nah, thats not it, imma freak, i love the game. its real life non scripted reality TV where, usually, the player isnt trying to become famous so to speak. there is an emotional involvement in baseball, pro basketball and even moreso college hoops that you dont get from the NFL. in football the players are hidden, the games are entirely too predictable, and you only get 16 games a season for your team. one day a week simply isnt enough for me, and the NFL player isnt nearly likable. a few are, like farve, curtis martin, teddy bruschi, but as a whole, they arent there. with the other 3, you can flip over to espn every day, learn something new and watch 3-4 games a week, and follow other teams a lot better than you can in footy. especially in the free agent era, to use a personal example, i loved follwoing the cards in 2003 and 2004 because of the yanks dumbass trade to obtain giambi. i literally tried to watch every national broadcast just because i loved tino. in the 3, you can watch a guy get hot, go cold, be clutch, fail, etc. example, last year, i watched the last 20 games or so for the phillies b/c of the run for the playoffs. not to mention utleys run at history, and the yanks had jeter and cano gunning for the batting title, my favorite stat award, cause it shows consistency. or guys out in san diego, where thier only shining light is trevor hoffman, who you get to see 2-3 times a week do his thing. football just doesnt have it. you get 2-3 games on a sunday and a game on monday. nothing else.
bring on baseball. pitchers and catchers tomorrow in florida and arizona.
and the NBA run to the finals approaches next week, and in 2 more weeks, you get the single greatest sporting event on the planet.... the NCAA tourney. 18 year old kids playing for pride in front of rabid crowds and giving thier all every second. so thank god football is gone. gimme some hoops and lets get to the diamond.
