You'll still get Friday night games. But either
A. You won't sniff the playoffs
and/or
B. You won't get good Friday night games
The supply is there during the playoffs. EVERYONE wants to work playoffs. I think that's the problem with that particular point-- everyone wants to work playoffs so they put up with the crap to get to the playoffs. Then they're either burned out by coach/player behavior, or they don't get playoff games because they punished deserving behavior.
