It may sound as simple and straightforward as a thought can be, but when the ball is in play, you must treat it as such. Many players forget this simple truth.

This time last week, we didn't know if we'd get to see the Major League celebrate its 20th season and welcome two new clubs, or if we were in for a protracted labour dispute with the Player's Union. Fortunately for us, cooler heads prevailed and the league was able to sign a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Players' Union. And while the league seems to be the happier of the two sides, the deal is only for five years, so in 2020, we can all look forward to what Sir Alex Ferguson might call squeaky bum time.
