Please Wake Me When This is Over ... !!!

Baseball, which was considered by many as America's pasttime, should now be considered America's bedtime because it does nothing, in my opinion, but put people to sleep. There's a reason why 99% of the America is so entrenched in the NFL Training Camps and hearing Brette Favre pay homage to Aaliya with his back and forth on his retirement or whether race is the underlying factor with Michael Vick, figuring that Peyton Manning wouldn't have gotten this much attention had he injured Marmaduke.

It is because with all of the steroid controversy, baseball has truly lost alot of it's luster. I don't know if I am watching a sport or a Jada Fire flick with all that crotch grabbing and spitting. Without a doubt, football has taken over the #1 slot in America's race for their most beloved sport. It is a known fact that football's legion of die-hard fans have grown over the last decade or so.

Now if we go down the line and compare the 2 sports you will see that football vs. baseball is as compelling as Steven Seagal vs. Al Bundy. One negative that baseball has against it is that the bulk of its season runs parallel with football and basketball. So, in most cases, people will only tune into baseball once the football and basketball seasons are over. But even by then, most people are out and about trying to enjoy the summer weather and not glued to the tube watching grown men grab themselves in public.

So watch football if you are interested in viewing nonstop hours of action. I was very pissed off when I watched my first entire baseball game and after 3 or 4 hours of what I thought was supposed to be action, the score was 2 to 1. You mean I had to sit through 3 hours of that for only a couple of runs scored ? Hell, they should at least give each team 3 points on the board for even suiting up for the game.

Football, on the other hand, is an on-field battle between 22 men. Even if the game has a low score like 6 to 3, you know you will be guaranteed some action. This is why football is one of the only sports that they televise on Thanksgiving. What better way to enjoy a meal with your family, outside of them just not being there, than to watch a football game ?

Even baseball players will tell you how engrossed they are into football. There's a reason why the Super Bowl is the most televised sports event ever and people would rather watch reruns of Laverne and Shirley than watch the World Series It is everyone's infatuation with football. Even college football is immensely popular. You hear of the popularity in college sports as far as football and basketball, but the only thing I have heard about college baseball is, okay forreal, I haven't heard anything about it. I am starting to wonder if it even exists. College baseball might just be like the Loch Ness Monster - you hear about it all the time, but no one has actually ever saw it.

As far as professional sports go, there still is no comparison between football and baseball. The NFL will always reign supreme over the MLB. And this is not just an opinionated editorial, it should definitely be taken as fact. If anything that was said is doubted, watch both games in its entirety and decide for yourself. If you agree with me, then SCORE, and if you don't then you are out (I guess I learned something from baseball after-all).

Back off to sleep I go ... I'll just hit snooze a couple of times until September 10th gets here.
