Harry, why don't you just say that football is for the common man, not
one
such as you.

We understand your feelings.

Basketball and hockey are pretty animated and sometimes exciting. But
Baseball? First it occurs during the nicest months of the year. Who wants
to
be sitting in front of the boob tube watching guys constantly spitting and
adjusting their crotches, when they could be enjoying the great outdoors
instead.
There *is* the excitement of watching the grass grow on the field.

No, I'd rather be boating or fishing. Harry doesn't do much of either, so
watching baseball may be a good way to pass time.

I enjoy football, but baseball is really my favorite professional spectator
sport, probably because I played both in my youth. I never got much out of
basketball or hockey, mainly because I can only dribble with my chin and
fall flat on my ass on skates.

You should have showed up at the lake at the top of Fountain Street,
just above the Parkway. We would have "learned ya" ice skating and
hockey. (Not that I was either a great skater or hockey player, but I
was ok.)

Baseball is as much a mind game as a physical game.

Easy. I've seen pro football games up close and personal. I've seen them
on television, too. I don't like the game. I find pro football boring.

I've never seen any sport drag out the last few minutes of a game like
football. Way to many timeouts.

Wow, went out for early dinner and a movie and missed half the

Musta been a quick dinner and movie. Drive through at McDonalds and
screening of coming attractions?

Pftttt.. he watched the game, that's how he knew exactly when it was
over to start making his comments saying he didn't....

No, I didn't watch the game. Perhaps it makes you feel better to think
that everyone shares your affinity for professional football, but I
don't like the game. It's boring.

pffffttttt...

Heh. This year's Super Bowl was *anything* but boring.
But, to each their own.

What was boring was the advertisements. Only a couple of memorable ones.

"Commercials." You think there is pro football for any reason besides
television commericals?

Agreed. They are getting both bad and weird.
Budweiser came through with a decent on again, as usual.
