It’s funny how we can procrastinate sometimes despite having everything laid out in front of us.

I am a Non-Traditional Sports Fan by instinct, a writer by trade… and a cook to pay the bills. Unfortunately, working a job in catering has a tendency to throw off my cadence. The summer doldrums — you know, the ones that fans who remain attuned solely to the rhythms of American sport often decry this time of year — are most acutely felt in the way my work schedule lines up.

It is the time of summer when writers in the U.S. like to talk about what a European-style system of promotion and relegation could mean for competitive balance. It would certainly add... Read More
