Andrew: So we're now at midseason. Or was it last week? The 17-week season violates symmetry. As a fan of right angles and easily divisible entities, I like the elegance of the English Premier League: 38 weeks of games in which each team plays every other team twice. No silly playoff upsets to deny the rightful champion the trophy. No crazy schedule luck like the Panthers have this year. And no always irreducible fractions to describe how much of the season remains.
Last week, we made some predictions for the second 9/17 of the season.
