athletic competition is great, the fans ehhhh.   without the fans there is no sports.  it's just like women you need them but it sure can be troublesome to have them for some of us.

If you take a stopwatch and actually time how long the ball is in play during a baseball game, you will find that it's generally 'round 10min of actual "play" during a 3hr baseball game.

If you take a stopwatch and actually time how long the ball is in play during a football game, you will find that it's generally 'round 20min of actual "play" during a 3hr football game.

So football is only half as boring as baseball.

Proffesional baseball isn't a sport, it's business.

Sport means that you are doing something for the sport of it.

Baseball on the radio in the summer. Nothing better than sitting in the back yard sipping a cool one and burning some meat while listening to Vin Skully call a game. He is an artist.

Spoken like a true fan like myself!!!  We have definitely become a nation with a short attention span.  Everything doesnt have to be EXTREME or condensed to be enjoyable...  Havent they ever been fishing for 12 hours without a bite and still enjoyed the trip???

If it were not for the play by play commentators continuous babbling, I fall a sleep during NFL games.
