Really, maybe adding another month to playoffs would be a better idea.

Go Blue!

Jason Whitlock has an interesting theory on why NBA's TV numbers are up...tattoos. Best line in his column: "I know many of you probably think the number of tattoos doesn't influence viewing habits. You're wrong. Like everything else televised, appearances matter. There's a reason you don't see nude scenes in movies with fat people. Trust me, fat people have sex. It's just no one wants to see it. Not even fat people." http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/8187914/In-NBA-playoffs,-less-ink-means-more-viewers

I don't agree with his correlation to viewing numbers, but I agree with much of the general sentiment.

Go Blue!

The real reason viewership is up is because those of us who remember the great Lakers/Celtic matchups in the 70's and 80's, are flashing back, yearning for the old days of un-fixed, good ol' basketball. Tattoos? Are you serious?

Counting the Herd one hoof at a time.
