One great thing about the NBA and commissioner David Stern is that they fix mistakes with their game. Case in point ? in 2003 the NBA switched the first round of the playoffs from a best-of-five game series to a best-of-seven to help ensure that the better team advances.

The problem today is that?what with the thousands of sports-related Internet sites and numerous Cable TV channels devoted to sports--there is more ?stuff? out there than even the most dedicated NFL fan can possibly keep up with.
