PBC Has Changed Boxing
I recently watched a broadcast of PBC (Premier Boxing Champions), and now I'm hooked on boxing again. Premier Boxing Champions has changed the sport of boxing, and it's making household names out of professional boxers like Danny Garcia, Deontay Wilder, and Keith Thurman. PBC can be seen on several networks including Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC, NBC Sports Network, CBS, ABC, ESPN, Spike, and Bounce TV. PBC features title bouts, and matchups between the top boxers in the world. PBC is essentially doing for boxing what the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) did for MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). The next PBC broadcast is scheduled for Tuesday, February 9th, at 11:00 p.m on Fox Sports 1. Click on the link below for more information about Premier Boxing Champions.

More intentional fouls
Following on my earlier post, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver now says he will have the league's Competition Committee explore ways to restrict the practice, explicitly recognizing it as an aesthetic concern. But any rule has to consider all responses and downstream consequences. For example, the first corrective was that off-the-ball fouls in the last two minutes of the game result in the fouled team shooting one free throw and keeping the ball; coaches have responded by having players jump on the bad shooter's back on a free throw attempt, which is considered a loose ball and not subject to that rule. Proposals have included limiting the number of times a team can do it, given the shooting team the option of getting the ball out of bounds (my preference), or giving the fouled team an extra free throw, to be taken by any player (a version of something suggested by a commenter to my earlier post).
Something to watch this off-season, especially to the extent the making of sports rules can tell us something about the making of laws.
