I pretty much agree. If, let's say, I had to choose between a Giants' regular season game, and a Yankees' regular game. There is no doubt I'd watch the Giants. But, Yankees' in the playoffs vs Giants' regular season, I'd go with Yankees. The playoffs never overlap, so, not much of a problem there. Also, I see no problem with watching both games at once, something I've done many times before. That's the beauty of split screen TV's and MLB.TV. I can watch several games on TV, and have baseball on my computer. It has all worked out pretty well for me. On Saturdays and Sundays in September and October, my house is like a sports bar or the ESPN center. In a pinch, there is always TiVo and DVR. Ah, technology... Just an aside, the NFL generates about 7 billion dollars in annual revenue, compared to 6 billion for MLB. So, the difference is about a billion dollars, which is a lot on anyone's terms, but the relative difference is not really THAT much. Each single football game is a cash cow, but the MLB makes up for it somewhat in sheer volume or by having 10 times as many games. In regards to what sport is America's pastime, I still think of baseball as the true "pastime" for a number of reasons (that I won't go into here). Howie Long had a great quote during his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: "Baseball may be America's pastime but Football is America's passion". EDIT: Alright, a billion dollars is a significant difference. I must have been really tired and droopy last night, when I tried to say it was "not THAT much", lol. But, I think the numbers indicate total revenue which does include the playoffs.
