Lame Monday night game beats classic ALCS game in ratings

Baseball can be exciting if there is a lot of hits/runs, but for the most part you will get a 2-1 or 3-2 game that just drags on.

Plus Ace has it down pat. Football is speed, and controlled violence all rolled up into one. Baseball suited the nation better when it was a simple republic.

Football works well with TV. Baseball does not.

Football has a lot of the same teams in the playoffs every year, too. Generally, the Pats, Colts, Steelers, Eagles and Green Bay go to the playoffs.
The Pats and Steelers have combined to win 6 of the past 9 Superbowls. People don't really hate that the same teams go to the playoffs every year, they just don't like baseball.

Steroids have really killed baseball, fans don't like cheaters and that's the rep baseball has now.. I mean who's The next Great player that will get caught or admit?

The NFL is King and will be for a long time. College football is good except when you have Oklahoma playing North Texas or Florida vs Panhandle State.. I don't ever miss a thunder game but thts because they are right here on TV every night. The NBA reg season is almost as boring as baseballs reg season IMO.

Baseball is a joke and has been for 10 years or so. And I love the NBA but every season you can name the best teams in the league. Lakers, Celts, Heat (especially now). We all know it's LA vs Mia in the finals. Look out for my THUNDER though, Durant will be a strong MVP candidate. College football is good but still not close to the NFL, and I live in the town of the number 1 team in the country.

I don't know Okie. To be totally honest NCAA football is better. THere is usually more electricity in the air and the gameplay is actually faster than the NFL. The officials have started to interfere with the flow of NFL gameplay too much in the past decade, and there are too many medicore teams to justify the crazy ass salaries anymore.

^ I like College don't get me wrong and the atmosphere is great but in all honesty no one wants to watch Miami play SW Florida for the blind. In the NFL every week matters and any team can win, even the Bills. Even when I lived in the south and the saints were so bad I'd watch them over Mississippi and Miss St any day.
Living in Oklahoma I always have this argument, but the numbers don't lie and the BCS is retarded !

I love it...I really think baseball is super boring and I am not surprised in the least that a blowout game between the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat a playoff baseball game.

I think the BCS was created to lead to the eventual playoff. Oklahoma is a great team and definitely should be in the BCS mix, but they hopped over Oregon, which will get real college fans debating like mad. Screw TCU and Boise St. Beating on Wyoming or Idaho 56-0 doesn't tell me shit, but you will get those folks bitching also. Thing is there is just too much $$ in the bowl system to really institute one. I remember when there was just 6 bowls: Cotton, Sugar, Gator, Rose, Orange, and Tangerine. Liberty and Fiesta came later, along with the California and Holiday. Tangerine turned into the Citrus Bowl if I am not mistaken. To me about a dozen bowls is palatable, since the top 25 would be let in. Now they are talking about having a 5-7 team get in. Just stupid, but the suckers will watch.

Baseball sucks playing also. Watching it live isn't any better than if you were watching on TV. I like how the new ballparks have all those screens with ads on them all over the stadium perimeter now to keep the masses distracted as most of t he games are dull.
