Nothing about marketing here, really.  But I have a simple idea for the NFL, NBA and MLB to stop teams from throwing games at the end of seasons ot get a better draft pick.  Instead of making the draft based on worst to best record for the season before, why not define the draft order by worst to best record over the last THREE years.   

I have a few reasons for this suggestion:

• This would stop events where a great team has a few key injuries in one season, ends up with the top overall pick, and builds a dynasty out of it (see Spurs, San Antonio.
• It’s hard to tank 3 straight seasons, so individual games are less important for draft order. 
• Teams that are that bad for so long need real help.  
• You can make your draft choices with some “general” idea where you may end up in next year’s draft, and make some strategic decisions on free agents based on this.
• Having a ridiculous string of unjustified good luck for 1/4 season doesn’t kill you.   

Anyway, that’s my big idea for the day.
