cheaptrick77 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 OH, NO -- another Baseball-football thread ? :wacko: C'mon -- it's Christmas Eve ! :whome: I love George Carlin & that is a classic bit, but PLEASE remember that popular and superior are mutually exclusive concepts ;) 99 Reasons Why Baseball Is Better Than Football ^ keep in mind that this was written by Thomas Boswell circa 1987 -- a few of the entries are obsolete, most are not. Allow me to add: 100. No one has ever watched the World Series just to "see the commercials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessjoelives Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 101. Baseball doesn't have to stop and clear the field and let the pitcher take a running start toward the catcher and unfurl a 90 mph pitch from point blank range to win the game. Why change the rules and change the normal way that a game is played just to break a tie. Just go to the 10th inning and send up your lineup versus my lineup and play the game til one team scores the winning run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePirate Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 The previous three posts are further proof of "Why Football will ALWAYS be more popular than Baseball"... baseball fans' unbridled jealousy toward the unparalleled success of football. :smirk: Merry Christmas, Cheapy.

DaveTV1 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I love both games. I anticipate football games more, because they are only played once a week. In Baseball, I watch the first two months, maybe catch the All-Star game which ended in a tie, check on it from time to time, then wait for September. The action in football destroys the slow pace of baseball. I'd rather watch a 99 yard touchdown run with 10 men on the offensive side, an 80 yard bomb for a T.D. than any Grand Slam or Walk Off Home Run. I liked watching Earl Campbell break tackles, the grace of Tony Dorsett, or the perfect upright running of Eric Dickerson. I love the touchdown dances of Billy "Whiteshoes" Johnson, Ocho Cinco, and Terrell Owens. Watching the acrobatics of Lynn Swann, Jerry Rice, Lance Alworth, Fred Biletnikoff, and James Lofton. I'd rather watch a perfect spiral on a pass than a knuckleball, the spin on a curveball, or a 110 mph fastball. Give me the bone crunching hits on almost every play, than "Charlie Hustle" running over Ray Fosse. I prefer when a player hurls the football into the stands, than when a player flips the ball to a fan. Give me cheerleaders scantily clad than a goofy mascot. (Another reason the Cowboys need to get rid of Rowdy). The Wave while it does need to be retired, looks better at a football game than at a baseball game. I love to play baseball, but I love to play and watch football. Even if it's a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldandwhite Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I would rather watch a play at the plate with a throw from the right fielder, on a man trying to score from 1st base on a double with two outs, than anything else in sports.

USNDocOfMarines Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I Love the great All-American sport of Baseball. Everything about it. But Football is a heck of a lot more exciting to watch. IMO, you cant really compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yay!!!, this mid-season game I'm paying a ton to go see will be so meaningful at the end of the season!!!! Believe it or not, they all matter. Football has the 'wow' factor, and the popularity. Baseball has so many intracacies and hidden situations that make it all the more exciting. But give me a game-winning home run over a game-winning field goal any day.

sonoman24 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Both sports are, by far, my favorite to watch/follow. If I were given only one more day to watch either, it would be football. For me, there's alot of emotional "bang for the buck" while watching my favorite football team. If I could only watch one sport the rest of my life, it would be baseball. I like the regularity of the schedule, the history of the sport, the great venues, enjoying a dog and a brew, and the traditions associated with the sport (most of them anyway).
