I say football. You have the week long build up, the anticipation of the games that lay ahead. Plus, there's the fact that the games are played when most of us aren't working, so we can hunker down and watch a full slate of games, and bask in the glory that is the NFL. The season is nice and tidy 16 games, long enough to feel satisfied, but not long enough to wish it was over. Plus, due to the clock, games are consistently 3 hours long. And with the smaller schedule, every game counts.


Josh, you ignorant son of a B. When are you and your liberal cronies going to wake up? Baseball is the best sport to follow all year. First of all the games are more accessable to average fans who can't afford the hundreds of dollars that football games cost. Second the non-stop play of the entire season means theres always something new to discuss at the water-cooler in the morning, rather than only on Mondays. And might I add, it is Americas past time. (and Happy Birthday.)


America's Past time? Try Past-it's-Prime!

The beauty of the Football season is that there is such a delicious build up to each game, and the whole weight of the world is hanging on each game...in the NFL your playoff hopes can change with 1 game. In baseball that takes a week...who has the time for that?

Plus, Fanatasy football is far more entertaining and accessible than fantasy baseball. Why does this matter? This just means more people have something at stake in the outcomes.


If you talk about leagues, yes the NFL is far better run and more fan friendly, plus much more marketable. The MLB is a week and rediculous league, run by the players association and where as soon as your teams playoff hopes are thrashed you stop caring. Plus fantasy baseball is not as much fun. Baseball is however a better sport, and I'll argue that to the death. The better league to follow all season? the NFL and since I see that as the ultimate question, I respectfully forfeit.
