I learned one thing while watching the coverage of Titans vs. Cardinals: Rachel Nichols is stunning. This is the National Football League preseason at its very best. Another thing: Major League Baseball hates the NFL. The media swarm, in depth coverage, of the NFL just blows a cloudy haze over some really exciting MLB playoff races. Like, there is a World Series going on, and no one is watching baseball because their searching through pages and pages of fantasy facts about Chad Johnson, who on second glance, got arrested.
Your number one fantasy pick down the drain, but nobody would bet on Johnson anymore. Terrell Owens? I was always a fan because he acted like a punk, which is bad ass and great for ratings –– like a press conference held in his driveway. Hilarious stuff, great for ratings. Plus, he set numerous records. Look at those stats, they still stand. Owens is second in total receiving yards all-time (15,934). He's still playing. No doubt trying to catch his pal, Mr. Rice. He may not get the mark, but he'll make some plays in Seattle –– a team that will be a threat in 2012. Heck, their jerseys make it seem they arose from a hyperbolic camber. Seattle has already beaten Payton Manning in a meaningless preseason game. It doesn't count.
The TV media needs to do a better job at highlighting the critical moments of the MLB down the stretch. There are two more wildcard spots. Wood bats are going to be splitting everywhere. Fireworks. No one will care that much.
What makes the NFL more appealing than playoff baseball? For starters, the NFL is more enjoyable to follow. There's a lot of conversation, stats, and beer drinking. Wings. You can get beer and wings at the ballpark, but no one makes it because they're grilling in the backyard with the football game on. Fantasy football app in check right in the pocket. Grilling. Drinking. Tweeting. Football.
In the NFL, you either have a voice, or you don't.
Tampa Bay will win the World Series.
