>> Losing Their Way to the Playoffs

The Minnesota Twins could join the ignominious list of postseason teams with losing records. But that’s nothing compared to what’s happening in the U.S.F.L. <<

Yet no mention of the XFL just 6 weeks ago... I guess XFL doesn't rate in the NYT universe (no loss)...
I guess they can't win for losing ...! :lol:

Really piss poor reporting by the NYTimes...

Let me give you my take on MLB - too many teams making playoffs after a long season, like NBA and NHL. NFL getting there... XFL and USFL has it right IMO.

Absolutely. USFL got some. Except XFL got no press despite having same scenario just weeks ago. That's the NYT for ya.

Really, you sound like one of those hopium babies over at ArenaFan, I remember about 10 years ago or so ago when Aaron Garcia threw ten touchdown passes in a game and there were a few small writeups (the usual buried on page 26) and about a 5 or 10-second mention on ESPN and you'd think that was The Moment, ummmmmmm nope.

And yes, both leagues will do it. Makes them look like junkies.

It’s true that niche leagues like the UFL or Arena Football often struggle for mainstream attention despite standout performances. Their impact can be significant but gets overshadowed by major sports coverage.
