Discussions between GMs of different sports

[Rice Cube]

MLBTR had a cool new article up just now:

The Convergence Of MLB And The NBA: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Cubs GM Jed Hoyer is featured towards the end.

Interesting, I have always been in favor of an extended version of this involving mostly the commissioners.

I think it would be beneficial to have a panel containing the commissioners of:
Canadian Football League
Major League Baseball
Major League Soccer
National Basketball Association
National Football League
National Hockey League

Some cooperation between leagues would really help, especially in court cases involving one of the leagues as it may effect them all (or all except the CFL and maybe the NHL since they are based in Canada).

Also extend partial memberships to:
United Football League
National Lacrosse League
Arena Football League
Major League Lacrosse

I think his idea might be a bit convoluted but it doesn't hurt to have discussions between sports leagues for the betterment of all.

Very cool article by MLBTR. Ben is one of my favorite writers on there.

I couldn't help but notice that Hoyer said College Basketball and not NBA. He's obviously an Illini fan.

I hope my GMs are not on the committee. I'm not paying them to have pow wows

So in their downtime they can't watch a basketball game? And analyze how good the players are?

That's basically what the article was about..

Sorry I combined the article and the posts here. They can enjoy sports no issue.

My "panel/committee" idea was for league commissioners, not GM's.
