Sweet move by the NFL, baseball's pretty boring though, I've only been riveted by a game once or twice, as opposed to nearly every week by the NFL

MLB should bring in crappy pitchers, it'd be more interesting

Even though I don't watch soccer on the reg, when it's on I enjoy it more than baseball. I love having the boys over for wings and beer when a championship game rolls around.

the World Series maybe mis-named, but it's baseball at it's best - American league vs. National league, best of seven, no fluke winner.

i've no mind to de-rail this thread and invte you to report this post, but i will say i hate regular season baseball. i think the season's too long,

The NFL isn't in the business of charity when it comes to giving away viewers.

It's a business decision.. Really, it's not that tough to figure out.

They don't want to compete with the MLB with regular season games.

Do you think the MLB commish called the NFL commish and said, "hey buddy, could ya do me a favor?"
lmao

It's the only time of the year that MLB could possibly steal viewers away from the NFL.

World Series = Pseudo-interesting baseball.

That's why there's no Sunday night football game. NFL doesn't want to deal with a drop in viewership (nor does NBC, I bet), so they CNX the game for tonight in favor of the WS.

Right it has been that way for years.. because they would not trump the world series.

Simply put the NFL would have games if it made economical sense for them to do so. They could give a fuckall about baseball. It's rather absurd to think otherwise. The NFL wants to squeeze every penny out of their games... however, advertisers see the World Series audience as a premium.

The MLB is a competitor for the NFL. It's kinda funny that you don't understand that.
