What is the #1 league in America? The NFL. Where did the last 3 champions come from? Green Bay, New Orleans, Pittsburgh.

Two of those 3 teams have a significant national following. The third has a strong regional following and was part of a bigger story. Let the NFL have a couple of Jacksonville, Tampa Bay Super Bowls and get back to me.

So we love great stories when they come out of the NFL but we resent when those stories in sports like MLB or NBA?

Different sports. NBA is star-driven, MLB is Yankees-driven, NFL is gambling-driven. You can bet on Saints-Colts as easily as you can bet on Giants-Patriots.

Yeah, I echo all the sentiment about TBL ranting about ratings. Who cares? The games have been terrific for two weeks now. I unfollowed TBL on twitter yesterday, and if TBL keeps up with post about ratings, I may stop reading this website all together.

Yes if people would just stop paying attention to him, then he would shutup. Anyone that cares more about ratings than the game itself isn’t a sports fan.

i agree with full point

Maybe they should play the playoffs in September and the Spanks 4,5,6 hitters will actually do what they are paid to do, hit.

Agree Fredo. Just don’t understand why people don’t want to see how this plays out. The ending to the season was temendous, Division Series followed that up with some great baseball and I look forward to seeing how this goes.

First round 7 game series aren’t going to happen, especially if they add more teams to playoffs. If ratings have sucked what will the extra games do, just ensure that teams the people who want a 7 game 1st round get in? There are other fans out there besides Sox, Spankees, and Phills fans. It was rocking at the Brewers v. Diamondbacks game and it was awesome to watch.

What is the #1 league in America? The NFL. Where did the last 3 champions come from? Green Bay, New Orleans, Pittsburgh.

If the NFL followed the demands that are being spewed right now for MLB, those stories would not happen. It’d be Giants, Cowboys, Jets and Pats ruling the NFL.

Great game. Well pitched, great D. Both games were spectacular to watch. Will be fun to watch different teams, excluding Texas, in the Championship Series.

What a game. I could care less about either of those two teams, but God damn… 1-0 in a deciding game? Doesn’t get better than that.

Cheers to the pride of Bedford, NH, Chris Carpenter.

i don’t follow him..i just go to various people’s accounts via links (dont have a twitter at the moment)

hey TBL, you don’t want the Phillies or Yankees getting bounced this early? Too damn bad. Perhaps they should have rosters built for the postseason and not the regular season. That’s why they play the game. For those of us who actually care about baseball, we want to see good baseball regardless of who is playing. If you don’t want to watch non-east coast teams, fine. Just don’t keep complaining that the idealistic way you would want it to happen isn’t happening

Seriously, TBL?

Stop following him, you only give trolls power by paying attention

Seriously, TBL?

I think he’s semi-serious (he’s also trying to get hits).

Don’t take it seriously.

@thebiglead: “Detroit vs Texas, St Louis vs Milwaukee? East coast shut out of the Final Four. Interested to see if Sportscenter leads w/ MLB Sunday/monday”

and this bandwagon media-ratings driven gem
@thebiglead: “Bud Selig needs to push for a 7-game 1st round series. Cant have yanks/phils getting bounced like this. If I watch any more MLB, go Brewers?”

Seriously, TBL? Sorry you can’t handle the major market teams getting bounced. You know who says that? People who don’t care about the sport. They just care about the dollar and the rating. Thank goodness it’s Friday. We don’t have to hear Cowherd rant and rave about how HORRIBLE it is that NY, Philly, and Boston aren’t in the playoffs anymore so nobody will watch it. Fuck that mentality. It’s all bullshit

Too late..if you read TBL’s twitter

Look if it doesn’t happen in NYC/East Coast, it just doesn’t matter. DEMOGRAPHICS!!!
