I agree! We gont watch sports at our house. We will gladly go to games and the kids are encouraged to join them but its just not a TV item.
Well, to me, pro football is one of the few things worth watching on TV now days. That and The Office. Everything else is just a waste of time.
I love the drama of sports. Completely unscripted drama. In a good close game, you don't know who is going to win until the last minute, sometimes the last second. When it is over, you have a complete story, with a cogent beginning, middle, and an end. Quite often a surprising end. Can't say that with much of the rest of television.
I like football (Go Vikings) but I think it would be a much better game if the teams played a 3 game series like in baseball. Everyone says the game is to hard on the players for that, ha!, for the money they make they shouldn't be such whinners.
I'm a baseball nut! But I could make that a better game as well with just a few rule changes.
1) If a fan in the stands throughs a homerun ball back onto the field it should be counted as a double. This would get the fans into the game and make it more interesting for those who are paying the players.
2) If a runner is stealing a base a player should be able to throw the ball at him, if it hits the base stealer he is out. That would make them think twice about stealing second, would make an attempt at stealing much more exciting, & I doubt you would see helmets flying off the players head during the attempt.
3) No astroturf.
