Your President Elect (Barak Obama) has done one good thing so far. No joke. He did something good.
“If you’ve got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there’s no clear decisive winner,” he told Steve Kroft. “We should be creating a playoff system.”
