"I've never been less interested in Rams football even in the Spags years."

I'm taking about the Thursday night games you guys seem to be so quick to bring up.

You only want to talk about one NBC game for some reason.

There's only one Sunday night game that is relevant to this conversation.

I'm checking out of this thread, because it's a pointless argument. Comparing tv ratings for a sport with a 162 game schedule and 7 game series for a championship, to one with a 16 game schedule and a one and done championship is silly. MLB has been killing with the ratings here, you can google for some nonbiased opinions on it, they all agree. The derps on this site who claim baseball is dying continue to look like goofs.

Starts thread based on the comparison of TV ratings...

... Leaves thread because ratings can't be used as reasonable grounds to draw a comparison. :dd:

And I don't need an "nonbiased" (not a word) opinion to tell me anything.

The raw viewership and ad buy numbers do that for me just fine.

Fans and players alike have to find ways to stay entertained.

No doubt St. Louis is an absolute baseball city, hell it's possible the Blues are more popular than the Rams, but America's national pastime is football, not baseball. 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.

Noone says centre in this context.

 

[Goober]

I would wager that no one on this site except woy and herm could tell you who the Titan's LG is off the top of their head.

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?

And you complain about Latino players speaking broken English?

I actually have used that word in real life. Not sure what the overpaid Clipper gif is about. I assume you're Doc Rivers in real life.

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

"Guys, nobody knows the Tigers 3B, but they sure as shit can tell you the Vikings LOLB!"

No, we're not.

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?
