That's why I reacted probably too negatively to the criticism that the playoffs were unpredictable and the best teams weren't coming through. The fact of the matter is that’s a good thing for us over the long haul.”(AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)Season Preview Baseballhttps://japantoday.com/category/sports/what-next-for-the-premier-league%27s-profit-and-sustainability-rules2024-03-20weekly0.7https://japantoday-asset.scdn3.secure.raxcdn.com/img/store/4a/c8/c384fa79eafd87b6b17df14bcc7cc3bc6952/4ac8c384fa79eafd87b6b17df14bcc7cc3bc6952_1.jpgEverton and Nottingham Forest have faced sanctions over breaches of the Premier League's financial ruleshttps://japantoday.com/category/sports/20-minute-red-cards-rugby-could-be-about-to-shake-up-its-sanctioning-process2024-03-20weekly0.7https://japantoday-asset.scdn3.secure.raxcdn.com/img/store/ee/83/de8ec2825a431126ca51b31d1c6ba5d75275/download.jpgScotland's Finn Russell, right, runs to gather a loose ball during the Six Nations international rugby union match between Ireland and Scotland, at the Aviva stadium in Dublin, Ireland, Saturday, March 16, 2024.
