their team would need them on the floor.

I would rather the video review coordinator reviewing contentious foul calls during timeouts and calling down the flops that were rewarded to the floor crew. However, that is also a stuipd idea, so I would rather the refs just not give known floppers any benefit of the doubt any time they flail or get 'pushed'.

Problem: I don't like MLB's playoffs because I think it's silly for a league that has a long enough season that one can do statistical sampling to then have it's champion crowned through what's basically a crap-shoot. Fix: In place of a playoff, the top six teams in each league play a month long round-robin season, and then the team with the best record in each go to the World Series. More details here: I have spent way too much time thinking about something that will never happen.

Due to the nature of the game the MLB playoffs are a microcosm of the MLB regular season so it's basically a crapshoot of a crapshoot some seasons. As an example the 2012 Giants had an SRS of .2 and swept the world series. The Rays has the second highest SRS at .9 and weren't even in the playoffs. If this was the NBA it'd be like the Clippers missing the playoffs due to being in a tough division and the Bulls winning the title.
