You don't have every network spending 24 hours on baseball, they're all talking about football. Most sports fans know who the left guard is for Tennessee, Most sports fans have no clue who the Cincinnati Reds' centre fielder is. Most know who New Orleans' defensive co-ordinator is, Most couldn't name half of MLB's managers.
    Hell, most sports fans are legitimately concerned about the effect of concussions on NFL players, but are only pissed at MLB players for cheating because they simply won't admit it.
    I'm willing to wager more people on this site, and more sports fans overall, could tell you who the Reds CENTER fielder is.

    I bet most TITANS fans don't know who the LG is.

    Your overall points are valid (I think?), but god damn is this post awful.

      It's ok to disagree without being disagreeable. IMO, football is America's national pastime, not baseball.
      Football, all season, is simply more compelling than baseball. I get that baseball during the World Series is hella compelling, but every week in the NFL is compelling ... and the Super Bowl is greater than the World Series right now.

            being a sports fan doesn't mean you need to major in every teams line up. I don't know the names of anybody quite frankly except the obvious ones. But don't tell me I aint be no sports fan.

                Point taken (not necessarily agreed), but Gooby ... what sport do you believe is more popular in America - NFL or MLB?

                      All i'm saying dave, is that even when making an obvious point, you manage to botch it with utter nonsense.

                          I wasn't comparing baseball's best hitter to a random linebacker. Give me a break.

                            Does it get more random than TITANS LG?

                            It's like you picked the most obscure player possible on purpose.

                              I was comparing Andy Levitre to the Reds' center fielder, not to Derek Jeter or Miguel Cabrera.

                                You realize that the Reds CFer was a top 10 player in baseball this year?
