Hey, he won that lawsuit ! (Three Dollars)...............at least it was more than Lane Meyer owed the Paper Boy in Better Off Dead.

1 - Baseball games have been too expensive to attend for families to go on a regular basis (5 or more games a year). Then kids don't grow up with baseball, and the sentimental bond is not formed. 2 - There are far too many other options for entertainment all year 'round and the younger people today would rather watch other people play video games than real athletes play baseball. 3 - Baseball has not promoted it's stars properly. Regular people would not recognize Mike Trout or Aaron Judge or Jacob deGrom. Back in the day even my mom knew who Reggie Jackson was. She knew who Nolan Ryan was. 4 - Financial Competitive imbalance. Seems like for long stretches it's the same 6-8 teams that are at the top and most of the rest of the league really has no shot. And even some teams who are consistently good like Tampa Bay and Oakland keep trading star players away as soon as they might be due more money, so they never really get over the hump and fans have a harder time bonding with a star player when they know every one of them is leaving. Baseball feels like the Big 6 and the little 24. 5 - Games are too slow. Part of it is sabermetrics and too many pitcher switches, but of it is the need to cram more breaks into the game to get more ads into the broadcast. Baseball has always been slow, but not like this. 6 - Little league baseball has gotten too corporate with travel teams. Black kids have virtually no connection to baseball anymore and you see the MLB numbers of black players dropping fast. Kids like many of us, who weren't very good at it, could still play on a little league team. Well now it feels like over the age of about 11 that if you are not good enough to be on a travel team, then you don't play at all. Again, no sentimental bond is formed. 7 - Home Run or Strike Out. When I was a kid you drew a chalk box against the school wall and played with a tennis ball...........You either missed it or hit it over the fence. That's what baseball is feeling like now. It's boring. 8 - Fire Ausmus.

This spring will be Michigan Panthers season...................and I'll be totally invested in them for the 3 games they play before the league folds.

I don't think they're starting this season on time. They are going to damage the game so much.

This 49ers vs. Rams game is great. Stafford just threw a pick to end it LA Rams have clinched the division anyway since Arizona just lost

And when you take the corruption out of it, it usually runs a lot better than we're led to believe. All these anti government people don't seem to have a problem with having roads to drive on, clean water to drink (usually), city services that they take for granted...........all things that, in most communities, run pretty well. It usually only really goes bad when some greedy asshole starts diverting things. Plus all these anti-Socialists probably didn't send back their stimulus checks.

Aaron Rodgers + Man Bun = Bigger Douchebag than ever.

Like they can't get a really good player at #2............in a year when there is no clear #1. The win was more important than that, actually.

Deltacron is by far the coolest sounding variant name so far.

Goff in the second half of the season has been pretty good.

I thought he bobbled that...................

horrible spot there

SWIFT.................carry the ball in the other arm there !

They say Joe Judge is safe? I don't believe that. Horrible coach and horrible GM.

yes, announcers, Aaron has suffered so mightily. Break out that cross !

The refs got bets to check on during halftime, they have no time for reviews.

Hip Hop songs in commercials are like a migraine to my ears. No melody. Just that one note, monotone blathering.

I feel an INT coming ............. can I get a Pick-6 !

Not the biggest and not the fastest................but his route running is perfect and he does not drop passes. He's a lot like Golden Tate

Who else ?

Go For It Here !

Didn't Calvin miss some games his rookie year? I seem to remember him leaping up for a high ball and coming down hard on his coccyx in Oakland.

Momentum has shifted a great deal. Packers are asking for it by playing The Martyr.
