Now, don't get me wrong. I respect baseball. Baseball is a highly complicated sport. Only the talented few can be successful at the highest level. Some of the greatest athletes on the planet play this sport. It just doesn't pique my interest. I watch the pennant games and the world series...sometimes. But it just doesn't get me going. I admit that I'm biased. You can blame Division I college football for that. But, it can also be said that I am not alone in these thoughts. The NFL, which begins tonight by the way, is the most watched of the four major sports (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL).
There can be several reasons for this (as George will explain in a bit). One of the main reasons, I believe, is the parody of the NFL. Right now, you probably can't tell me who the four conference championship teams will be at the end of the season. But let's take basketball for example:
Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Spurs. How many of you came up with the same four teams that I did. Can't do that in football.
Back to the title of this discussion: Baseball vs. Football. I've given you my thoughts. Now let's hear Mr. Carlin on the subject.
