I'll forgive the NFL players because this is a lock out, not a strike.

Umm... and isn't the BCS a complete peice of work too? Yeah, college football doesn't have any problems.

BCS is garbage, I will 100% agree

But at least we'll be playing this year and there is no chance of a strike from a bunch of half starved college kids

I'm probably the only person who actually doesn't want a college football playoff system...

You sure about that? How else could Pujols be asking for $300 million if no one was watching.

Looks like no one will be watching NFL if they don't get their act together.

No arguments here my friend. But in this case it'd be incredibly foolish.

But that means that many people are watching.

Most NFL games are sold out and teams have a list for season tickets about a mile long. Baseball games rarely sell out, outside of rivalry weekends. Plus you can get to a MLB game for around $5-15. Not sure of any NFL teams who offer $5 tickets, maybe the Panthers and Jaguars I suppose. Try getting a ticket to a Steelers game vs. trying to get a ticket to a Pirates game, but of course you have 81 games to choose from for the baseball game.

Not exactly, that means many people have an opportunity to watch. When you have 81 home games and can't even draw 5000 a night (not even going to mention TV viewership, or lack thereof), that speaks volumes.
