how is it overrated though?

I forgot that you're from h-town

I'm not too keen on your running game but johnson is one of the best miami wr's that has come out since wayne/blades/irvin. All you have to do is beat the colts when it counts

Our running game was solid toward the end of the season thanks to D Walker. Hopefully we draft someone decent.

Perhaps overhyped is the better word. All you need to do to see that is watch NBC's Sunday Night Football welcome song before the game starts. They make it seem like the earth stops its periodical rotation when an NFL match is being played.

dude you know i'll take college football over ANY sport any day but I can't deny that the NFL is the biggest sport in the U.S. hands down. Any way you look at it in terms of popularity, ratings, media interest, earnings/profit, advertising/sponsorship, etc.. They are #1 across the board.

Yes I do believe that without college football there would be no NFL. College football in its own way is extremely vital to the survival NFL and much more meaningful but it goes both ways.

But its completely ludicrous to compare the NFL to the EPL. Compare the fact that the NFL is much smaller and younger than the EPL yet what the NFL does on the bottom line for not only themselves but sponsors and other stakeholders its not even funny. The ability to do that in 1 country with MLB and the NBA is extremely tough to do.

I agree that I don’t waste time watching MLS or the NBA anymore (since the late 90's) but MLB is still greatness being that they make money without losing much either. Sadly the NFL has overtaken MLB as the national pastime of this country and rightfully so.

At the end of the day its not about popularity its about the paper

fuck the EPL

There is no doubt that MLB is the shit. Its a league with all the best player in the world, granted its the only league on its level. But still I love it. Andy is just angry because he's biased against a sport he doesn't understand and probably isn't any good at. I don't think NFL has the fanbase that the MLB has but they do kill with revenue, mostly due to expensive ticket sales. By popularity baseball is far more popular in the states because of the minor leagues. Every little town can have a baseball team which makes the sport so appealing to fans. I love me some WV Power games, especially when its playoff season and the heckling is stepped up a notch.

Have you played baseball for ten years? I have, understand it completely, and think it's probably one of the most boring sports out there. Thank goodness I spent most of my later years being the pitcher as that's where the only fun comes into play besides stepping up to the plate.

Then you haven't really played baseball. Fielding can be fun, especially if you have quality at the plate. But stick to your guns, I'll just keep not counting your opinion on baseball. After all baseball is probably the most difficult sport in the world. Granted I love soccer, but baseball is probably second in my book. I mean you have to hit a round ball with a round bat and that round ball is coming at you somewhere between 75 and 110mph and it could be curving. Thats hard. Not to mention if the guy at the plate does make good contact some poor guy in the field has to make a play. I think you have to respect that.

You don't have to respect anything I say. But I've played the sport for a long part of my life, so therefore I can say whatever I want about it. I've played in the infield, second base and shortstop most of the time, with the former being my favorite position on the "diamond." Pitching and hitting are the only difficult parts of the game.

Baseball is not the most difficult sport in the world. That's a bunch of shit dude. It's probably the only sport where you can be a fatass chugging around the bases and can still excel. At the age of 15 I was batting against pitchers who could throw the ball around 60 mph along with curve balls and the like. If you practice it enough and generally have fantastic eye-hand coordination, you can start hitting at higher rates of speed. If you don't have the athleticism and natural fitness to play football at the highest level, you won't. Both sports take practice to excel at and I found baseball much more easy to play than football.

Sure, it's very difficult to hit a baseball traveling at 100mph and it's impossible to master. I respect that. But the same thing can be said about scoring bicycle kicks past a keeper from hard crosses. By your argument, that makes soccer the most difficult sport in the world.

Maybe we should make a competition where instead of batting we send in tough crosses and see if we can score past a keeper, tallying it as the kicking percentage.

On a lighter note, I was wondering if anyone here has had problems with their bank accounts. I for some reason have had a total 3000 dollars added to my account over the past couple of days. I called the bank and was told they were cash deposits of $1000 made three times over the past week. Now I have asked my parents to see if it was them. Its not them. I haven't touched the money. I have called the bank three times about it and they continually tell me it is my money. Am I allowed to spend it? And lets say it turns out it was a bank error, can they make me pay back the money considering I have called them about 3 times and they told me "its yours to spend."

I don't think they can hold you liabl for their mistakes, especially if it's on your statement. Have you checked your statement recently?

But I think the best course of action is to transfer the money to me. Don't worry, I'll take good care of it.

I have an e-statement and they have not scanned in the deposit slips yet which I want to see because if I know the person I can pinpoint the handwriting. So I'm not really sure what to do next. I really want to go shopping. I have some things I need such as a new bag. I just don't want to spend it and end up paying it back.

Ya they do over-do the broadcast intro's on SNF/MNF but that’s all on the tv stations not the NFL. I don’t think roger goddell really sits there and says "I think faith hill would be a great act to have to start every SNF game".

Sounds pretty shady to me. I wouldn’t touch it even though its in your account. If anything you should have the bank suspend your account cuz obviously someone has been depositing into your account. Whether or not its by accident or not you don’t want to take any risks with stuff like this.

But b4 you call the bank withdraw some cash (possibly around the amount of $3k) and then call the bank. Its not a crime to withdraw from your own account

They can make you repay it now that you've told them you know about the error.

Nigerian drug dealers are using your account. Do not take the money. Open a new account, stop using the old account. Notify the bank in writing, by certified mail that there is a problem with your account. Don't let the Feds take you down. If the money is still languishing in your account 18 months from now, I say spend it on Jimmy Choos and have fun.

I never thought of it like that but its true, as much of an inadvertent monopoly it is, they do have the best players in the world.

It is tough but I can't compare the difficulty of major sports because many of them have basic common denominators such as speed, hand-eye coordination, strength, agility, etc..

Baseball is not the most difficult sport in the world. That's a bunch of shit dude. It's probably the only sport where you can be a fatass chugging around the bases and can still excel.

Don’t forget that Jerome Bettis was over 250 and is a HOF RB

Only thing I got from that is being in shape makes you an athlete. So running is the hardest sport in the world?

Dude you can't compare batting average to crosses in a game. You get to bat what 3 or 4 times a game in baseball. And you get what 10 or 15 opportunities to cross the ball in soccer? Its not comparable. Look Im not going to get into it with you about this. It wouldn't end up well. Baseball is a difficult sport, as is soccer. Leave it at that. I just wish you would put your head on a swivel before you speak.
