Jacksonville has to be the worst 3-3 team I've ever seen. Only reason I watched it cause I had coin on it. Jags might as well move to LA. But even if I didn't bet on it there is no way I was watching baseball. :sleep: BringBackJoeT 10-19-2010, 01:57 PM I'm not sure this really says too much. As sports and television goes, Monday Night Football is an institution, and an early to mid-season match-up is always going to do well, regardless of the featured teams or what other sports event it may be up against. Some people on the board may be old enough to remember that viewership was still very good for the Redskins-Giants MNF game that was up against Game 7 of the 1986 Mets-Red Sox series, a series that ranks as one of the more notable ones in MLB history. I'm actually surprised that MLB would host one of their playoff games on Monday night.

Right now, they're unstoppable. But, as with other sports' strikes and stoppages...they lost fans. Some forgot their outrage and came back but I still know a guy who refuses to watch a baseball game after the 1994-95 and he's stuck to it. The NFL will not fail, but it would at least set back the great thing they have going where everyone is making a ton of money. It's a lose-lose for all sides, except maybe the TV networks that have contracts where they'll get paid anyways. aceinthehouse 10-19-2010, 03:35 PM Well,lets see...What do I watch? Do I watch the game that has no Parity,no Salary cap and plays a 162 games in a season...Best out of 7 games during the Playoffs and generally has the same teams in the playoffs with the exception of the Texas Rangers? Has a 7th inning stretch? Very unphysical and violentless game with the exception to a "Hit Batsman" or the occasional brawl that follows? And a score that happens every hour? Or do I watch a game that has equal Parity,a Salary cap,everyone hitting each other like car accidents and not only possibly lots of points,but different variations of points that can be scored such as a FG,TD,Safety and 2-pt conversions? And each game that means everything to a team, as if they were on life support? As well as a non-controlled team possession as it can swing either way on who has the ball to score as well as being able to score on both the Offensive and Defensive side of the Ball....rather than the continuous, repetitive always the same 3-Strikes your out method? Gosh...tough call... mredskins 10-19-2010, 03:46 PM So who is second to the NFL right now? I guess the NBA. tdSKINS1 10-19-2010, 03:50 PM So who is second to the NFL right now? I guess the NBA. I would say it is NCAA Football no doubt about it. There is nothing like a full slate of great college football except a Skins game. skinsfaninok 10-19-2010, 03:56 PM 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. aceinthehouse 10-19-2010, 04:01 PM 2nd to the NFL.... Is NCAA Basketball and probably for some of the same reasons... March Madness Tourny and single elimination usually most teams play anywhere from 27-33 games depending on those classic tourny's during the season. (Like the Pizza Hut classic or whatever early in the year) The point is people...I and many otehrs don't want to see 2 teams face each other for a 5 or 7 game series...we just don't. We also as fans don't want to have to watch 82 games or 162 games a season..we just won't. As true fans,we want to watch EVERY GAME or try hard too.... People take off work to watch the Superbowl...or the AFC or NFC Championship game.. I've taken off for a wild card round...WHY? Cause if I miss it...it's over There's no game 2 or game 3... And what sports have multi game Playoff series as well as very long seasons...? well,lets see.. NBA MLB NHL NFL football and NCAA basketball are the 2 hottest Sports in the United States... Geeee.I wonder why?
