My friend told me the draft lottery outranked one of the stanley cup finals games. The lottery for a draft that has about 2 notable players.

Remember what I said about people voting for Rick Santorum earlier? How many people watch a sport is hardly the measure of its worth.
I think it is when it comes to sports. People don't watch shit that bores them, like hockey.

Hard to watch Hockey when it's on a no-name network, but I think the Finals were on NBC. Could be wrong.

Ratings need to be separated from discussion of individual enjoyment of experiences. There's definitely overlap, but just because more people watch the NFL than NHL doesn't mean it's better, just like Call of Duty selling more than Vanquish doesn't really mean that much when discussing what about the games appeals to individuals.

Can't wait for the MLS guys to come in here and argue how their sport is best sport instead of discussing it in their designated thread.
Barely this year. For the Boston/Vancouver series it was mostly (if not all) on NBC. Most people aren't going to tune into the Outdoor Life Network anyway, and just having your sport on cable for the championship is just embarrassing.

Nascar is where the true athletes play
xbhaskarx is one of those guys as well. MLS really isn't bad in specific markets. Soccer is just a dead sport around here. The Revolution have one of the lowest attendances in the league if I'm not mistaken. My largest exposure to the sport was the Portugal team growing up, but never caught on.

Did that guy really try to come in here and brag about how much more MLB makes? Of course baseball sells alot of shit. I probably have bought 10 MLB hats this year and couldn't tell you five players from the teams.
I would love Soccer to take hold more in the US but it's gonna take some time. I am not aware of the complete situation but I don't think diehard Revolution fans are happy with the management. League needs more Soccer specific stadiums.
My favorite was the attendance stat, where he forgot to mention that baseball stadiums hold like 20-30 thousand more people. No shit that will be higher.

The real question is: whothefuckcares
Why would you buy ten baseball caps if you don't follow the sport at all?

Youre one of those. I see.
That doesn't answer the question. They sell NBA variants.

I have NBA hats too. And NFL and NCAA.
I've just never gotten the mentality of wearing the cap of a team that you don't support, let alone a sport you don't follow. That's why I'm asking the question.
We'll just start a whole new batch of jokes about how he only has one.
This is the NBA. One doesn't cut it.

LMAO at least you admit it
The New York Yankee cap is beautiful. I've never had the urge to wear it.
Do you own Sesame Street caps?

If LeBron gets this one, I think he's ahead of Oscar, West, Dirk, KG, Robinson, and Moses on the all-time list and should probably stop getting shit...I think he can be in the discussion with Wilt and Hakeem if he gets another MVP and ring (and he'd probably win that debate as more time passes...)

MJ called getting one ring "luck", got to get another to prove it wasn't a fluke.
Did you, by any chance, hear the one about how he'll only give you 3 quarters if you ask him to break you a dollar?
Yup. Even then, he'll need more to enter a higher tiered discussion.
I love all four except baseball, which is tolerable in-person.
All are creative in their own ways, and have the freedom for different play styles. Baseball is like freaking horse racing. Just running around a track after hitting a ball. I don't care how hard it is, it's boring as hell.
But screw those kids that randomly buy MLB hats.

football is more boring,a whistle blows literally every 2-3 seconds.
I have a feeling where this is going now, and I'm sorry. I'm too old to collect stickers.
True, but i feel like a huge part of football is prep work, i like seeing the replay and the offensive and defensive formation, and what was supposed to happen and what actually happened and why.
It's pretty fast and without the commentary I'm sure I'd miss a ton.
I'm just glad he had that massive mental breakdown last year. It effectively ended any kind of serious comparisons to Jordan that would have been made years later. It'll still happen but no one will take them seriously at all now.
okay

Comparison never made sense in the first place...
Kobe - Jordan comparison? Makes sense. LeBron - Jordan? Not so much

You probably are. IDK what you are getting at about stickers though.
Jordan only had a sick game. He felt bad.
James had a cramp game. Physically unable to play. The doctors said it wasn't possible. James himself didn't believe.
It was the champion inside of him that forced him to continue
I'm assuming that you've left the stickers on the caps you own.
