My problem with the NFL is not the game itself, but some networks presentation of the games. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can live without cartoon expoloding scoreboards, and Terminator sound effects when a score is put on the screen. Two decent announcers and the game is enough.

I think baseball is a superior sport, but I grew up in Wisconsin which is a football state and where the Packers are king all across the state. As a little kid I would wear my Green Bay Packers uniform, including helmet and shoulder pads, to watch the game on TV. I now live in Seattle which is much more of a baseball town, as is definitely not as crazy about its NFL team as other cities. In part this because the Washington Huskies in past has had a top college football team and in part because the city is partial to the Mariners.
