why wouldnt nbc want to go up against fox for some viewers then? everyone i know would rather watch football. i mean, its like saying every network should just have dead air during american idol.
Most of them do, if you look at the shit they phone in when that's on.Red Forman wrote:

Exactly. The NFL is premium content.. stuff they'd rather not have split up, wasted.FEOS wrote:

An advertiser would pay more for time if they knew viewers weren't divided up between between programs. Why pay a large amount of money for an ad if you knew that people's attention where split up between two different events?
That's why when American Idol comes on most other networks run reruns of shows, since it's cheaper than a full new episode that they are going to try and sell to advertisers for big cash.

i love the people who say instant replay would slow the game down. lol. how about a batter taking 30 seconds between pitches ffs.
yes i understand this. but someone would have to prove to me that baseball would win in the ratings. i dont think so imo. be nice to find out one day.Macbeth wrote:

that Rodriguez homer that hit the camera is case in point.
It depends on the location I think. If it was a Subway Series between Mets and Yankess and a Giants game was on at the same time, I think the MLB would win the ratings game since Subway Series don't happen too often.Red Forman wrote:

Now if The Cowboys were playing the Titanslol titans and the Yankess were playing the Mets at the same time within Texas and Tennessee people would be split in favor of NFL.
You can play around any way you want with the teams and locations.
It's because it's the World Series. The MLB would not win in regular season. They play way more games for one. I'd like to see someone prove to me that the NFL is not having games tonight for charity. Completely illogical.Red Forman wrote:

who knows. all these rich cronies and politicians who knows what goes on. i dont think that is such a reach. not in this world. but you made your point. im dumb. got it. move on pls.
the sport blows
i hate it alot
i hate it alot
Your not dumb. I just don't think that particular point of view makes any sense. Because it is ultimately about the bottom line, I see tonight breaks as a financial decision. This isn't to say that football is not generally more entertaining, drawing more viewers. But this isn't a regular baseball game neither.

PS, I'm more pissed that family guy isnt on more than anything.

Nobody likes the yankees except ghetto kids and chavs who own the hat but don't know what baseball is. I know i'd watch football if it wasn't a chicago team.burnzz wrote:

point taken. and to answer the OP, i don't hate baseball. i hate that it wasn't what it was when i was a kid. and never will be again . . .
Going to a baseball match was possibly the most boring however many hours it was of my life.
The beer was disgusting, the fans were disgusting, the 'game' was deathly dull.
Actually playing softball is quite fun, you sit/stand around in the grass most of the day.
All you have to do is occasionally slug a ball over everyones heads and then walk around a little square.

Baseball is far better to watch than football, the caveat being you need to be watching "your team". My team wasn't in the playoffs this year, so I didn't care how that turned out, though.
I honestly don't know how people say it is any more boring to watch than football though. Each play has about a 30 second gap between them and it's about as often as a base hit that you have plays worth watching in football. Timeouts drive me crazy too, since they just make it time for another commercial break where you get to see more ads for beer or chips or whatever football fans like. I'm supposed to be writing a paper though, so I'll have to respond to your "wtf are you smoking?" follow-ups in the morning.
