You Must Always Turn the Dial to 11
There is a rule in the English Premier League that forces a manager to play his strongest team for every game.
Sir Alex Ferguson thinks that it is outdated and, given Manchester United's Champions League Final with Barcelona on Wednesday, he plans to disregard it tomorrow in his team's match up against lowly Hull City.
At first blush, the regulation seems pretty ridiculous (and, well, downright un-American), but I actually think it has some appeal. Why should some teams have to play the best team at their best and some teams get to play the best team at their worst simply based on the arbitrariness of the official schedule?
