I have to face the fact that football seems to have brazenly overtaken baseball as the de facto national pastime. Even in its off-season, football news and gossip (usually the same thing), often intrudes itself into our lives with depressing regularity. The bi-weekly drug arrests, revolving quarterback soap operas, and mind-numbing stories about which draft picks will break camp hold about as much interest for me as my aunt's wilted cole slaw on Easter Sunday.
My friend Bill over at the On Deck Circle has a fine post comparing baseball and football. One guess as to which sport he prefers.
Wow, thanks so much for the Reblog!
