my opinion on the 08-09 schedule format

As many of you know, in the 08-09 season the schedule will be a little different than the past seasons. If you are not familiar with what i am talking about, it will go like this.
Teams will play each club in their division six times, a total of 24 games, and the 10 other clubs in their conference four times, a total of 40 games.The remaining 18 games in the 82-game schedule will involve each club playing all 15 clubs in the other conference at least once, home or away. The three remaining games will be devoted to inter-conference “at-large” scheduling.

In my opinion, i think this is a great idea. Don't get me wrong i love a good rivalry, but i don't think the teams need to be playing everyone in there respected divisions 8 times each, and then NEVER playing some teams in the other conference. I mean c'mon there 82 freaking games in the regular season, you mean it took them THIS long to realize that its a bit strange that you don't play every team at least once?

So I for one am glad and excited for the new schedule format next year. disagree? tell me why
