Summary: <p>The best college team in the nation over the course of the history of the AP Polls (so roughly 1936) was revealed this week and who was at the top? None other than Ohio State. Following in the top 10 were more teams that were into the NCAA before 1940, so history equals greatness in this case we guess.</p> <p>Adrian Peterson lost an appeal so he will still lose some more game checks for the debacle two years ago, meaning not only will he have been suspended for almost an entire year, but he will have lost over two million dollars in the process. John and Geoff go on about how much power Roger Goodell does and should have and neither thinks Tom Brady should be serving a suspension, a rare thing, because both hate Brady and the Patriots.</p> <p>With the Big Four sports in the United States touting minor league teams, why doesn’t the NFL? If baseball has a 25-man active roster (half the size of a football team) and can have three levels of minor league, it seems like there would be room for a MNFL or something along those lines. Geoff says no, but John is sure that letting states split minor league teams would help the case and would allow for more development through the rankings. </p> <p>For some perspective:</p> <p>Baseball average salary: $4 Million<br> Minor league: $2400/month</p> <p>NBA average salary: $4.9 mil<br> D League: $25k/season</p> <p>NHL average salary: $2.4 mil<br> NHL minor: $42,375 per year</p> <p>NFL average: $1.9 mil<br> Arena: $40k-ish<br> CFL: $80k<br> NFL Practice Squad: $88,400 per season (10 players per team)</p> <p>Geoff also gave a run-down of some creative ways to choose the order of your next Fantasy Football draft: </p> <p>– Mario Kart races (all managers randomly assigned a character, let computer do a race)<br> – Olympics x2 (all managers assigned a country, medal count determines order)<br> – PGA Championship (all managers assigned a golfer, placing determines order)<br> – World Cup (Same as Olympics)<br> – Beer Pong (all take turns shooting at cups with number on the bottom for draft position)</p> <p>More on the way with the next three segments:</p> <p>54.1 – <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/54-4-the-olympics-are-finally-here/">Minor League Football, College Football AP Polls</a><br> 54.2 – <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/54-2-baseball-golf-and-an-nba-members-member/">Hodge Podge of baseball, golf and an NBA Member</a><br> 54.3 – <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/54-3-the-history-and-current-state-of-battlebots/">The History and Current State of Battlebots</a><br> 54.4 – <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/54-4-the-olympics-are-finally-here/">The Olympics are finally here!</a></p>
