Totally not educational, but…
This post is totally not really related to education per se, however I read this recently in Wired magazine and thought it was a neat idea for discussion. For those who follow sports at all, you know that some teams already have no hope of winning even before the season starts. They are *that* bad. Well, this author suggested taking the lowest three teams in each league and dropping them down to the minor leagues while promoting the top three minor league teams to the majors. That way, effort toward winning is rewarded. They already have systems like this in European soccer, and they work great. What do you think? Should the Pittsburgh Pirates and their ilk be allowed to stay in the majors, or should good teams be able to move up and take their place?

The Pirates are Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, then again, a lot of that is bias because Pittsburgh is my hometown.
I must admit, however, that even though I’m from Pittsburgh, I think that the Pirates are absolutely pathetic anymore, though, especially since they got rid of Nate McLouth and Nyger Morgan. I was really mad when they did that.Then Freddie Sanchez was gone, and Adam LaRoche. I have no idea what they were thinking but that’s what has definitely made them so awful. But I’ll always be a Pirates fan
Well, Mr. Welsh, I hope your school year is going well
I’ll come back to your blog every once in awhile (when I remember 
) and hopefully some time this year I’ll make it down the hill to visit 
Mine is pretty good
Have a Great Day
Thanks for the comments. Sorry, I just picked Pittsburgh as an example; I have nothing against them either. You always have to support your home team, no matter how good or bad they may be. I remember the year the Patriots went 1-15 and couldn’t make extra points after touchdowns, but I still rooted for them. Thanks for chatting!
