Which sport has the best playoffs?

Which sport has the best playoffs?

We're deep in the heart of the NBA and NHL playoffs, and that leads us to an overwhelming question: which of the four major pro sports hosts the best playoffs?

• The NFL, three hours of winner-take-all struggle with the entire country watching?

• The NBA, a best-of-seven true team effort?

• The NHL, where Game 7 sudden-death overtime is the greatest sequence in sports?

• Baseball, where drama rides on every single pitch?

We've excluded the NCAA basketball championships from this discussion, since the bracket is the most perfect creation ever devised by humanity. And golf and NASCAR tend to change their playoff systems every other  year, so they're excluded as well. Other than that, though, where do your loyalties lie? We discuss in the video above, and we welcome your input as well.
