Re: Peter King on WEEI - " Games will be missed this year".[Mod Edit: "....if No CBA
Yes, I snarked at that too.
This year's Super Bowl illustrates as never before why Baseball is 1,000 miles behind the NFL and fighting with the crumbling and crooked NBA for distant second place.
The two SB teams were from a dead coal-mining city and a village of 98,000 residents. This would usually be thought of as a television ratings stink bomb. It only turned out to be the most watched TV program in American history.........beating last year's Super Bowl.
Now, ask any American to name one ballplayer from last year's World Series Champion SF Giants. What would be the success rate there? 1.5%? 1.7%? I used to be a pretty big baseball fan (until the Sox got the monkey off their backs in 2004). Now, I couldn't name that one player from the Giants. All I remember is the pitcher with the funny black beard.
The "red hot baseball" season trumps C-Span.
Yes, I've had trouble sleeping lately, so a "red hot" baseball season help me out.
