Lame Monday night game beats classic ALCS game in ratings

Not an MLB fan but love the Yankees. Baseball be may America's pasttime but NFL is America's most-watched sport!

I think Oregon should be 1 honestly but OU has played a solid schedule and keeps winning so they r legit so far

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.

Baseball is way better live than on tv, football is way better on tv than live. College football isnt even close to pro. College is full of mismatches and games that dont really mean anything. In the end I prefer my pros as real pros not pros disguised as amateurs.

Agreed, but football is cool live to see all the routes developing. But generally yeah, I'd prefer to watch it at home.

Probably the best live sport that doesn't translate to TV... hockey.

^ Agreed. I love hockey games in person (Hershey Bears) but I can rarely watch a whole NHL game. I can watch a late-series playoff/Cup game in its entirety, but never a regular-season game.

I've always wondered why other sports don't make more changes to actually compete with the NFL and I guess it's because it would just piss a lot of people off.

The true fans of the sports are going to want to have all those games and believe that is the best way to know who had the best team. That also messes with the tradition of the game in regards to Hall of Fame, career points, and other things.

But, in reality, these multiple games really devalues the product. I've watched the NBA enough to know people aren't really trying in the first few quarters. They might crank it up in the 4th, but things don't really get going until the playoffs. You can't say that about football; the games are too important. If there were only 30 games, I would be way WAY more interested in following the wizards every game, since I know that each game was more important. Now, if I might watch 10 a year, but that is usually just because i see it's on t.v.

Absolutely.
