COMMENTARY
On the 71st day, I cracked. I wish Major League Baseball owners would hurry up and do the same.
Not long after MLB locked out its players on Dec. 2, ostensibly to supercharge the negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement, I made the decision to largely ignore the whole escapade. The reasons are myriad, but best summarized thusly: Why bother? Even baseball’s not stupid enough to kill this golden goose.
Since, the NFL staged a legendarily great playoff slate. Winter seasons rolled along, the NBA authoring a particularly crazy trade deadline even by its standards.
